Derek, glad you found where they went. Good luck with your repairs. Once fitted, you should find the door closes with less window rattle, regards Damian

John, on my car the new tensioner fitted OK. There was extra thread in the housing for the longer length of thread on the new tensioner. However, the extra thread portion was more difficult for the new tensioner to engage as it was full of old oil residue. Some people have advise using a tap to clear the thread before fitting the new tensioner. Hope that helps, regards Damian

Carmine, you are probably right these aren't physically the last 30 cars made. The final X100 built wasn't a Stratstone and is owned by Jaguar Heritage. UK Reg Mark: XK05JAG, Chassis Number: SAJAC41R363A48684. Link at the bottom for more details. The Stratstone cars are more likely to be part of last batch of cars which remained unsold. Sorry, I don't know the VIN numbers of all the 30 cars. Jaguar Heritage can verify if you car is a Stratstone for a fee. Hope that helps, regards Damian www.jaguarheritage.com/vehicle-collection/2005-jaguar-xkr-supercharged-coupe-last-xk8-x100-built/

Carmine, I agree the XK8 is a beautiful car, regards Damian

Carmine, sorry I do not know the owner. The vin number photos where picked from the internet as examples, regards Damian

@echointheroom9451, a simple if not obvious solution to the problem. Another XK8 oddity, regards Damian

@docimma, 2007 XK is the X150 version. Sorry we don’t have that model so haven’t done any videos for that XK. There is however a pdf version of the workshop manual for that car available for free on our website. www.modurol.co.uk . Link at the bottom. That might cover the antenna replacement. Hope that helps, regards Damian drive.google.com/file/d/1IjKxmSDxsJEHTQDWh73z3AatT761Xnhm/view?usp=drive_web

@@ODRModurol thank you so much! Btw We also have a 1965 vw beetle w very low miles. Sold the engine (people begged for it!) and now converting it to electric.

Mark, no problem, happy sharing this information help you save some money on repairs, regards Damian

@dumbdemolition1012, nothing is impossible but I would consider access and safety. You need quite a lot of clearance to slide the transmission in and out from under the car. Also need to get enough access under the car to reach all the bolts etc. This means very high jack stands or jacking the car up locally. It can be done but need to very careful you don't get caught under the car. Hope that helps, regards Damian

Rembert, thank you for your message. Sorry but you didn't explain why you weren't charging the battery directly from the luggage compartment, regards Damian

Paul, thank you for the feedback PB weld is probably a better bet than superglue. Glad it worked for you, regards Damian

@kamilR1983, to prawda, zgadzam się z tobą, pozdrawiam Damian

Luis, sorry we haven't got a cabriolet so I don't have a video of that, neither can we find one on-line to help you. The only thing we can help with is the instructions from the Jaguar repair manual (www.modurol.co.uk), see page 2365 of 3265. See link below to find the one of the manuals. Hope that helps, regards Damian drive.google.com/file/d/1GntT7rcbbW_6nwE45EUw8RhtKaY3kW3U/view

@@ODRModurol Thank you so much for the help and the link to the repair manual! Hopefully I'll get it sorted with this, cheers.

Luis, no problem. You might need to jump around the various procedures within the manual but it should all be there. Good luck, regards Damian

Jason, Thank you, hope you found it useful, regards Damian

Mark, thank you for your feedback, much appreciated. You have both ends of the cars development. The only openly available information about number is that there where approximately 3,395 Final Edition made vin A45289 to A48684. See vin number guide (link at bottom). There was quite a lot of options for these final editions, including body, engines, interior and exterior colours. So there is a lot of potential for unique specification cars. Exterior black is quite a popular colour but not sure about triple black. They only way of know for sure is to ask Jaguar Heritage how hold the build records but they will charge for the information. Hope that helps, regards Damian drive.google.com/file/d/1bJkUhJKxHxiDK4VH3yB877ivadhQjHj4/view

John, good luck with the viewing. Hope it works out for you, regards Damian

@@ODRModurol Thank you Damian , due to your info I have been able to find out that the replacement engine is a 1996 . Sounds nice and smooth but so far I have not been able to persuade the owner to open it up to see the tensioners. Best ,,,, John.

John, sounds unusual to put an older engine in the car. Something you would do if you were trying to save money? Changing the tensioner doesn’t save money. Sounds like a project car and hopefully it’s priced that way, regards Damian

@amroadshow, hope it helps you find the right car, regards Damian

@tainchains, the cams and crank are both locked in position when you fit the new chains. Its unlikely to have been fitted incorrectly. Might be something else. Compression loss could be due to bore wear of the nikasil coating (if yours is the early engine AJ26). sorry you don't seem to be having any joy with your engine, regards Damian

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply Damian. I think that you might be right about the bore wear. I hope that you are not. The guy who did the timing said it could be the fuel filter is clogged, and needs to be replaced. But the noise sounds similar to bore wear noise whe I check yourube videos on it. Wild a compression test help me determine if its bore wear or not?

@goose4150, agreed not the prettiest little roadster invented. An early development project that never went into production. Quite rare with only a few prototypes and recreations available, regards Damian

Matt, thank you for confirming it's a very rare car. Chaz made quite an impact on 90's Jaguar tuning. Thanks for your input, very much appreciated, regards Damian

@hillbilly4895, Funny enough my psychiatrist said something similar. Not keen on this white jacket, regards Damian

@carminedepaola8018, according to the standard specification in the brochures at the time the steering wheel should leather trim and wood was not an and available option. However, might be different for different world regions. It could have been a special order but most likely replacement/upgraded by a previous owner or car dealer. Hope the helps, regards Damian

@Jindra1963, could be a number of things. Firstly 'low voltage' is the battery fully charged and healthy, regards Damian

Daniel, nice to here you where happy with the car, hope your Dad is alright, regards Damian

@timkent566, we had the same issue when researching the video. ie couldn't find a source for the actuator, only for the full latch assembly. Sorry, I can't be more helpful, regards Damian

@alamosabill201, Sorry to here about your door problems. The bits where the brass rod fits is pretty important for the attachment of the roller to the laths. Assume they have broken and disappeared somewhere? regards Damian

@fallengrey, agreed its a budget mic but not without its issues, regards Damian

@neindochoohh7955, thanks for the feedback and suggestion for another standard wheel. Much appreciated, regards Damian

@@ODRModurol you are welcome

👍

@weerangersbloke, sorry, its sounds like the window might have become separated from the window motor mechanism. Suggest removing the door card again and looking for anything detached. Sorry, cant be more helpful, regards Damian

Robert, thanks for the comment and subscription, regards Damian

Alistair, sorry haven't got around to it yet. But as you suggest probably need to remove the whole light, regards Damian

Rick, stainless steel isn’t magnetic so doesn’t interfere with the cam sensors in the same way the steel bolts do. Just need to ensure they aren’t too long and foil the sensor. Hope that helps.regards Damian

@@ODRModurol Thanx, Damian. I appreciate all the help I get from your videos. Best, Rick

@tainchains, sorry difficult to diagnose but doesn't sound like anything timing related. More likely to be ignition related plugs, coils or ECU. Have you tried swopping the coil packs over and see it the issue moves to the other cylinders? regards Damian

@711honved, correct this is only for adjusting the window to seal gap and not the window closer travel, regards Damian

Chad, no problem. hope you found it useful, regards Damian

Steven, The red wire is for the interior light inside the cigar lighter. It was redundant for my installation but could be used to add illumination to the remaining ash tray. Sorry cannot fully remember splitting the wires apart but I did have to remove some of the harness protection to allow access. Hope that helps and good luck with the upgrade, regards Damian

@heroldsvateriserimske3933, I assume from your response this fix worked for you. Thanks for the feedback, regards Damian

@SlavaPonezha, thank you. The pump I used was a Draper Multi-Purpose Portable Fluid Pump Model FHP/1L Part number 23242. You can find on internet if you search for this reference. Hope that helps, regards Damian

Alex, No problem, glad you found the video useful. Much appreciate the feedback, regards Damian

@thelouwyattuk, hope this helps you fix the radio. Please let us know if you solved the issue, regards Damian

@@ODRModurol sorry. Had a hell of a lot going on. Will try this evening and let you know! Thanks again

@tainchains, doing the timing gear is a very good idea for this age of car but doubt it has anything directly to do with misfiring cylinders. Plugs, coil packs and ECU would be the first items to check in that order. Should be able to spot a faulty plug/coil pack by moving them to another cylinder and seeing if the fault moves with them. Good luck with your repairs, regards Damian

@thelouwyattuk, the radio fuse is F45 in the footwell and is a yellow 20 amp fuse. It's in the last row on the right had side in the middle. Not sure which fuse you change in the engine compartment? Hope that helps, regards Damian

@tainchains, It is good practice to renew the bolt as due to the large amount of torque required the threads could be stretched or weakened. That said if it has stretched the threads it will be quite clear and you won't be able to use. It is a large bolt and if it hasn't stretched you should be able to feel for this when reusing it. Not recommended but you might get away with it in the short term. Hope that helps, regards Damian

@robotlove62, possibly the valve motor continuously running. Could be the micro switch stuck in one position or the mechanical side of the valve is jammed. Need to remove it to check the valve operation and listen for the micro switch clicking or not. Hope that helps, regards Damian

@robotlove62, sounds like you have a plan, good luck with repairs, regards Damian

Tom, good advice and yes it is very frustrating. Especially, when I purchased from someone I though knew what they where selling. Lesson learnt never take anything at face valve which make me a bit nervous about the other components. Going to get there but might be a few more of these problems along the way. Thanks for your support, regards Damian

@kaleabdawit1324, thanks for the compliment, we are always learning and sharing new things, regards Damian

Stephen, not sure it’s bravery😉, regards Damian
