Thanks everyone for watching this mini-series! Let me know what you’d like to see next… a new car on the channel, perhaps?

Just a warning for any inexperienced people wanting to 'have a go', changing springs with spring compressors is *very dangerous* and should be done with utmost care. I've been working on cars most of my life and it's not something I do after an incident with boot spring some years ago. The force these things have is incredible.

Hats off to you Joel for getting stuck in, but I find if surprising that you have been around old cars so much you have not done any spanner work before. If you are always dependant on paying for repairs, running old cars can become a very expensive hobby. All the best Andy

There's only one thing more satisfying than changing a shock absorber first time or doing an oil change and that is driving the car after and noticing how such simple maintenance transforms the car: roadholding improves with new shocks, engine revs with a 'happier' sound after the oil change. All that while the driver works hard to wipe a silly grin from his face.

I’d recommend using eye protection when working on old cars. Rust in the eyes is painful.

It's a start! Doesn't matter if it's a simple job, once you get into doing these jobs yourself, it saves you alot of money rather than going to a garage and you have the satisfaction that you did it yourself and probably took more care with your own car than a garage would.

Many years ago I did a service on a ford fiesta. I vowed never to do it again after getting covered in oil, ripping the skin off both hands and general feeling miserable about the whole procedure. So well done you

The Jag’s getting some love now 👍😊💪🇬🇧

Well done, you can now tackle more. Glad you are looking after the Jag. 👍👍👍👍👍

Fair play for having a go, of course it’s much easier doing in indoor rather than on the drive but encouraging to see what can be done. By all means get another car on the channel but the Jaguar has much more content in it yet!

Very well done indeed and kudos to your honesty. I think there's room for a series of 'Joel Does...' how-to's for the super novice car owner that wants to do the work themselves and save some money.

We’ll done Joel. I’m happy to tackle building-based DIY but cars, no chance! I changed my better halves car battery last week and was happy I hadn’t broken the car (and felt like I was a proper mechanic😉) so your exploits are something to aspire to! 👍😂

Great to see a super clean workbay. Kudos to Madder Customs.

We all start somewhere! 3 years ago I was doing my first oil change and now, I’m diving into my engine to sort out some issues with the timing chain and the valve seals. Mildly terrified the entire time but I’m staggered I’m able to do it.

Fair play to you Joel mate, good to see you getting stuck in. Looking forward to seeing the Jaaaaaaag back at full strength!

Nice one Joel - love jags even these crap ford era ones!!!! Also loving the TT Purchase. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!! Appreciate the channel and your efforts.

Enjoying these videos

"You'll be fine. You got the wheel off" LOL

Decent vid, much prefer the vids of you doing trips or just talking about these cars as opposed to current repairs being carried out on this jag

This reminded me back when I bought my S type. One of the windows didn't work, so I took the door card off, and the window regulator was unplugged. The window was held up with a sawn off broom shank😂. It turns out that the plastic sliders fail quite often. It was easy fixed with a repair kit from ebay for about £7. Always makes me laugh when I think of this.

Glad to see the age old skill of percussive engendering came into play 👌🏻

Its how i started, more you do more comfident you get,i recently changed all 4 shocks & springs myself saved a load of money,its nuts & bolts pretty simple,i use you tube alot to see how to do stuff

Great video. But always wear eye protection when working with tools. No exceptions to this rule.

Straightforward suspension repair / upgrade that will significantly improve the driving experience.. not just the worn bush but shock absorber performance gradually degrades (like tyres) and you will have restored the Jaguar refinement.

Good job. It’s all a learning experience and you can build on it AND don’t forget there is a ton of self help vids on KZfaq.

Well done 👍🏻

Congrats on undoing what looked like your first nut and bolt ever Joel! Hope to see a lot more dirty hands in the near future. Also, your gonna thousands in garage bills if ya keep those spanners spinning. Righty tighty, lefty loosy. That's pretty much all there is to being a mechanic... 😉

Lovely job 🚘🚙🚗⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great vid bro... But i doubt we all can fix if the ECu broken... It have tobe replace by new one and reprogram...😢

Good series. Next stop sill rust vids

Well done mate……

Sticking with the era of the Jaaag, a Peugeot 306 GTI-6 would be cool. Although probably pretty hard to come across these days!

Looking forward Joel to a Range Rover back in your channel buddy. Maybe a L405 next time?

always remember how the pads go example as ive seen people when they do replace pads that want to save money they put them wrong way wrong 🤣 i dont work in a mechanic garage but i had a friend say the pads are making a noise and they wrecked the disc since the pads where wrong way round 🤣😂

😊

worst thing is aftermarket parts i had to get one for picanto front left wishbone and what a bitch it was to get 1 bolt to fit as it wasn't align as it should and i nearly give up but never give up unless you know for a fact it not going to work lol

What happened to the Mercedes CLK?

Lexus LS4xx or GS300 mk2?

Any update on the jag?

I miss the 760li💔💔💔💔💔

Question. With the track rods out for new rear springs. Do you have to do a rear alignment tracking check ?

where is the Z4??

mazda 6 2014 up would be great

Take jag Germany

pre-filling a filter is a bit of a myth, it has been proven it doesn't really provide any benefit.

Stop pumping ££ into that worthless S-Type, Get an XJR and $punk money on that and you stand a fair chance of getting a return ££ wise!

Great video loved it well done 8t was fab

Working on it yourself is definitely the way to go when you're so deep into the car ££. Also having inside space to do some of this is a game changer 🦾
