Bonus points to anyone who can name all the discs in the changer.

Sorry about the lack of ending on this one. It's an older video. I wasn't going to even publish it but I thought what the hay. Here it is FWIW.

You're not alone. I still listen to CD's in my car.

They build things like that, never thinking that someone would take it apart to fix it. Everything like that is considered a 'disposable unit'. Kudos for solving the issue!

It's just amazing, who manages to design these things..! A lot like those really old tube radios with those huge push buttons etc..The metal and shafts etc..We've lost a lot of that design and architecture nowadays. Great video Brad, I admire your tenacity and determination to get that up and running..Ed..uk..😀

I use CDs still! They’re the best option for hifi sound unless you have a luxurious reel to reel setup

Brad spray the grease in the cap, then use a qtip....please!!!!!!

11:25 yes it will drain. You have to unscrew the top cap I believe….and then the rest of the antenna will come out with needle nose. Spray some lithium on the cogged plastic cable…it only goes one way. The cogs go either front or back. Cant remember, been a while. Turn on your radio…extend. Turn off your radio with you feeding the whole mess back down.. Then put on your cap. Jaguar has them in stock, they sell them by the gross.

That was cool. The car is still lookin' good. Thanks man.

The CD player looks very similar to Phillips CD as fitted to 90's Vauxhall's UK or GM in the USA ?

Brad the Jag is the perfect car for you ... as your repair skills really come in handy when it breaks down every three months.

When I stopped by last year to drop off that Peavy. I pulled in the driveway and I saw that Silver/Gold Jag and thought damn I didn't figure Brad for a Jaguar. All the Disc changers from the mid 90s to early 2000s all have trouble after awhile. If anyone can figure it out it's you 😎🤘

You have more patience than I Brad.

I had an XJ12 with Pearl Jam stuck in the CD player...The radio unit had so much anti-theft hardware and software that it was impossible to work on...I have never grown to hate a band as much

Can't believe that thing had a telescoping antennae. I did the same with an 88 Prelude. The replacement antennas are so much better....

Did you ever figure out what those shavings or pieces of rubber were or where they came from?

I buy pack of cheap brushes from the arts & crafts store, and use the thin ones to paint on lube or glue in tight spots. You can spray into a small cup or direct onto brush tip. The wide ones can be used to get dust out, if I use compressed air the dust ends up in my nose.

CDs ain’t too bad. I like CD players that can read MP3 files. In my car I drown in cassette tapes!

Could have sworn i heard the intro to Beneath the remains from Sepultura. You've have great musical taste.

Mine did that and I just had to clean the lens. It wasn't able to read the toc fast enough and it causes the discs to cycle.

On one of those discs did I here the opening intro acustic part to one of my favorite sepultira albums scitzofrena

The Laser lens may need a simple clean? Just a suggestion.

It's just checking what cds It's got in the magazine or just press play to buy pass . The most reliable 6D changer still ,Mp3 versions are nice

We still use CDs around here. My brother drives a 2005 Lincoln LS, it has no Bluetooth or anything, but it does have a tape player and a CD player. Every time I've ever got in his car, he was playing STP's greatest hits on CD lol

Nice ride man

I listen to CDs also….got a nice selection in my car right now….Hendrix, Black Crowes, James Brown, The Band, and my own weird songs….still love CDs

That connection is more commonly used by JVC. Alpine and Sony did use them, but they're not as commonplace as the 7 and 8 pin DIN connection. If I remember correctly Kenwood only uses DIN, but I could be wrong. There's so many variables over decades of car audio.

Hell yeah Arcade Fire!

How did you get the springs back on?

I've got 2 of the component type 5 disc changers, one cycles fine then starts to skip, the other will rotate the turn table etc, but will not play the discs. I'm thinking of lubing both, all I have is wd40 & 3 in 1. Last one I had was a Fisher that was a record turntable & CD 5 disc player. It worked then quit,then started working again for about a year then quit. The 2 I'm talking about are Sony & Pioneer. Frustrating as hell.

I think every cd changer i had would cycle through every tray rather 6 or 10 disk only when reinserting the magazine. I believe it does that to check for how many disks are actually in the changer.

Funny that the yellow sticker is in Danish, in an English car. Must be a B&O (Bang & Olufsen) unit?

I do I bit of watch repair. Just as a hobby. May I suggest when putting any lubricant on such stuff that maybe put a small amount on the end of a screwdriver then place where you want it. Best of luck hope it works out. I had a changer that had trouble, turned out to be the laser. 🤪

Lube dat shaft real good now ,that's what I'm talkin' bout baby !

Even in electronics it's called a Mag and not a clip...😎

Do Jaguars still come with a big bag of cat litter to soak up the leaking oil?

Everyone knows you just spend 4K on a new Jaguar stereo and have it installed. Who fixes that kind of thing? Good job Brad. I probably would have just shot that damn thing with a shotgun to be honest. Soldered in ground screws. Damn they tried hard to not have someone try to fix it for sure.

hey brad!

Try cleaning the cd head. Dust can get stuck and make it so the disk can’t be read. Dust bunnies come and go on the head. Don’t blow it out with air as that can cause misalignment of the head.

ill have a look if I still have my old land rover one ( non fibre optic) in the garage. If i still have it I'll price up sending it over to you its the old 8pin one ( mini iso)

Fun fact: The yellow label inside is in Danish and reads. Warning: Invisible laser beam when opened when the safety switch is out of order. Avoid exposure to radiation. Kinda weird when it says Made in Hungary. I guess that changer is from all over Europa :-)

Pretty sure I seen the new tool album in there

Thats identical to the CD changer that was in the trunk of my '99 Ford Escort I used to have

Why they ever thought it was a good idea to put the disc changer in the trunk ill never know 😂

still got the cassette player too i see...

Seriously top vlog Brad .....got a similar issue with the changer in my Clk500, sometimes it picks up the CD sometimes it doesn't .....Bitch...not sure I am of your calibre to fix it myself and will probably get a replacement from Ebay ......lol ..Love to you man and total respect to ya ..Jonny R :-)

CD changers always cycle through every disc each time you eject the magazine and put it back in.

Metal on Metal? Killer Anvil song. 🙂

Having the disc changer in the trunk is so stupid.

I would have vacuumed up the the remaining grease because once that heats up it's going to be a nightmare.

waiting for the hammer to come out in 3....2....1.....

Looks like a common DIN connector.

It needs to be recapped.

Grease is the word!

The solution is the aux in and spotify 😆

It’s little things like this that end a car sitting in a salvage yard. I know, you probably don’t get a lot of salt on the roads just like where I live. So the actual structure of the car lasts a long time. I see cars sitting in pull a part, and I wonder why sometimes. And I think a lot of little things, people can’t fix. It’s a shame, because you tube has so may do it yourself videos.

You have to shut that sliding door for it to work

i sure hope those were just burnt disks...

I use CD's and MP3's, CD's are far better quality of sound, in fact the .OGG are 20times fatter than an MP3 or MP4.. way more content.. if you remember .MP3 was written in the day when broadband was still dialup and the fastest around was maybe half meg DSL for fat pipes, (mainframes) most homes had like 256 till around 02 when the "mighty" 1 meg hit the pipe... and boy were we in heaven.. 256 meg graphic cards like the voodoo2 card... oh boy, we ere getting uber fast 500mhz CPU's, man it was heaven.. however the MP3 was written for dial up so the trimming was massive in an effort to get it up and down the pipe in a reasonable manner, nothing has changed in that respect, still very stripped down format in any event so CD's all the way whenever I have a chance to indulge in the very best of digital recordings.. yup, some JACKWAD stole all my CD's from my mustang in like 04' however I did rip 2 of each as christmas presents for my cousins in 03' full .OGG format, had very rare Skynyrd bootleg box kit sold at costco back then, when they sold bootleg.. this had the very first recording of freebird which ended with no extended soloing, at first this song didn't have the massive soloing at the end.. nope, different acoustic beginning as it was before powell was intehband... still good, very folk frankly there will never be a better recording than the .OGG as it entails every single byte of data, nothing is left out, they can be up to 2 gigs in size, CD's are usually around 30 gig in capacity, double will be used for larger.. blue ray hold many CD's, same quality however... id save em all, never get rid of your music CD's.. they can be cleaned up too if real scratchy, bout $20 for the cleaner...

Ebay get a new one

Jaguar antenna $1200

Maybe you can fix my cassette player, jk

Or you could just get a car bluetooth receiver and be done with that relict. It charges your phone, acts as handsfree, plays your music from blueetooth and usb flash devices as well.

Sorry Brad but the dumb mistake was buying a Jaguar.

Thats sepultura lol

Sorry brad time to get you a new automobile I hate jags they a mechanics nightmare
