Hey Jimmy my partner paid out $7,000 aud to two mechanical firms to fix her 1994 xj6 jaguar and they took the car by tow truck and returned it by tow truck not being able to get it going but big handout for cash. Some people have no shame. I watched your video about the crankshaft sensor thought this dude knows what he’s talking about. I got a $22 part from China arrived quickly after the local suppliers quoted nine times more! Anyway came with a three pin connector not two so I took a gamble chopped them both soldered with my Parkinson’s hand put the shrink wrap onto it fitted it back on and not expecting it to start it fired on first crank and ran like a dream, we love it and I got a few kudos wink wink nudge nudge haha all thanks to you mate. I really appreciate it. This car hadn’t gone for three years and now it’s a dream motor. Thank you number one. Your the man...no doubt about that. Cheers Chris.
Wow. That's such a nice post to read Chris. Thank you so much. I always feel pleased when I learn that one of our videos has been enjoyed, or has helped someone out in some way. It means a lot, so, thank you. I'm learning about these things as I go. I'm far from being a qualified mechanic, but I like trying to do as much as I can myself on my cars. Sounds like your missus had a pretty bad experience with that garage. It pisses me off to think people act like that with no remorse. Still, I'm so glad your now sorted and that you can enjoy your X300 once more. All the best. Cheers buddy. 👍
Thanks Ian. I'm still holding out for it to be just a build up of primed fuel burning off. That's what I think the poppng and banging was when revving. She seems to be running fine at the moment, but will monitor as always. Cheers pal. 😎
20 years of bad brit cars .. get rid of the jag bud, sell and invert the money on the Capri ? Having said that I just spent $2400 on my 2014 V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee for a 'European designed ' 2 piece driveshaft ! FRIKING Hell, my 1977 Capri had the same two piece driveshaft after the one-piece MkI capri was seen as crap ! No extra money for 2 months ! Almost want to buy a Toyota ! Cars - money pits. but I would sell the jag !
*Covers Jag's ears* Sssh. It's OK. Don't listen to him. I won't sell ya. 🤣 Sorry Eamo, but the Jag's a keeper for now. Too sentimental to give up. Besides, she's a cracking car! 😁
@@jimmykneesall HAHAHA Jimmy ! well answered and put me down, just like my sons! Its your Car and you do what you want! Jags are super sexy ! I tried to buy one in the 90s , a MkIII but had an M5. Your cars are your cars and keep them! I sold a very GOAT Boxster S cheap and have regretted it since !

Good job Jimmy love your enthusiasm glad you got her going 🙂
Cheers Stef. Really appreciate that. Yeah, I'm glad too. She's still a cracking car in my eyes. 😁
Good work Jimmy!
Cheers Chris. Much appreciated buddy. 😎
That sounds like you have water in the fuel because the fuel filler neck drain is blocked and the water overflows into the tank.

A fucking Work when the old rusty Sensor is to get out
It's not too hard a job to do really, but it's certainly not helped by the rust. I guess that's just old Jags through and through! 🤣
Cheers Hendrik. 👍
Clean the throttle
body
Cheers pal. Never done such a thing before. At the moment, she seems to be running well, so fingers crossed. 🤞

@@jimmykneesall Jaaagg ! = Clarkson. Keep it brother !
@@eamo106 I know that my Jag would be worth nothing in terms of pound notes, but its fun value for me and Reggie is immeasurable. 😁
@@eamo106 Clarkson does love a Jaaag! 🤣
