WHAT WENT WRONG WITH MY REBUILT JAGUAR XTYPE AND WHAT IT COST ME
Просмотров 9 тыс.4 месяца назад
Welcome to JohnnGetsCash2 - The second channel to my main channel - JohnnyGetsCash. Here you will see a lot more behind the scenes, day-to-day activity and a lot more of the up close, in detail work and facts / figures that don't make it onto the main channel. If that sounds goof to you, make sure to subscribe! In this video i will be going into detail on the story of the Jaguar X-type that i r...
great vid i feel same about my s type great car just got her had 2 n half spent on it before i got it had some work done main prob got no heating ac works great lol
the red JAG CHOSEN u as a driver. its like that car have a sense of good or bad owner :D
P132B error code indicates wastegate.
High quality Mini Chili Red,2C (851,U851) paint is available in a range of finishes including Premium 2K Acrylic - Dalcoat, Premium Solvent Basecoat - Dalcoat, Waterbase
A solid suggestion!
Fair play for being honest etc. Haven't you got a code reader to check yourself?
I have, however in this case the Jaguar was away with the new owners so I couldn’t physically get my hands on the car to check!
What about Night fire red? An original Rover colour but a lovely shade.
It happened to my 2..0d, it just went into limp mode. I bought an exchange actuator £110 , probably the easiest thing to change as its right at the top of the engine.
Dark cherry bomb with a silver metallic roof + mirrors with mat black wheel arches and wheels just regular alloy silver. White on just red will look period correct but too outdated in my opinion.
Maybe go for a cool dark metallic red color with a beige or elephant tusk color for the roof and wheel arches? Just think about it a little, you don't actually have to go for that color combo :)
My dad had a 2017 Dodge Ram in a really nice deep metallic Red (I think it was called 'Delmonico Red') and i did think that would be a cool colour for the exterior with a tan interior - so sort of along the lines of what you're saying! Lots of choice at this stage!
@@JohnnyGetsCash2 Just go for it man, don't think ;)
The Mini Door Company based in Preston are the company to check out. Unless you fancy doing the reskins yourself. Plenty of skins and door bottom parts readily available. I’ve got a Mini Thirty, in cherry red (a lovely shade of metallic red COG is the paint code) which has 13” x 7” deep dish wheels gold with polished rims. Not to everyone’s taste if they want originality but as it’s mine I get to choose how it sits.
Thanks for the info! Now that you mention it, i think the code for the paint originally on this car was 'COG' and it had the mini 30 style wheels too, although it was not a mini 30 by designation...weird! Personally i really like Gold wheels especially on a deep metallic Red car. Its that kind of different but still cool angle that i need to put on this car i think!
I have had good results with Hagmans 2k epoxy primer. Dont know if you get it in the UK. Good videos you make!!
Thanks very much! Ill have a look at Hagmans 2k EP. i'm sure ill be able to source some here👍
I'd suggest Dubonnet Rosso for the red. You can find a lovely restored DB5 in that colour easily with a quick search, and I think it would look lovely on the Mini. Cream roof and interior to complement it. Definitely no carbon fibre.
It seems like deep Red with tan / cream is a popular choice...certainly food for thought! Thank you
I enjoy that dark cherry bomb but bright deep red. It looks almost caramel cherry Works well with most all other trim and interior color.
I did wonder if i could do a variation on the original colour with a Silver base and deep candy Red over the top, but then again, maybe that'd be overkill!
@@JohnnyGetsCash2 Its never over kill if its what you like and enjoy.
No carbon!!!
I think theres definitely a time and place for it, but certainly full carbon doors might look a bit daft on a car of the spec i'm going for...not to mention the incredible cost of them!
Hi Johnny, thanks for the latest catch up on the mini project & I do hope that at some stage you will be able to finish it. I did do a message with a website link for the door re-skinning but it has disappeared. I will put the name again at the end. Like the idea of Porsche Guards Red. Maybe a carbon fibre effect for the roof?? Not too sure if that will suit what you want though. J G Welding is the place I'm sure you will find it (Devon based I think), if not let me know an email address for you & I'll send a proper link that way as I hope I don't have to write this a 3rd time. Cheers & all the best 👍🏻
Thanks Andy, ill certainly check them out and see what the situation is with doors / door exchange. Appreciate you taking the time - thanks👍
@@JohnnyGetsCash2 no problem, enjoy both your channels mate & even if you don't use the company I found, it's good to be able to give you a suggestion. Someone else put some info for another company, so I hope that between the 2 you have some options going forward 👍🏻
Hi mate , looking forward to seeing your next video
Well you are gonna have to get on with it now Johnny Think the original colour was Robert Nightfire red
Look forward to this, when it happens, of course 😄
Ill do my best to make sure it doesn't flounder any longer than absolutely necessary!
Selling heroin dont give these probs bruv!
Great work and great customer service. I would have every ounce of confidence in buying a car from you. I think what that Jag needs is someone with some mechanical knowledge who knows that it may throw up some issues at that age and not be bothered about fixing it. The right buyer is out there ✊🏻
Thank you! Ive got an exciting update on the Jag coming very soon!
Had a 2006 2.2d Sovereign Estate - 193k miles on the original gearbox, injectors and clutch. Beautiful inside and out (although did need to get rusted cills welded). Once got 75mpg on a run, and it could shift. Had to get rid off it when I broke my leg and needed an auto. But I prefer it to my newer E350d convertible - it was far better made and comfortable. Well done for restoring what would have be a future classic if not the fashion against diesels. And no - it isn't a Mondeo in drag just because they share the same chassis platform.
That sounds amazing! I think the X-type catches some flack generally, but from what ive seen thats often from those who haven't had the pleasure of owning or even driving one! Im really impressed with this one and how its behaved in my custodianship.
Last night I met a bloke in a pub and he has just bought this car...he's very excited to get it. You are a decent bloke Johnny, the world needs more people like you in it, best of luck to you.
That’s awesome! He seems like a great guy and I’m looking forward to getting the Jag to him! Thanks for your kind words, and thanks for watching!
It's amazing how modern cars can throw up faults and codes which are nothing to do with the problem. I had an Audi A6 which was flashing the glow plug light and the cruise control wouldn't work. Turned out to be a faulty brake light switch would you believe! The brake lights still worked which threw me, but there are 2 contacts in there, one for the brake lights and the other for the cruise control and other stuff. That contact had broken. Local motor factor had one in stock, £12, same as a VW Golf I believe. Problem solved! No surprise that a faulty turbo actuator could show as a gearbox fault.
I can fully believe that! It’s such a strange scenario having to fault find like this, but as you say…that’s modern cars for you!
When you opened the old actuator, did parts of the damaged worm gear drop out? If not….a bit suss perhaps?
There were a few bits floating about in there. I’m confident that the actuator hasn’t been apart before as it was definitely factory sealed before I split it
Didn't know they built them as wagons never seen one in Australia
Yeh they’re pretty spacious too…the perfect temporary parts collection vehicle!!
Great video, once again you have gone above and beyond, what most Dealers will do to help customers who buy older, price range cars. I sometimes think that although these peple "know their rights" maybe they would be better off buying a brand new car on a leasing agreement, instead of a 17 year old quality car, then if they had any complaints, they would be covered by the makers warranty. Not that leasing a cheap car would make very interesting RUclips content, however you are a shining light in the car industry, a very moral man, keep up the good work. By the way I love your second channel, it shows just how tough the car trade can be at times. Motors must be in your DNA.
All very good points, thank you. As I see it, the trouble is that the modern world and its plethora of red tape, guidelines and buyer protection , whereas there is a time and a place for them, have created a generation of buyers who lack much of the common sense people used to once have. To them, buying a 17 year old 80k plus mileage car holds absolutely no risk, in fact they have virtually the same rights as someone buying a brand new car and we as dealers simply have to follow that rhetoric and bridge the gap! Who said dealing was easy, hey?!
Brilliant video,and fault finding,you deserve to go far , genuine chap, very rare these days look forward to seeing your next video.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the video / saga!
I bought the Ford version, 2.0 TdcI for £250. Only lasted me 6 years so far but I don't have Jag badge to impress the neighbours. Hey ho.
Those in the know will hold the same respect for the Old Ford, don’t worry!
scrap it
It’s worth doing the Revive cleaning anyway. Helps with a lot of other bits too 👌
I do generally give older turbo diesel’s a good blast of Revive treatment if they feel a little underwhelming!
As a former motor trader letting a car 'one' sold go to another garage is a disaster, I've done it and it's a big mistake. I've also had several X types diesels, still have a 2.2 diesel and and had similar issue power loss/EML , started using decent fuel, problem solved so I put it down to the fact the previous owner probably used crap fuel. I think you have been more than fair in your approach.
Thank you, I think that most of us who are / were in the trade will see this saga as an all too familiar tale, but the fact remains that we can only do our best to be fair and proper with our customers!
Being that the actuator was 55$ brand new, the new owner could have just replace it himself and kept a really good car. You go through so much trouble for all these people you don't know. I wish a was your neighbor ;)
He certainly could’ve done but I think the damning report from the cowboys at that garage who scanned the car scared him beyond that point!
Love the honesty!
That's another driving factor behind this second channel. I feel that there is a lack of transparency in many automotive RUclips channels' content so i really wanted to be the opposite and give the full picture on what i do!
Great video as always johny,shame you got it back after all that work.u tried your best with what you had at the time.gladcyou sorted it out in the end 👍👍👍ps loving the 2nd channel
Thank you. These things happen though and i'm sure the Jag will be off to a new home soon enough!
What a shame that you had such an issue - especially on such a nice car. A good idea to go the extra mile with the work you intend doing. As an extra precaution, you might feel that it is worth clearing the DPF if it hasn't been done.
Hi Johnny Yes you did the right thing I think! it's always good to know when you buy a car from someone like yourself, that if there is a problem you'll do the decent thing. I have a X type saloon with about 75 K on the clock. this old girl would benefit from new injectors you just need to keep them running as clean as poss etc, some people drill out the manifold and tap an M10 thread to pour stuff in the turbo I would prefer to use something like Launch DPF cleaner but not to much this will work well on carbon, but if the vaynes are free it's probably just the actuator. We are liking the second channel. Best of luck with this one! ❤The Channel👍
Thanks very much! Luckily for me the arm was very free, however if it had of been notchy or stiff then cleaning the turbo by means of drill / tap / inject / bolt would have been the next logical step!
Fair play mate you’re a credit to the your profession! Making sure it’s all good for the next owner is incredible service. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks very much. Unfortunately this business doesn't have a great reputation so i've always been very keen to do the best i can for my buyers and try to flip the stereotype a bit!
I've got the same car. Got the same issue, goes into limp mode, gearbox fault occasionally, engine light lit, but rarely goes into limp mode.. Been scanned, told EGR valve issue.....saving up to get it replaced! Done 102000miles, drives lovely. Great channels 😊
Thats interesting. Have you tried disconnecting the turbo actuator arm and checking for free movement?
I think this also serves as a good wake up call to people who may think flipping cars is easy business. Even when you think you've done everything right and have total confidence in your work, cars can be cars and still fail. Glad you gave the buyer a refund and took it on the chin as it helps your reputation as a used car salesman in the long run. There aren't many good ones out there, so continue to make sure you're one of the good ones lol
Totaly agree
Thanks very much. This business is certainly anything but easy, although those of us that are mad enough to do it will probably all agree that we wouldn't want to do anything else!
It happens mate , what’s important is how you deal with it, and you have been so Fair and honest with this so well done to you. Thanks for the very interesting update. 👊🏻
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
£145 to scan a car is daylight robbery! Glad you got it sorted, I'm sure it will sell again no problem
Agreed. Any investigation/ scanning fee should be taken off the repair bill, I also think if the garage then refuse to do the repair then they shouldn't charge for the investigation either. It should only be payable if the customer refuses to go ahead with the repair.
Crazy amount not even main dealer charge that much 😂😂
It was an absolute liberty i think! If it had have been me who booked it in / took the car there as opposed to the new owner, I don't think for a minute the garage would have pulled such a scam. Unfortunately the new owner booked it and took it in / paid no questions asked so that left me in a position where I either saw them out of pocket or added that cost to the refund amount, which is what I ultimately did. The garage in question were no doubt a bunch of chancers but I couldn't let that hit my buyers in the pocket so had to take it on the chin!
I wish more car dealers were like yourself, you certainly did go above and beyond for the buyer and if that was me it would certainly give me confidence to have kept the car or buy from you in the future. Things like this are always going to happen as at the end of the day its an older car, but as you've shown its how you deal with it that matters and certainly how i rate companies and whether id deal with them again.
Thanks very much. These situations aren't ideal but it certainly helps to hear that you guys can recognise that i'm trying to do the best by everyone in question!
Superb video (plus other channel vids) & so relevant having recently inherited a near identical ‘08 2.2 diesel estate in matching chilli red! Managed to save ours from being sold for scrap with the infamous gearbox warning, thanks to a local specialist pointing towards the turbo actuator needing a good greasing. Now I’m left to decide whether to repair or replace a couple body panels without over spending…
That does sound like a very similar car! Once they’re sorted, they’re fine cars to use so I’d be tempted to smarter yours up and enjoy it!
That story had me gripped! haha. Good idea with the second channel and keep up the good work. You'll be the next Mat Armstrong in no time! 👍🏻 P.s. Tell Sam I said hi!
Thanks. Hopefully this one will be away to a new home before long!
shame you put all that effort in for it to come back to you,joys of modern motors,allways seem to have some ailment built into them nowadays!
It is a bit disheartening sometimes but all we can do is be as thorough as possible and make sure things are as good as can be and then should they let us down, go back to the drawing board and try again!
@@JohnnyGetsCash2 at least you did your best for the new owner,gearbox bloke didn’t help really,must dress up like Dick Turpin😂
Funny how when any other shop wants to make money you fell into that perfect spot for them to cheat you. Sucks that the shop charge you that just for plugging in a obd2 which shouldn't have been over 25 bucks since they didn't want to actually do any work. Sometimes that is how it goes but like always I say remember those who screw you and enjoy the money they will no longer make that you will give to another shop for being right.
I imagine if it were me who booked the car in / took it to them they wouldn’t have been such cowboys…unfortunately the new owner booked and took it in (non-trade) and I think the garage saw an opportunity to rip them off. Sadly they paid the bill no questions asked so it was down to me to reimburse the customer when I gave the refund on the car. Incredibly frustrating but I didn’t want the new owners to be out of pocket so I swallowed it.
Could just be driving style isn’t the same as yours so you can’t replicate the fault… has a similar thing with an Audi allroad ended up going for a drive with the owner and realised they drove it hard and downshifted allot at high revs
A very valid point. I think as someone in the trade, I tend to drive with a lot of mechanical sympathy so this could potentially be why the car didn’t cause a fuss for me. That said since I’ve been using the car post actuator fit, I have been driving in a mixed manner to test everything (including harder driving), so I’m pretty confident the issue has been resolved!
Dayum! The original nightmare scenario, a "fault" that won't show itself! Sounds like you are on top of it now though and looking at that worm gear, the actuator needed sorting even if it wasn't the cause of the fault. Situations like this where the fault will only reveal itself to the customer and nobody else, do make me mildly sceptical if I'm honest, but perhaps life has jaded me a little. Fingers crossed dude.
These things are sent to try us!
What make do you go for for work boots?
For the boots that I wear for the real heavy graft, I swear by Dewalt boots (specifically nitrogen dealer boots) 👍
Yeah that's what I was after, cheers mate. Good luck with the new channel & xtype. 👍
Very good video. You’re such a good mechanic and person. I love how you treat cars. Shame I don’t live in UK anymore so I can buy one of you or bring you one for a proper treatment like you do. Keep it up Sir 👌🏼 Greetings from Poznań, Poland🇵🇱
Thank you very much, that’s really great feedback to receive!
