A sad story really. Main dealers don’t want to repair anything, all they want to do is replace with new, at your expense.

With regards to the water leak, do your best to dry out inside the boot and just cover everything in talcum powder. Hopefully you should see the water tracking down through the powder. the added bonus to this should make the boots smell very nice.

If they didn't spot the leak in the boot or talked about history codes for your ABS unit (most likely reason cruise control failed) I wouldn't be overly impressed by how good or bad they found the rest of the car. I would look into replacing the entertainment unit for something modern that is made to fit in your car and not bother too much with getting it fixed, unless you find a specialist that can do it on a budget.

Those Jag prices are insane! Those headlights can be easily fixed with a headlight restore kit for under 50 pounds! Sounds like you've got yourself a nice Jag there Jack for the money!

First mistake - going to a main dealer. Go to an Independent Specialist/Dealer!

To be honest, most premium brand retailers are not used to having vehicles that old back in the workshop, unless they offer special rates for all vehicles. The policy dictated by the factory is replace rather than repair, however, if you use a good independent like Tom Lenthall then you can probably run one on a more reasonable budget. Clearly nobody is going to replace a front set of lights when you can simply polish them. Nevertheless, I think you’ve got yourself one hell of a car for the price that you paid!

Confidence in the dealer takes an early hit when they can't spell 'aerial'. The cruise issue is sometimes down to a fault in one or more of the wheel speed sensors; it can be just that they've got a bit cruddy but if there is a failure they aren't that pricey. A check of the fault codes would be useful. The central screen works just about all the secondary functionality in the car so of course you can't just put in a different head unit, but even from new Jaguars of this age had a bit of an issue with wiring connectors (I had an early XF) so it might be something as easy as just a disconnect and clean up the terminals. Fingers crossed!

Surprised there was NO bushing issues, well done, polish the headlights seal the leak, replace the wheel strut and drive it! Cheers!

If you'd used painters tape on either side of the panel seam, the black RTV would look "factory" when the tape is lifted. Smudging it on looks crunk.

Check the seals on the rear light clusters,there renoun for letting water in.👍

Wow! What a result. You must be well pleased. Fundamentally the car is sound. I’m pretty certain the German brands that many Brits seem so obsessed over would not have faired any better.

I'd be slightly wary of any dealership that can't spell aerial correctly. This one seems like they're more into misspelt mythology than realistic pricing. If there's anyone who loathes main dealerships more than I do, let's just say I wouldn't like to meet them down a dark alley.

More than 4.000 quid for the headlights is 'cheeky', shall I say politely... Otherwise, I'm impressed too Jack how good your car's current condition actually is. Former owner(s) must have loved it!

I'll bet that boot leak is the rear light seals, if the lights are at the end of the drain gulley or intrude into it I reckon that's your issue, get those buckles done quickly, I repair Alloy wheels amongst other things and another bang in that area will crack the rim, LOVE the XK's, the XKR being on my bucket list ❤ the hanging infotainment system will be a BCM issue, may need a re-flash, great video again Sir 👍

Whilst those wheels don't vibrate or leak air I'd still be concerned about them, alloy wheels bend slightly then crack which is something you wouldn't want to happen at high speed, Id make that a higher priority than the the tie rod. Otherwise looks like you have a bargain.

Main dealers almost always rip you off.

Agreed, a good result. Can't blame Jaguar for doing what they are supposed to do, which is quote for replacing worn parts with new. Agree with your approach of a mix of DIY & don't bother. One thing I would disagree on is the wheels. I'd have a specialist sort them out as there is a risk of a blowout. How old is the battery? These cars are notorious for electrical issues if the battery isn't in top condition. Might fix your dash & cruise issues.

Great result Jack! Personally I would get the rims repaired (could be pothole damage) as a priority and just for peace of mind. Otherwise, a solid Jag.

Had a XK 2009 x60 anniversary model it was a gem such a beautiful beautiful thing ,had it for two years enjoyed every minute but always niggling was that big repair bill round the corner sold for £1000 more than I bought it which to me is a resultWorking away from home I just didn’t drive another

10k is like your average monthly grocery bill these days, excluding liquor.

It would be interesting to see how much an independent Jaguar specialist would charge ,I know of one in Oxfordshire which is family run and very honest which is half the battle won .Good luck ,lovely car especially in black

You're a smart guy Jack, I'm sure you knew this would be the case taking it to a main dealer. What did it cost for that report by the way? The way the dealers work now is that they quote maximum for everything and expect you to leave it rather than take it, because they don't really want the work. If you are mad enough to take it, kerching! Up until a few weeks ago, I worked part-time for Euro Car Parts, and I would regularly deliver aftermarket parts to local main dealerships, including, VW, Audi, Volvo, Skoda, Peugeot, Vauxhall, Mercedes, Suzuki, Honda, Ford, Toyota, Hyundai, Nissan and Jaguar/Land Rover. BMW rarely bought anything from us, but it makes you wonder whether the others charge the customer for genuine parts and fit aftermarket, which are a fraction of the price. Average customer would not know the difference.

Your videos just get better and better 👍 looking forward to seeing more.

Water leaks are a real pain, and often take lots of detective work…good luck with that. As you have basically proven out in this video, if you are mechanically inclined, you can own and drive some nice cars if you are willing to do some work. I own two Jags, an XJ 8 and F-type, as well as a Porsche 944, and wrench on all of them. Glad to see you starting on the Pantera project, that’s content I enjoy. All the best.

What have we learned here: 1. You can buy a cheap older once expensive car IF you know what you are doing and MANAGE your expectations. 2. Jaguar have a done a great job in telling you what needs fixing and what doesn't. 3. Jaguar have a done a great job publicising why main dealers are a complete rip off. 4. Most of these jobs are not life or car threatening. Can be tackled by you and over time. Thanks Jaguar!

I bought a 2007 XK with 113k miles in late 2014. Most of the issues I had were interior cosmetic (buckled leather on the dash being the worst) due to the Texas heat. The aerial was an issue, but I just disconnected the power to it, that way it would always stay retracted. The only real failure was with the coolant expansion tank. It cracked at the inlet hose and I had to replace it. Which in replacing it lead to several of the other plastic hose connectors for the coolant lines to break. I believe the plastic connectors that Jaguar used in the engine bay seemed to be prone to heat damage over time.

Good to hear that the Jag is essentially in good order and a great buy. No great surprise that a Jaguar main dealer overcharges for maintenance and repair, but the sums involved were truly eye-watering.

main dealer master-tech here, let's rewrite that list --- red - 2 buckled wheels, all the rest - amber... yes, they are going to stick it up you, but at least get it in the right order... centrifugal force at high speed, along with a hot, pliable tyre has a good chance of air loss, which will cause further heat build-up + eventual failure, not ideal. look at 7:54, the rim is deformed by about 3mm away from where metal should be to hold the bead securely in place. it ain't coming off round the doors, but soon as there is 3 digits shown, tighten your seatbelt... cruise reqs no background faults visible, best guess, dodgy ABS signal keep it up young man, + fix your wheels PS, i would love to see their full internal refurb costs if it was one of their sales cars [£1500?]

WELL PLEASED for you Jack! that must have been a relief once you pulled the details out of the total price! Interesting to see what dealers prices are like of course (Yawm) they are more expensive than specialists but we all know what we know right! Clear example of some of the stupidity of prices, especially headlights - if you insured that car with my employer and love tapped another car, we'd total loss it just for x1 headlight and respraying the bumper - untter madness!

You can't beat dealer prices 😊...... fix nothing, just replace. Lovely car, well done. I'll enjoy following this

Very interesting - I was looking at an XK8 here in New Zealand on Sunday offered for about the same price you paid and wondered how much pain there might be! Tempting once you got past the Jaguar dealership quote and talked sensibly about it - thanks for the report 👍

Just a thought......, the water leak Look to see if the drain hole in the petrol filler flap recess is not blocked. (Mine was and it backtracked rain into the boot)

They've invented a contraceptive flour, so now you can eat your cake and have it!

Recently purchased the same model Jag here in the US. I'll be following to see what kind of content you have.

Your cruise control issue can be caused by a dodgy rear wheel speed sensor or even a soft tyre. They're not expensive to replace and an half decent OBD scanner would pick up speed discrepancies. If is gets worse, it might also flag up gearbox issues reported in whatever gear you're in at the time.

Haha - i wouldn't place too much stock in what the main stealer comes up with. As regards the water ingress, try a smoke tablet - great for detecting all kinds of leaks.

Lovely Car! Looking forward to the follow up videos :0)

Congrats for that purchase. 3 years ago, we bought from a Jaguar dealer, an XKR convertible (416 Hp) from the same year as yours, with 109.000km (66.000miles). After that my BMW M3 convertible and my Audi S8 are always parked at home. Such an amazing joy of a car. Fast, Stylish, comfy and fun to travel on it. It’s an outstanding package. The problem is going to be to find a replacement for such a plush and fun thing.

The last 2 cars I had that leaked in the boot were both caused by water tracking around the flange for the boot seal. Try removing the seal, cleaning the flange and then run a bead of sealant on the flange before refitting the seal

I love the way they came up with an 11 grand bill and didn't mention ANY of the things you found wrong before you got there LOLOLOLOL

In my 2007 XKR Convertible (had it for 9 years) the entertainment unit freezing on the startup screen was an indication of a weak battery (these cars eat batteries, they usually lasti for only 3 years max). Swapping in a good new battery / keeping it on a top up charger if you don't drive it very regularly is a good move.

You got a bargain there! Also recognise some of the roads you filmed on, so great to see another local car youtuber!

The headlight cost is surely a typo,how can they keep a straight face when showing you that 😂

The main issue here is that you went to a main agent. They do a very poor job, charge the earth and tell you everything needs doing. Total rip off.

Love the shot of climbing inside the boot while the oppo squirts a hose on the car!

Good luck with it, I hope it goes well and will be keen to see the follow ups. I always lusted for an XJ 12, as a long legged Aussie tourer, but I reckon I would be happy as Larry in your beast, take care

Are you willing to disclose how much the dealer charged for this very comprehensive assessment and report? Brilliant video, thanks!

Who’d have thought a Jaguar main dealer would try to rip you off 🤣

I can't believe that price they quoted for the headlights. Insane

At the end of the video we saw you climb into the trunk and a second gentleman started hosing down the rear hatch from its highest point. You probably know to start low and slow (is that true in most of life?). He needs to know as well. Thanks for the ever entertaining content! Brian

I can genuinely see Jaguar going the way of Saab, especially when they see the future being solely electric.

I don't know why the dealer is blamed so much in the comments. He asked what they think needs doing and that's what they gave him. Noone is holding him at gunpoint forcing him to give them the ten thousand pound to do the work. The things they deem necessary are 500 pounds, which seems reasonable.

Great content - becoming a habit. Apreciated, well done.

Great video, shocking prices, but not entirely surprised. I've got an x100 XKR and I've recently had it fully resprayed, and whilst I was at it, I did an overhaul of the underside, powdercoating everything and changing bushes/shocks, full brake caliper overhaul/re-painted etc, the lot. Anyway, the point I'm getting at is, whilst it was in for repairs, I decided to replace the lights as they looked a bit tired. So new rear lights and new front headlight lenses, genuine might I add, from a reputable genuine parts dealer online (not JLR, the other one). Anyway, fast forward a year, and both genuine lenses are leaking, they weren't cheap, and Jaguar don't want to know. So if you're silly enough to go through dealers, (I know you're not) it would be daylight robbery, but if you go down the genuine parts route (thinking you're fixing things to the best of your abilities), turns out the parts are still problematic, massively disappointing.

All the best with the Jag! Still chomping at the bit with regards to the Pantera ❤

Great video jack, was thinking about you and the Jag in Leeds, as on one of my routes I found a convertible xk with a blue metallic mat body, with black bonnet vents , looked awful. One of our other routes over in Halifax, there's an independent dealer and service company called West Riding Jaguar, this looks a great place , and gets to the crux of these nice cars and prohibitive service costs of the main dealers, as you and some other comments have alluded to, the main dealers unless they have a long history with an older car, ie from new , don't want you or your car. I don't think it's just jags I'd say your Merc S class comes under this too and maybe even the lovely lexus, they can all be maintained by specialists who really do know what they're doing. I like the Jag, it is as nice as the equivalent Aston etc and I think once you've done those jobs will be very nice. Another brill video. Best wishes and early seasons greetings. Ben ,🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇦🚌🚐😺

Just subscribed, fascinating, look forward to seeing more of your journey with this car.

Your XK has got me looking at them on eBay again, but I'm nowhere as lucky as you!

Nice vlog. Hilarious thumbnail. Really enjoying this series so far. Are you planning android auto/apple car play for the headunit?

Came across your video as I’m thinking of buying an XK or XKR and doing as much research as I can. Really interesting video which actually gives me more confidence in buying despite the ludicrous costs quoted by main dealer. Thanks again for your video.

Hello Again, it looks as if you have a really good car, most post 2000 Jaguars are, well done. Regarding the boot water leak, do what you can if no success then taking care 'drill' a couple of holes in the boot floor, otherwise you will be looking for water forever !!!! Regards, RichardA. (a Jaguar Owner)

You got a good buy over all. Having seen you and other cars easy peasy.

Why are you so surprised - you took it to a Franchised Dealer, their overheads are huge and they have to make the money back and the mark up on parts is through the roof!!.

I really enjoyed your video so I liked and subscribed. I had a Mini hatch JCW and had a water leak in the boot which is a common problem but my Mini dealer sorted it under warranty and I wish I had asked them how they fixed it as my neighbours Mini has the same issue and despite many visits to a garage they have not been able to track down the leak. One of my mates who lives down south has just bought an old XXR which he says is mint so I will be following his ownership with interest as I have a 19 plate i-Pace currently. I look forward to your content and will follow your back content with interest.

I’m really looking forward to you getting this great car into fine order.

Water leak. I noticed when you lifted the tail gate that water came out, that combined with the condensation in the number plate light leads me to think the water could be getting into the tail gate and then into the boot. It could get in via the hinges, cable gators, number plate light cover or possibly the spoiler. Worth a look.

Great video 👍 I would really un-dent the wheel rims though. Wheels are maybe the most critical items on a car. With all dynamic forces put on them, especially at this sports car, I wouldn't dare taking the risk.

You should unplug the connectors for the electronics that aren't working and spray the connectors down with deoxit, reseal the edges of the plug with dielectric grease. Sometimes slight decay in the connection forms over time, the low voltage can't overcome the resistance.

I’m not a Jag fan as I’ve owned one. I’m the guy that usually slags JLR off. However this was a great video of a lovely car. And so encouraging to see how good it actually is. Most people could tackle much of this or find a cheaper fix as you point out. The car looks great and I hope you show us when it’s all green. Did I miss how much the inspection cost? I’m guessing about £400? One last thing,,, on a trip to Stratstone Jaguar Cardiff many years ago the manager came outside while I was waiting for yet another expensive repair. He said “back again..”. Then his bombshell,,,,”you know why it breaks down? ,,,, because it’s a car…” no joke. He honestly seemed to believe that cars get a lot of faults. He was so indoctrinated with the JLR mindset. Unbelievable.

I have resubsribed to your channel. I left it before because you went down the piss water stream. Good work

This reminds me of the time I took my 2009 Mercedes-Benz W204 C200 to the dealer for an inspection. I had a similar laundry list. I only got them to replace the rear subframe as this was covered by the warranty and was the reason it went to the dealer in the first place. I also agreed to have an exhaust clamp and the flexdisc that goes between the propshaft and differential flange replaced because there was no extra labour involved to replace those parts and it was clear in their inspection video that they needed to be replaced. I fixed the other problems myself and come MoT time, the car passed with only 3 advisories.

Great video, I bought an XJ and found an independent garage and entrusted any work to him. So far, after 6 years of ownership, very happy with all of his work and pricing. In the first year of ownership it failed its MOT on split gaiters, the Jaguar garage quoted £1064 plus vat..... He did it for £120!!!!!!!!

Nice one Jack, looking forward to the diy videos. Get those hands dirty 😉

Great vid. I'm sure some of those jobs you can do. And the rest done at a garage for a reasonable price. As you said Headlights, grab a polishing kit. Screenwash, drain it, flush it. Clean the filter. Have the exhaust tip that's loose welded.

Great video Jack. I've been looking for one of these for a while but I live in Spain where even high mileage older models are twice the price you paid. The 4.2 is definitely a better bet than the 4.0 but the jury's out on whether to go for an XK or an XKR. I'd get that rear wheel fixed. A high speed blowout is no fun 😉

This summer I went Jaguar hunting and bought a 2002 XK8 for $8k. It had 98k mileage and had 13 years earlier been declared a total loss due to a flood. It looked perfect, drove great and every item worked on it. Similar Jaguars with half the mileage and double the price either didn’t drive well or had things that didn’t work well or some blemish to the body. I bought mine with the thought that it may cost me the purchase price again ($8k) to fix all that was wrong with it. So far, I have paid about $5k on various repairs. Meanwhile, I get the pleasure of driving a beautiful car that cost upwards of $60k when new. I figure I will in the end be ahead of the game if I need to put more money into it. There are few cars on the street new within the price range of $60k that I would prefer to own and I could easily afford to buy them if they existed.

Hi there ! You can use developer spray to find the water leak in the Boot. It will spray White particles wich then get dry and let you trace the leak Path. It sticks on once it has been sprayed, so its less mess then talkum powder. You can wipe it away later. Those spray are used in Fluid penentration Tests for Cracks. I work in Aviation Maintenance and we use this stuff to find fuel leaks.

I remember the XJ's I had in the past, (70-80's) all had that problem with the aerial they all stuck at some point, you would have thought they would have come up with a better idea by now, main agent always rip people off, they like to deal with the banks etc who have no idea of value of money, great vlog.

Problem with main dealers is they charge high labour rates per hour, and also are barred from using good quality used parts where these can be used without affecting safety. They also must use Jaguar-supplied consumables like discs and brake pads. Best to find a good Jaguar specialist, but depending on where you live, this may mean going quite some distance to get work done.

I have a leak in my boot also where water is pooling at the very bottom while the rest of the sides seem dry. It seems to have occurred since it’s re spray along with a few other annoying things. As for your sticking radio mast. Again I had similar issue whereby it wouldn’t rise all the way up and would not lower completely. My solution which bye the way worked and sees the mast rise and fall effortlessly now, is a can of WD40 with the red tube attached to minimise overspray and a kitchen towel or two. Step one: Turn ignition part way enough to get dash to light up. Turn on radio and quickly run round to the mast and firmly, evenly and gently pull/help the mast rise until all the way up taking care not to bend this way or that. Step two: Wipe mast clean from the bottom to the top )not the top to bottom as that may push any sludge or grit further into the next section of the mast) with kitchen towel. Step three: Lubricate each mast section using kitchen towel to guard overspray and wipe wd40 evenly from bottom to top allowing liberal spray of wd40 to trickle into each section top. And liberally wipe excess wd40 off again bottom to top. Then turn off radio and run round to the mast to gently help the mast lower in the event or as soon as it begins to struggle lowering. Step four: Repeat this process as many times as necessary (probably at least three or four times plus) as this will enable you to fully wipe off any escaping sludge or grit that will be dislodged from the mast section joints. By the end you should find your mast rising and lowering without issue. This is clearly a bit of general maintenance that will need to be done from time to time say once every six months to annually. NO NEED to go out buying a new unit unless completely broken. Hope this helps

Sand those headlights down and then re-lacquer them and they will come up looking brand new! Great video and a really nice car!

Yes Jack....for now. I have identical issues with my 18 year old Lexus. Including: Rear subrame which I had blasted and sealed, also thr headlights were polished, but I have an annoying steering vibration, possibly due to a worn upper wishbone. I try and get various things done economically as they arise but am always slightly worried an expensive job is round the corner (particularly the folding hardtop) that I can't avoid! So far the car has been good (servicing aside), but it needs a rear exhaust section due to identical issues to your Jag and, unsurprisingly, no pattern parts exist. I'm afraid it's a case of fingers crossed 🤞 and keeping them crossed. But they're such lovely cars to drive. lol. I would however, with respect, advise a gentle transmission fluid change (not a flush) if it has not been done already. Good luck and keep up the good work. Merry Christmas all. 🎄

A lot of car for the money, one of the best looking GT's in my opinion ( I have an XKR rag top ). Made me grin when Jag could only find 3 "major" issues the second of which was washer fluid . Great videos, thanks.

Looks like an absolute bargain and a lovely motor , could fix all those bits yourself in no time .Id wager you are on the right lines with the panel bonding causing the leak , my mazda had the same issues.

We have a Touareg. About 100 km from home, on the way back to the UK, just 10% of the journey done, on a motorway, cruise control in operation, suddenly, the cruise control dropped out and lots of warning lights, ABS, Traction Control etc came on along with other notifications. Quite scary at the time, but nothing dangerous. I continued to the UK and went to a garage that I knew. I couldn't take it into VW due to time constraints as we were flying out of the UK the following day. The chap put it on his computer and it threw up four A4 pages of faults! He told me not to worry as it was likely to be just a single item. An ABS sensor to the right o/s rear wheel. I ordered one from VW and collected it on our return. £104 for a small, mainly plastic sensor. Changed it and everything was back to normal. I think your cruise problem is something similar.

I had a BMW 528 Touring that ran the offside rear tyre flat on a dirt road and buckled the rim. Found a fellow that straightened wheel rims using a spinning lathe (Sydney, Australia) and he rolled the buckle out so well that when the new tyre was fitted it needed minimal balance weights to balance it. The 528 suffered from failure to enable the cruise control command but that was due to an electrical fault in the ignition switch. Failed twice for the same reason in the 15 years that I owned the car. Water leaks ha!. A long time ago one of my Engineers discovered an automotive device comprised of two parts. One was an untrasonic sound generator that you turned on and sat inside the car. The other bit was a receiver that you went around edges of windscreens, panel seams etc. looking for escaping sound. In those days output was three LEDs, green OK, yellow slight leak, red bad leak. Test had to be done when the car dried out as water in the leak path would block the sound otherwise it was a very useful device. Probably a modern version is still available.

Main dealers only understand finance - nothing else ! Specialists are always the best. They resolve problems rather than replace problems with expensive new parts.

I bought my 08 XKR Convertible early May. It was advertised at £12k with 87kmiles FSH. I ended up paying £10k for it. It need pads, discs, water pump, supercharger water pump, pulleys, service, tyres, and the wheels renovating. The car had an outdoor cover on the previous winter and it had scuffed all the drivers side paints work. I managed to polish it all out and get rid of the scuffs. I’ve spent about £4,500 and the car now is awesome. I had a hand built exhaust made for £500 and it sounds incredible on power now. Superb car. I’ve had 2 XK60 anniversary editions which is the best looking XK imo. My next job is alloy wheel refurb. I restored the hood myself and it looks like new again. New boot badges and some trims painted just the front grills to do now. Love the XK. Such a great value car. Front control arms are soo important to tyre wear and the whole feel of the car well worth doing for a couple of hundred quid.

Great vid good car enjoy it 👍🏻

In regards to your water leak, pay special attention to the factory sealant (such as the one seen to the right in the 3:14-3:17 part of your video). It may look robust and impressive but it does get brittle with age. My wifes old Saturn SC2 would get water in the trunk ( boot for my U.K. friends 🙂) . Took some serious investigative work but I finally found it was leaking from a area of factory sealant. Once that was removed and resealed, the problem went away.

Some relatively recent and very recent experiences of mine with my Mercedes 6.3. I paid for a comprehensive assessment of the Mercedes for recommissioning The transmission was flaring slightly. Their conclusion was a complete rebuild needed. In fact it was simply low and you needed to run the engine and test it running to get correct levels! The transmission was never rebuilt but allot of other work was completed by another business who did a great job. The other business didnt have shiny women on the front desk or knowledgeable german head mechanic. They just had a real enthusiast and lots of old cars. Be careful is all I can say.

Main dealer £10k. DIY over a weekend, £500. Great vid

In the past I used to do a lot of leak work as I worked for a British Leyland Dealer. It is surprising that the water ingress does not actually come from where the water is. An Allegro for example the water collected in the boot but was coming in the Front screen. The best way is to get a person to lay where the water collects and using a pressure washer spray a section of the car at a time, rear lights, boot, then work outwards,. Eventually you will find where the water tracks and by process of elimination you will get it. I am assuming that is when parked but if when driving then under wheel arches etc. Also check that it does not happen when you use the washer motor, often it is a single pump which does both ends and you use the fronts and it leaks at the back. For me this is the most time consuming thing to find for a dealer as it eats time of two people.

Found the boot leak came from perished window trim in mine. My choice was to either replace rear window or I bought a small tube of clear window glue that I ran down the window trims. Works in wet. Eventually I replaced window but this was the cheap way of finding if it was the problem. Worth a shot

Great video Jack, they're just robbing barstools.

Ask any dealer and they dont make money on the cars hence servicing, upgrades and replacements. I was quoted $850aud plus labour for a new replacement rear windscreen washer motor on a Nissan Pulsar 2013. I got one from a breakers for $100. Dealers survive on company car, or finance owned cars when its contracted to service, or for warranty residual value... Good luck with the new motor...

That leak along with the missing heat-shield makes me suspect that it's had a shunt in the rear! Also could possibly explain the corroded rear sub-frame, as it may have been sourced from a wrecking-yard!

as you lifted the boot up you could see water dripping out so that means the water outlets on the boot are not doing there job also if the boot gets warmer it will get rid of the water lol and if you have a buckle in the wheels then think of the tyres they must have hit something really hard thanks for the video and good luck

Airel mast, must be JLR special. Lovely diy fixer.
