Good luck Graham. It's a time consuming job, but not that difficult. Hopefully my video helps you ;)

@@carfanfan Not much info out there to be honest. Jag dealer near me says they have never issued one....must be reliable. Dealer wanted £160 !!!!!! So I'm fitting a second hand one from a salvage yard....£30. 🤔

@grahamevans9606 holy cow. That's expensive. Glad you got a salvage one. They don't usually fail. What happened to yours?

@@carfanfan Stopped working. As luck would have it, I have just changed my girlfriends 3rd Brake light on her Audi TT MK2. 1/2 HR job and picked up from AliExpress cheaply.

@Warguy-uw6pi unfortunately I don't know what that reference number means. I just know the part number which I used. The only way to know the camera isn't working is when the screen goes blank instead if giving you an image. The you know it's the cable. The camera rarely breaks. The license plate light bulb can be changed from outside the car. Just use a small flat head screw driver, insert it in the little slot on the lense and unclip it to reveal the bulb.

@@carfanfan Thanks tou very much !

@@leagodonaldmaila4853 It was gett8ng around 12 to 13 L / 100km.

Thanks so much. 🤗

Thanks so much for your kind words. 💙

Thanks. When it's done, I will send him a link so he can see everything that's done to the car and how I gave it a new lease on life ❤️

Gladbmy video helped Phil 😄

It works well. My searbacks are still in their place and haven't even moved. The car has been to the dealer and they moved the drivers seat several times with different people driving it and the seatbacks still stayed in their place. 😊

Thanks so much for the kind words. I am really happy with the results and at last have the old broken ashtray out the car. It was rattling a bit so now it's a quieter ride 😄

I would love tonhave another Jag. Maybe next car would be an XJ or an older X type or S Type. 😄

@@carfanfan A XJ X351 would fit perfectly to you 😉

Thanks so much. And thanks for being a loyal subscriber. You comment on every video and I appreciate that ❤️

I also wish I had a Jag, but then there would be no new content. 😂. But boy would i love to have an XF right now. More reliable 😊

My jag's available, there's years of videos in it, no end of problems. 😭

That's very low mileage and a good buy if it has full service history with agents. If the service history is questionable I would think twice. What engine has it got?

Full service from the agent .. 2.2 d .. one owner

Really enjoy your content.. very informative.. we need it in the South African market.. not many people do it ..

@@kevinnaidoo2875 Good buy. Go for ut. The 2.2 is very reliable and frugal on diesel. You will also love the power and low down torque. 👌👍

@kevinnaidoo2875 thanks my friend. ❤️

Thanks, mate. Yeah, it just looks better wrapped in gloss black. After I did the window surrounds, it looked aggressively awesome.

@@carfanfan yes I agree it does look fantastic

@@carfanfan just been watching you wrap the windows very nice 👌🏻

The clips on one of the seats came off and I used shoe glue to glue them on. Still holding strong. Just sand paper the back of the clips where you apply the glue to create a good bond and they won't come off. 😉

Lol thanks so much for the kind words 🤗

I made the mistake with my 1999 Audi B5 by dumping the 15" wheels for 17" BBS wheels. Looked great, but suffered from potholes and hard ride. I'm going to keep the wheels stock. It has a nice soft ride and those high profile tires will help shield the wheels from getting buckled on potholes 😄

Hey Nicholas, the 2.8 was s nice machine. Especially in A4 form. Smaller car, lighter and very nimble. It was a toss up between getting an A6 of that time, an A4 again or a 2001 A6 4.2 V8. I chose the more challenging one unfortunately. Not knowing Audi don't support them anymore. When I had my A4 until 2018 parts were readily available but this one I bought is now very scarce. You just don't see them on the roads anymore. Thanks for following my channel all these years. 🤗

@@carfanfan well, it’s definitely in excellent condition and very unique. They just didn’t sell that many Audi in that era as far as parts go especially the A6. That Audi generation was only around for a few years, they were just coming out of the unintended acceleration fiasco. The 2.8 L was a really good engine, it was quite underpowered, but I had the five-speed manual. It was more reliable than the 2.8 5v 200 hp V6 that came out in 1997. The only issue I had was the catalytic converter failed and then control arms, but this suspension on the A4 was different. I look forward to seeing what you do with it,

Thanks Chris. I would love to have another Jag but it wouldn't make for good content as I already did so many videos on those cars. They are solid cars and I still love them.

Morning Hilton well I am sure I will be asking you questions about the XFs in the future as I am still learning I am currently trying to master the sdd software getting there slowly enjoying your videos old and new ones take care feller

Thanks Andy. Unfortunately this one doesn't have OBDII, it has OBDI which is the first iteration of OBD so Audi should be able to pull codes, albeit very basic codes 😁

@@carfanfan Thanks Hilton, that's good to know. Good luck with the major service 🛠

Nope just a 2.6 A6 V6 registered in 96. All the sixes. 🤣

Let's hopenits something simple like thermostat or temp sensor 🤞

Mine are still on the seats after doing this and it definitely worked for me. Can't hurt to give it a try with the industrial strength velcro.

I rigged a main line into the center console lights. If you watch my video on the door sill lights, I show how I did this. You can also rig a main line up to your dome lights by identifying which wire supplies light to the switches. But you can use that premise for any buttons in the console getting light when you turn the headlights on.

Thanks a lot ! I have no lights in the center console, but if I understand the tips well, I just have to wire up to a light from the car (like the roof lights)

@EragonThenics nope, find a button in the car that lights up when you turn your headlights on. The buttons 9n the dome light usually light up when you turn your lights on, so they are a good source to use. Don't use the actual dome light, that wouldn't work. Any buttons on the dash that light up can be used to tap a wire into.

@@carfanfan ohhhhhh okey, I understood !

Connect the main box to your main wire inside the car. That's for your dash lights and footwell lights. The door lights need to be connected to a source inside the doors. Each door box communicates with the main box via wifi. So if your window switches light up or door lock buttons, you can find which wire is the one for the switch light and splice into that.

Yep, I've learned some hacks since then. I do it to all my cars and have fast retracting seatbelts

It was a 2008 Jaguar XF 3.0 petrol.

@@carfanfan I'm interested in buying one as a daily driver have you ever owned a XF or any jaguar that's made it over 200k miles? ​

@TheWiz2024 I haven't personally, but the X260 XF will easily go up to that mileage with minimal problems. As long as you maintain it properly. They like regular oil changes. Most parts were Ford so they are solid cars.

@@carfanfan thank you for the advice I'm really looking forward to buying one of these

I think the levers are to release the seats. Mine had levers on the seat backs, but not sure if they changed this.

Thanks. The seats have their own release levers. I'll ask the dealer at my first "free" oil change.

🤣 thank you dear Wade.

It is in the hvac in the dash. Not easy to get to. If you look under the footwell into the center of the dash you could probably see it but getting it put means dash removal.

Bliss indeed. It's quite annoying isn't it. You will now see your Jaaaag in a whole new light 😜

Watch my later video I did on my white XFR. There I show how to remove the entire bumper as well as the chrome trim. I wrapped mine in gloss black. But painting them is probably a better solution.

One of the wires in your trunk loom is probably broken. This happens as they age from opening and closing over time. Instead of replacing the loom, which I would rather do, is removing the loom and prying the rubber cover back to race where the wire broke. It won't be long before you spot the culprit. But repairing it will just lead to the other wires snapping over time and eventually license plate lights and rear camera will also stop working. It's best to replace the loom.

Thank you 🤗

I don't think any vehicles are built well these days. They're built to be thrown away like phones but cost as much as a house.
