This channel is to document the work on my cars and some of the time spent in them. I am not a mechanic and do not have any formal training. Just having a go and trying to save a load of old bangers.

In this video I take apart my Ford Connect Visteon 2T1U-CF alternator. I have never done this before so I am blindly taking things off hoping that I can rebuild it. It seems that most of these Alternators are just replaced when they fail (probably for a good reason lol). I couldnt find much about this model of Alternator on RUclips. So even if I mess this up maybe someone can get some benifit f...

Man, many thanks for this useful video. Refurbishment of this type awaits me in a short time. The thing I miss the most is putting the slip rings on, especially how are those leads connected. I did not get how they are connected to each individual slip ring. Are they soldered or pressed somehow?
@@ivanciglan1266 Hello! The slip rings are pushed on over the wire, the wire is then soldered onto the top of the slip ring. There is a slight recess on the top of the ring. Be very careful they are quite fragile!
@@jbclassics Thanks for the update. This is gonna help 👍 Btw. since 7:15 I was quite convinced you will crack that plastic bearing housing by blowing the rotor shaft with the hammer. 😬 Looked to me like you hadn't rammed the bearing enough down the shaft.
@@ivanciglan1266 I suppose it was a bit of an agricultural attempt at best lol. I do not own a press and if I was to do it again would not attempt a full rebuild without one. In fact in hindsight with this particular alternator I wouldn't want to replace much more than brushes and voltage regulator. I think in the end I was lucky that it worked really.
Beautiful just BEAUTIFUL! I want me a XK or even a XKR in that same color but not that many to be had here in South Florida!
@@WHOMEWHOYOU Thank-you it's difficult to contain my excitement with this car. I'm not sure about the XK-R don't know how manageable 500bhp to the back wheels would be, even this one sometimes taking off in the wet causes the back wheels to spin if your not careful. Really good fun though😅. Hope you realise your dream and get one they are a fabulous car. Happy Christmas and thanks for commenting
Great video thanks it will help me do my own now 👍
Have a look under an Audi A4 4x4 for stupid plastic covers that hold muck and rust. No manufacturers build cars to last. The only way to preserve chassis and bodywork is old engine oil and waxoyl mixed in equal parts and sprayed on twice a year, before and after winter. I have an XJ8 sat outside that was parked up for two years after the owner died, where did his widow park the big Jag? Next to a big pile of horse muck at a stable yard where she kept her wretched horses. So I gave her son £500 for it, its very tidy inside, two owners from new, started first time immediately I put a new battery on it. I only have bodywork and new coil packs to sort on it and then an MOT and happy days, cheap Jaguar thats great to ride in. I have had two modern S Types, both V6. One was a 1999 and the other a 2003, the latter was a 3.0L V6 and was brilliant so I kept it seven years before buying a BMW engined 2006 Range Rover. I should have bought a petrol V8. Keep up the good work!
You are so right about the rust protection. It needs to be applied and then maintained regularly. I think I have started to work on this car just in time! Hopefully it will be okay under the sill covers when I get them off. Thanks for taking the time to comment and good luck with your Jag
Good luck with the Jag!!
I think I am going to need all the luck I can get😂 Thanks for the comment.
@@jbclassics I doesn't loook that bad a car. Tomorrow (Nov 5th 2024) I have a VW in my unit for a welding repair to the back axle where the shock absorber mount has ROTTED through. I have also done structural body repairs to AUDI and Toyota cars this years too. People slag off 20yr old Jags, they a better than foreign premium brands! What people forget is, MAINTENANCE. It is only natural for stuff to rot if its not kept clean and oiled up before and after winter.
Thanks for commenting and you are so right, it is all about maintenance. I just expected there to be a bit more than a thin coat of paint on the inner wings. Good luck with your VW
nice job. hope to see more.
Hello and thanks for taking time to comment. There are plenty of jobs to be done on this car.
Love the homely folksy style . Relatable to us fumbly diyers. Great stuff Mr Avago
@@robandchristheateam5053 Thanks for the great comment. I'm just doing my best lol
have you had any issues with the cabin heater thinking could be the heater control valve its in and around the inner drivers side wheel arch
The goal is just to remove the rusty wing at the moment. I haven't found any other mechanical issues with vehicle yet. Other than the brake discs need replacing. That will be the subject of another video.... Thanks for commenting....
great to find ya channel i have a gold s type too 2007 done 73000 doing some rust rep[airs too
@@jonny5682 That's good to know! What repairs are you doing? I am removing both front wings and the bumper my intention is to deal with any rust I find and protect the bodywork from further corrosion.
@@jbclassics mines had 2 grand on it just before i got it has new sills n it really solid underneath mines more bubbering on arches under the paint my prob is only blows cold air or ac the have a climate control valves that stick even open or closed its under that water bottle in the drivers side has 4 coolant pipes going to it thanks for replying
hi good video it is very easy if removed all front bumper many s type I changed front wing headlight firstly best option remove the bumper save all plastic brackets otherwise jaguar made absolutely plastic easy to brakes and harder to get.
@@seelan191919 Hello and thankyou for your kind words. I am in process of removing front bumper and have ordered new stainless steel fixings. Jaguar did not make it easy to work on their vehicles. It is like peeling back an onion lol
I left my 306 Hdi in one place for 2 years because of the covid shite. In that time the engine seized and it went to the knackers yard
@@mw01908 Oh dear that was bad luck sorry to hear that.
Good old XUD Engines!!
@@Workshop8191 Yes they really were one of the best engines around at the time.
Yes thank-you for taking time to remind me. I appreciate your comment. I have now removed it.
You have to put out the red transportsecurity plugs.
All done next to your wife's washing on the line, nothing like living dangerously.
@@stottybox3185 I have a very tolerant wife 🤣😅 Thanks for the comment
Loving the resto vids on the moggie so far. Keep it up. I have a 1966 2 Dr 1000 myself. She is running and driving well - used as a second car but I am always fettling and improving bits as I go along so I am following this with interest. You did well to only hit your head once on the bonnet! An extendable bonnet stay is available and is on on my wish list!.
@@life952 Thankyou for your comment. I certainly have a lot to do on this car! The goal at the moment is to just get it roadworthy. Good luck with your car and I am definitely considering an extendible bonnet stay lol..
Nice project car. Will be interested to follow the progress. Does it need any welding done underneath?
@@life952Thanks for the comment. It has had quite a bit of welding done already, by the previous owner. The only welding issues I can find at the moment is on the front cross member and on the bottom of the rear quarter panel. Nothing to serious. Just waiting for a few parts to arrive then will be doing a few more video's...
looking forward to seeing more on this lovely little car 👍👍
@@DSMODELS Thank-you for commenting. I am just waiting for the new radiator and hoses to be delivered. I am currently working on cleaning engine bay so will be posting more soon.
