haha i know better than finding money that was

haha yup because french

Hi ,Aww thank you for the very kind words , hes not currently for sale but if every change my mind i will let you know for sure

Thank you for the lovely compliment , glad you enjoyed the video the RCZ was a good car

Prior to having the oil filter tool i would have said 10 now its about a 6 with the tool its just more of a pain now rather than not possible as it was before it took 2 people and stripping off all the intake pipes from the top

Yeah i did enjoy mine , the looks of them are amazing

Aww thanks for the lovely words , I completely forgot about that your right , I Polly bushed mine not long after i put it back on the road . remember when the originals went had an interesting moment of the rear end stepping out on me haha

Amazing hopefully got my fingers crossed , be great to see you there . MK1 Mondeo amazing car when my brother had one totally changed my view of Ford's he had a 1.8 LX was so comfy and an amazing motorway cruiser

@@na-turbo they’re just so good at doing what they do. Mines a 2.0 16v ghia. Some videos of it on my channel, must be addicted to them this is my 5th Mondeo but 1st MK1

on a motorway run i was conformable getting over 60mpg and county roads around 50mpg was very impressed with the fuel economy , only thing to note is mine at 2012 was not ULEZ or CAZ compliant even though it had a DPF

@@na-turbo cheers, just the width and crashy ride still putting me off..

Hi Steve i hope you are well , apologies for taking so long to reply work and life getting in the way as normal haha , Thank you for your kind words on the video . I am so glad some one else has had the same experience as me getting the XF was a kind of default i had just given back my PCP lease car during covid when cars were scarce so came out very well from that and i needed another car . My brother had the XF but stopped using it as he went from working 24 miles away round trip to over 60 so the fuel consumption was hurting him . its still a car a lot of me regrets selling as it was truly amazing i loved the ride the looks the noise it made i just could not get past that tax and even though since i have changed jobs so could afford it its more the principal . I dont get political on the channel but totally agree with your comments there and the same is happening again on EV but dont get me started on that haha . for my daily driver i have gone back to a new PCP car just because its under warranty and it goes back for servicing in a package etc trouble is i always have mixed feelings not just the cost of the lease but the waste as its far to complex to keep after the PCP ends and i tend to find cars of say the 6 to 10 years can bankrupt you in cost because of the complexity . i hope you keep enjoying the channel and hope to have some new content soon

@@na-turbo Thank you for your reply and for reading through my comments - I realise it was a bit of a lengthy tome! It was really good to find someone else that had owned a petrol XF of the same era as mine and I could relate to a lot of your ownership experiences. I am a member of a Jaguar internet forum with an active XF section but virtually all other members have diesel XF's so it of limited benefit to me with my petrol V6! Even after 8 years I still enjoy the qualities of the XF the ride, refinement, performance etc and when its washed and polished I think it still looks pretty good and is ageing quite well. I agree with you about potential repair costs on older prestige cars - they may depreciate heavily but maintainance and repairs will cost as much as when they were new. I've been really lucky on that front so far mainly routine just servicing and maintainance - tyres. brakes etc hope I'm not tempting fate saying this!! I can live the low fuel economy, I'm retired so don't do that many miles and the XF is at its best on a longer run. I won't go on about the car tax again but as you say it is an absurd waste of money! It is the main thing that presents a dilemma to me about keeping the XF or not. I think the high VED could affect the value of the car and make it more difficult to sell. I usualy sell my cars privately and have always been successful in the past. I wonder if the road tax costs would put buyers off particularly on a XF like mine which is only worth a few thou and the annual road tax represents a higher proportion of the cars value than a more expensive car. Out of interest did you have much trouble selling your XF and did the high road tax prove to be much of an obstacle ? Be interesting to know if I decide to test the market. Will look out for new content on your channel - as a confirmed petrol head I enjoy YT car channels 👍

@@steveegginton535 No problem at all thank you for the comments its nice to see some one with as much love for the XF as i had , i was even very impressed with the parts prices one of the only faults i had was the water pump started leaking , I phoned a Jaguar dealer getting ready to fall of the chair but it was something like 120 pound for a complete unit not half a unit like most third party ones and the dealer got it with in two days so i went for that and no problems after . When i made the decision to sell it was a hard one i hate selling cars hence why i collect a lot haha . I didn't have trouble selling it because of the high tax or because it was a petrol it was the usual time wasters iv had on any cars for sale . i even advertised it with Autotrader and had the same time wasters there too for example people calling about it but they only had £1500 pounds less than i was selling it for . In the end by luck a lovely couple came and bought it . it was for his wife who only worked 4 miles each way from home but wanted something nice to go to work in so the economy and tax were not an issue for them .

@@na-turbo Thanks for your reply much appreciated. I was interested and encouraged by your experience of selling your XF. Selling privately is usually a pain but its the way to get the best price for a car. I know I would get peanuts p/x'ing it or selling to an online car buying service despite all the hype. Frankly an XF like mine would be a lot of car for the money for someone, but not the right car if their top priority was running costs - they should buy a Yaris🙂 Being a petrol is not really a disadvantage these days and the engines are simpler then the diesels. So if I decide to sell will definitely try selling it myself - you only need one person as they say! Yes its always worth a call to the dealer for parts, sometimes you are pleasantly surprised! Think I missed a trick recently when I replaced part of the boot wiring harness. Common issue on Jags the internal wires get brittle and tend to break with all the use of the boot lid. I brought a genuine Jaguar part from an Ebay seller - the part was perfect and cured the problems I had been having with the locks but cost £100 which seemed a fair bit for some wires! Several people have since said that they are nearly half that price at the dealer so lesson learned there! Thanks again for the info and the XF videos.

Hi thanks for the kind words , im not sure to be honest it was very original when we go it , As nice as it was the car has since left the fleet on to a new owner to improve

@@na-turbo Oh that's sad. Thanks for sharing it with us, it was nice.

Hi Sorry for the late reply the tool we got was from Ebay it was a US Pro 3 leg metal oil filter removal too / wrench it came as a 2 part set and was really cheap but made all the difference , hope this helps a bit

No problem at all they did replace all the injector seals and also the leak off pipe as well as cleaning the injectors

hehe thanks not bad for a hill billy mock up job

Mine was a GT model i believe you had the option of choosing which color leather you wanted at the time of ordering , mine also had the quad rear exhaust system i think this was a dealer fit option rather than something from the factory

what mpg figs are u getting?

Do you mind disclosing how much you paid? I am after an RCZ HDI too...

@@davidstuart4915 With a lot of country roads driving and a bit around twon I get around 52mpg which I think is fantastic. On a couple of Motorway journeys it went higher I think around 58 or 60mpg with gentle cruising, will check again next time

haha yup that was his version of fixing it , id have preferred he left the dent now it looks hideous until i get to fix it on the plus side people park away from the car now lol

It did indeed the original carb sadly in a cleaning bath disintegrated so a spares one was used

They are very underrated i am loving mine more and more , sure it needs a fair bit of TLC from being sat in a field but its worth it , i love how many people think it looks like grandpa's car until they get left behind haha

It was the only thing on the diesel that can go especially if lots of short trips are done is the injector seals so you start to notice a diesel smell in the cab mine had done well over 100k when they went but its a costly ans specialist job it cost me over £700 , other wise that diesel engine is well proven and can go on for ever

@na-turbo amazing thank you. Great Video!

Diesels can go up to 200/40k, petrols on the other hand 140k at best.

@@vladislavfeldman6562 Absolutely the HDI engine is very robust , mine suffered from injector seals but i think that was more do do with the build up from short trips in its previous life

They really are an amazing looking car and despite what people say about french cars the interior quality is really good and high end , They drive very well like any car they need maintenance the petrol more so than the diesel , Thank you also for the very kind words

@@na-turbo thank you for the information I will definitely keep that in mind when I buy one i appreciate it and you're welcome mate 👊🏾

​@@na-turbo Excellent video. What price did you sell it for? I'm looking at buying one right now.

@@keepitreal1547 Hey thank you for the very kind words , I traded mine in at a car dealership for £2k so i took a loss but i have seen them since prices have calmed after the pandemic for around 3K , They are fantastic cars very underrated but i think better than the Audi TT of the same age

Aww yeah it surprised me just how great and smooth and how it soaked up all the bumps compared to much more modern cars i have had . The MK1 especially is very good at being what its designed for sitting on the motorway in comfort . Its criminal Ford have killed off this and the Fiesta and Focus i think its a big mistake they will very much live to regret

Aww thank you for the lovely words , The RCZ is an amaing car i loved it and blows the competition such as the Audi TT of the same year out of the water . I think you will love it if you get one if i just had that to keep on top of and not the other projects i would have kept mine but a combination of not doing the miles and needing a worry free car meant i went down the new car lease route as a daily

Ah yeah i would love that haha , with the grapple tool its much easier i can do it on my own in less time but still i am like why Toyota why , plus being old Japanese even from the top they love a vac pipe its like a maze , still love it to bits though

Wow that amazing what engine does yours have

Hi , yes this is the 1.7 4cyl with carb manual choke

Hi , many thanks for the kind words its a standard obd1 car the only thing changed was removing the broken auto box to convert to a standard 5 speed manual from a MK3 Golf , great thing about VW interchangeability

They are , I was very late to appreciating them until i went to see this one and drove it on its natural habitat the motorway , very smooth and just eats up the miles and its comfy

Thanks for the kind words , Prior to my brother getting this i had never driven one as i was always more of a VW guy but driving this totally opened my eyes and you can see why they were a motorway favorite . What attracted us to this one was the original owner being so meticulous and im sure a lot of how it drives is because of that , we saw a few with a bit better body work but that can be fixed on this the history is what sold it to us

Yup people used to fill them with 10w/40

Ah i thought there should have been i spent ages randomly feeling around haha , ah yeah i know what you mean about the boot lid , it still surprises people how big the boot is for a sports car and that the seats fold . I will be doing another video soon as sadly time has come for mine to be moved on even though i have only had it a short time im now working from home so wont do it any good with the DPF for short journeys . Still maintain its the best looking car about even filthy from the roads it still manages to look gorgeous

Thanks for the lovely comment , The good news is my brother managed to find a replacement front sub frame from a scrappy so the 21 will love on , I will deffo do some more videos as we get into that am so glad we could save it , sadly it wont make FOTU this year but my brother is bringing his MK1 Mondeo LX , Im still debating what to bring it could be my VW corrado VR6 , people have said its not unexceptional but only now are they popular was a huge flop in the day lol

Hi , Thanks for the comment sorry its taken me ages to reply , i did some checking with my brother and its actually not a 94 as i first though but the sales invoice puts it as a 95.5 model , i am such a geek i do love original paper work 🙂

That is a great idea

Thanks for the comment they are really great cars and the way they look blows the competition in out of the water

Just need to persuade my brother :-)

Oh brilliant thanks for the suggestion i will let me brother know and hopefully it will be ready again for the MOT soon , its been one of those cars fought him all the way i just cant wait until its been MOT'd ironically its MOT exempt about six months after he does the MOT but he wanted it fully checked rather than waiting .

Hi John , Thanks for the lovely comment , the video was one of my first so not the best quality but the car sells it haha . oh wow i would have loved to have seen one fresh from the factory when they were new . My brother has a love hate relationship with his haha its fought all the way in the resto and every time it gets close it throws a spanner in the works haha . Hoping it will be fully on the road in the next month or so .

Hey thanks for the comment apologies for the late reply , wow an auto that must have been rare . Yeah from my brothers one they seem strong cars too always starts and runs amazingly well . We are hoping in the next few months to have it out on the road
