Jaguar XKR-S Review

The Jaguar XKR-S attends two car meets in one weekend! After a maintenance detail and a new x section on the centre exhaust, the Jag is sounding awesome and looking great! I take her down to two distinct car meets; One a small local enthusiasts group, and the next day a large annual classic car festival at a stately Hall in Helmingham. Everything from TVR's, Caterhams and Noble's to Ferraris, M...
Jaguar XKR-S Ownership Cost - 1 Year Service
Просмотров 9 тыс.3 года назад
A few technical glitches with this video - but an insight into ownership cost of the Jaguar XKR and XKR-S. How much does a one year service cost and how much have I spent on the car after 13 months of ownership? Always trying to improve the picture and sound quality so standby for improvements with that! Is the 5.0L supercharged beast expensive to own and run? Unfortunately I do not recommend t...

Second of two films exploring whether the XKR-S is easy to live with. Join me next time where I review the CLK55 AMG (I say SL55 mistakenly as I have an SL500 coming up after that :') )!

Reliability has been super with no mechanical issues to report....

First of two films exploring whether the XKR-S is easy to live with. So the Sainsbury's van turned out to be a friend who had stopped to say hello when he recognised the car... The paint has been good- easy enough to work with for paint correction (I mistakenly say protection in the video) but also resistant to stone chips. Very comfortable with superb RS seats and a fab sound system. Exhaust i...

Happy new year for 2021. Due to not being able to get out for drives and meets, I decided to spend some time doing some jobs which I'd not got round too. Not a detailed guide or perfectly edited video but I swap out the factory Pirelli PZero's for some fresh Mitchellin Pilot sport 4 S's. New rear 276mm Pagid discs and Mintex Pads. For the XKR-S and later XKR's, the front brake rotors are 380mm ...

that Tuscan looks immense in that colour. the design gets better with every passing year. it was leap years ahead of it's time in styling, in and out.
Yours is the perfect spec, am seeking just the same to bring home to Australia to be the stablemate of my Brg chimaera that I’ve had for for over twenty years… let me know if you guys see a goodun Great review , enjoy everyone
Already over 1 minute in and not mentioned anything about the astra but talking about other cars... 🤔
You put your ⌚ on the wrong wrist 😂 😂
As with all classics buy the very best you can afford. Look out for A-Pillar rot in the footwells. water pump and timing chains tensioners failing. If its a Nikosil engine check compression. And the gearboxes on the non XJR's can fail. Other than that a delight to own.
Better than my v8
XJ8 a beautiful vehicle, Refined and a look that has not aged to this date.
3rd gear and its goodnight 🚀
Only thing I'd do is get it wrapped in black 😮❤, or a nice primer grey wrap 😅
Absolutely amazing engines in these amazingly AWESOME cars 😮❤ straight 6 or v8 they're both awesome built motors with trick valves and pistons 😮 real race track geek stuff 👍
Bad Audio…traffic & background noice dominate…please buy yourself a pro clip-on microphone
I was thinking an 1 lite focus eco or astra gtc 1.4 , 8k budget , what do you rec ?
I have owned both of those cars you are considering and I would take the GTC every day, much better car IMO.
Interesting video. The X308 cars are great. Like that you use the J-gate. My X308 has done 236k. Constant maintenance is the key to these cars. I believe that your car is actually SWB.
Celtic Alloys are 17"!
Beautiful colour. ❤❤
I had an X reg / 2000yr Sovereign model, 4.0L same colour as the one in the video. Sold to me looking immaculate, within six monthths rust bubbles showing through the rear arches, broke my heart. A later MOT revealed serious rot on the drivers floor, paid for welding but the garage advised I get rid as loads more rot was there that would be an advisory for now but future major MOT repair. Mechanically very reliable and fuel consumption not bad for a V8 if driven gently. I would be very wary about buying another but the nicest car ive ever driven
I absolutely love the xkrs, are these good as daily drivers though?
Trans tune…. Best car I’ve ever owned…. And I beat the hell out of it every day I owned it for 6 years, wouldn’t have gotten rid of it but I needed 4wd.
How do you tune the trans?
@@aaronthewhiz3160 Same way you would get a normal tune done…. You can order a tune as well, most high-end German performance companies offer it alone or as part of a complete tune package.
Didn't you needed it a special scanner tool or something to go a brake job on this car?
Great video 👍🏻 Those driving views along with that V8 soundtrack, through the headphones .... quality 😎

I love every aspect of my Tusacan. I heavily doubt I will ever let it go 🥰
Dope car. Gone up in value since this video.
I don’t think you’ll ever see this but what do you think about the focus rs?
Fantastic car ❤❤
Great video! I’m getting the ASTRA GTC 1.7L eco 💪🏾
better make a nest in back seat for you mechanic
All Jaguar need to do is release an updated head unit which can be retrofitted into these and older Jaguars which has apple car play and android auto, and this car would be up to date with todays standards of car tech.
Awsome car man! Keep enjoying! 😎
Did you have to reset the electronic handbrake at all? I gather there's something you need to do to tell the car there's fresh pads???
Nope. As long as you release the calipers with the red chord and place it into the service mode, it will adjust automatically, as it would do as the pads wear down over the life of the pads. Hope that helps 👍
Most awesome British sports car ever.
Are you selling ???
I foolishly scrapped my ST24 about 10 years ago due to some rot on the rear arches, at the time I convinced myself I couldn't afford the work done even though it wasn't that bad. I still have dreams about it to this day, then wake up absolutely gutted! :(
To be honest my standard xk is superb and does everything perfectly...sure a few more ponies would be great but the dna of these jags is spot on..great video!
How has reliability been. Thinking of getting 2010 xk but coming from BMWs a bit scared of maintenance
Great video. Currently working through the catalogue!
Thanks Simon. Much appreciated 🫡
Great video. I'm in the market for one, but concerned about the early morning startup volume! More thought required.
I’m sorry for the multiple messages messages. I’m just trying to get a hold of somebody because I know this video is very old. I went ahead and made the creator a video so he could check out the interior of my car if you could get back to me man I’d love to show you more buzz me through my email.
I own one. Even though Roxane is old she still puts street cars to sleep. Fun fact. Only 1200 2001 55 class were made. 1300 2002 clks were made. Total is 2500. If im off please correct me. “Cabiriet”?
Nice example young man. I have a sapphire blue, 3.2L on a 2001 plate that l bought for £500. It needs a bit of bodywork but nothing else. Its my second X308 Jaguar, they are brilliant cars.
6:04 yeah, a 2 ton car is always reminding me of a go kart.. absolutely accurate. Mate, just do the homework, rather than spewing out random "facts".
Bro. Whats the point.? Its heavy😂
@@SB37222 don't be silly, it's about 1600kg, fully kitted. which is not a marginal difference to "over 2000kg".
@@mistreku correct that’s why it’s so fast my guy. I mean if we’re really making a difference over 400 pounds it’s not much am I understanding that correctly
@@SB37222 I don't think it's pounds, good sir, I think it's KG, which would translate to (roughly) 900lbs, so a quite substantial difference.
@@mistreku well, forgive me. Still 900 pounds that’s like my big friend sitting in the front seat with a couple of girls in the back. It’s not that significant trust me. I own and drive this car every day. It’s one of the fastest lightweight Mercedes could ever drive even if it was the heaviest the aerodynamics in the way it was built makes it float like a butterfly.
Just bought a 1.6 gtc turbo
How much would the insurance gonna be for this car ima new driver 21yo
Have you been running quotes?
@@ReaperSouI no i been running the car without the license i asked for a reason
its affordable for me even the top range 1.6 turbo 200ps i am 20 however i have 2 years no claims
Hii to all I own a astra j gtc for 7 years now it's from 2013 it's a 1,4 140 hp great car only trouble i got was the air flow meter 😊
Hello can you tell me where I would find Fuse 19 please
I am thinking on buying this or the 1.4 Turbo with 140hp. Any recommendations between the two? Is the 40hp difference very noticeable? Thanks!
Hi there mate, what alloys are they? I love the look of them and the colour is perfect with the red calipers
pops!!
Nice video just came across this. I'm the lucky owner of a C208 CLK 55 AMG and have it now for more than 12 years. It's been an absolute pleasure driving it and utterly reliable. The manual shifting or rather manually restricting up shift is adaptive. The automatic transmission in the AMG versions have Speed shift and adaption to the driver. It'll adjust in time to the way you drive. You'll be able to find details on how to reset the adaptation on RUclips. Reset the Shift computer will alter the shift response. I think these CLK's are very much under the radar but are a rare kind of coupé. You can cruise or drive like its stolen. The joy of driving, near bulletproof engine and gearbox, reliability and low maintenance cost offset the lurking rust monster at work. That's about the only gremlin, the rust issue.
Thanks for the comment! An important not about rust for potential buyers. I enjoyed driving the car a lot!
Oof. Ill have to disagree on the LOW COST 😂. Totally not true. Sorry man. No dis. Im 11k in with only putting 30 k miles. Bought the car for 4010. Cluster was fried. Sent it out. Hoses and seals followed and the starter and alt, along with broken knobs, slipping tranny, not to mention GAS in this thing😂😂. The Gas tank leaks. Paint is peeling. Lifters are clicking. But shes my baby!!!! Sexy B. Clean. Safe. Always fast. Puts street cars to zzzzz. Im restoring her. Little by little. About 20k to go. Just wanted to chime in. (Yes i have a rust hole in the passanger floor board😂😂😂😂😂). Also. The plastic melts in the center. Florida😂😂😂. Did i mention windshield washer mec. And foglights? Oh wait not the interior peeling…..😂😂😂😂 I think i still have the owners book in the BROkEN glove box😂 Im curious about the shifting. Had a flush done. Now its a hard shift to drive. Ive always counted 4 shits before 70 mph. Correct?
How difficult and time consuming is it to unbolt that hood? Is there a special tool? I find it hard to believe the weight savings were worth the inconvenience. The car looks great though and I would consider buying one.
It's just 4x 10mm bolts. You need some space to take it off, but can be done by one person. Certainly a querk!
I love my XKRS and it’s V8 soundtrack. Turns everyone’s head when they see and hear it coming. But one thing I don’t like about it…is when it rains. I’ll say no more 😂
