Hi Jack I worked with JLR for 10 years and we used to put a duck bill grommet in the boot floor. It was a technical bulletin. The duck bill would suck water out of the boot as air would flow over is. It would replace the grommet you found in the floor pan. This meant if your water leak returns it would not corrode the fuse box or locking module.
Ok, it drives me crazy the “experienced” Jaguar mechanics using spring compressors to remove the rear shocks on the X308/X100, simply remove the bolts on the bottom plate of the Diff with the exception of the two opposite the side you are working, use a pry bar to bend the plate down (use a wedge of wood to hold it open) then the lower control arm will swing enough for the spring and shock to simply fall out, no dangerous spring compressors, easy-peasy, I’ve done 6 sets this way and takes no time at all. Simple, safe and a HUGE time saver.
As a former upholster I think you did well recovering the seat it is not a straight forward job. It was good that you used the correct sealer on the boot not just the bathroom sealer. With those PCB's it isn't worth trying to fix them, so time consuming, unless of course they are no longer available. Now you have central locking heated seats and new shocks on the rear end. Funny how cats don't really like water but they will play with a garden hose! All in all a very productive video Jack and Pistachio, thank you both (well he did help, bless him). 👍👍
Can't tell you how wonderful it is to see dad's car getting the tlc it deserves Jack. To say I'm rooting for you would be an understatement! Absolutely gutted about the potential gearbox issue, I genuinely thought that had been taken care of but sounds like it needed more than just a service. Can't wait to see the progress ❤
Watching your DIY work made my day! I imagine that just the replacement driver's seat makes such a difference, let alone fixing the leaks and keyfob etc. It's great to see your work on Reggie, all keeping within a budget.. and in the good company of Pistaccio!!👍
Reggie from last year's video helped me to decide on getting my own XJR. I should be driving it this weekend. Nice to see those diagnosis and fixes in this video.
Always good to see you crack a problem so easily. You attack them with such positive enthusiasm and energy it makes it worth watching. Keep up th good work
i had one of these XJR's, probably the best drive i have ever had but the cost of keeping it on the road and in good condition was just beyond my income level. I love that you are putting so much effort into one of these beautiful cars
Ah, Jack... I crown you the King of the DIY universe. You have undoubtedly saved a ton, although I don't know how many of your viewers could have accomplished this work. I do all my own mechanical work and have a proper workshop to affect it, but body and trim work is not in my expertise. AWFUL lot of trouble to replace dampers...and Reggie is looking more like a disaster to me. I'm glad he's in your garage and not mine, but you seem to love him, so I suppose all is well.
Just a note about the ABS light on these Jags. They are often known for their intermittent on / off activity. Don't go pulling all the braking sensors etc off try dissconnecting the large multi pin plug on the ABS pump and spraying the contacts with electronic cleaner first. Doing this will also reboot the system. It worked for me. 1996 4ltr X330. XJ6.
You're an obstinate so and so. Kudos to you for being so obstinate and giving this rocket of a car a new lease of life. Nothing much in life gets done unless someone has a go. Well done. Hope the timing chains are okay.
So pleased you've brought lovely car back to almost its best. So satisfying when things get fixed without spending a fortune. Well done Jack, it's inspiring content
Sounds like even more fun than my cheap project XF. I had an xjr a few years back, they are a superb motor albeit somewhat thirsty. Great idea with the smoke bombs, there is plenty of evidence of water in my boot.
Imagine if a 'good willed' neighbour phoned the fire brigade!? I've had my fair share of project cars with mixed results. It can be an emotional roller coaster at times. The lack of a garage prevents me from doing another. Watching videos like this is a double-edged sword. Entertaining, motivating, and yet a reminder of heartbreak at times.
Great video. It’s great seeing Reggie getting put back to being one of the best Jaguars on the road. I drove an XJR many years ago and thought it was an amazing car. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
From the thumbnail, I thought your boot was on fire! Glad to see it wasn't. Good luck with all the work on Reggie. It's great to see modern classics like this being kept on the road.
Coming along nicely 👍🏼. Top tip for those waste seals, the xj40 ones are much better quality and don’t corrode like the later ones, they are only slightly different to the x300 and x308 ones so can be adapted to fit very easily.
In my opinion your best video ever. Superbly edited, all the information is there, but it does not drag on. The smoke bomb what a superb idea, I have taken this on board. I had an MG-ZT with the full nav tv system that had water leaking into the boot, the problem was I did not know it. I only found out when the nav stopped working and I found a puddle of water around it. At the time it was a £3000.00 bill to replace the whole lot. The tech for the whole system was mounted in the bottom of the boot. Why they did not put a drain in the bottom of the boot I will never know. The leak was easy to find, it was the window trim close to the boot. The cracks in the leather in the new seat in my opinion does not look fantastic. Again a great watch, cheers.
Thanks for sharing. Is a joy to see a competent mechanic doing a tricky shock job. I would not try myself but I would have to find a trustworthy mechanic, which can be difficult these days.
Love how many fixes were done in the diration of this video! And you are doing pretty much all of it yourself, Jack. Lol, at the help you get with the seat
Those water leaks can be annoying Jack. Glad you got it sorted. Sometimes I wake up with a couple of litres of water in my footwells, need to get it properly sorted.
I have an ancient Hyundai Elantra and I use silicone to seal up leaks and even hold body panels in place. The clear kitchen/bath silicone by GE works really well.
Loving cats as well makes the introduction (first time I heard of Pistachio at the end of the first video of this series) to this car even the more attractive. Really looking forward. Cheers from Belgium 😊
This series is brilliant I have the pleasure of a bmw 635d and I try to do as much work as I can, and watching this makes think this is the way forward to owning an expensive car
When i had XJ40s over a period of 24 years i used to order stuff from a breaker in Co Durham called EuroJag. They were really helpful. Had all sorts of stuff from them including a complete auto to manual conversion. My later car was an airbag car so it had the X300 bulkhead, pedalbox & getrag 290 gearbox. They found everything including manual engine ecu. Anyway Jack loving your content on your new car. 👍
Wow, so cool! I bought my XJ40, a 1991 Sovereign back in 2021 and I use it as a daily during the summer, along with maintaining it. The first owner had it from 1991 to 2017, then it slept in a barn until 2021. Awesome car!
@@alexandrecouture2462 I bought my 1st in 1992. It was an 1988 or 89 F reg 3.6 manual in British Racing Green. Bought it of my best friend who was expanding his business and needed some cash. Kept it till 1999 when in the April I purchased a 1994 M reg Daimler 4.0 auto SWB in metallic red (claret colour) with red pipes doeskin leather. It was a run-out car ex- jaguar Browns Lane car on a factory FVC plate.. Kept it until 2016. Gave it to the same friend who I bought the first one from. Dailyed both travelled all round Europe in both; South of France, Italy, Monaco, Austria, Germany Netherlands and Belgium.
I admire your "gung ho" attitude towards taking parts off and out. I often find removal is so much easier than reinstalling. Good luck to you with the car and I hope you enjoy your ownership.
Hi Jack! Next time those door handle guards discolour, you should try heating them gently with a hot air gun. It brings out the natural oils in the plastic and makes them like new again!👍
I did a similar thing on some faded plastic trim on my car interior. It does work well, but you've got to be careful as there's not a lot of heat difference between getting the oils to release and starting to melt the plastic.
It does work, however the heat applied vapourises the plasticisers within the item - which will render it more brittle. Notably, plasticisers are substances added to a polymer solution to promote its plasticity and flexibility.
A brilliant way to recolour plastics is spray them with SEM plastic paint. Easy to use permanent fix. Just done all of the exterior black trim on my mk3 MR2 and it looks like new. Nationwide Smart Repairs in Slinfold are uk distributors. I recently bought the MR2 as a project and to have fun in as these are such underrated cars. Poor man Elise 👍🏻.

Love to see you working on the cars, I suspect you probably enjoy doing the reviews more but the nuts and bolts coming off and going on is what is the thriller for me!!
The good Captain's potion does work but only if the crack is 100% dry. In the winter this is very hard to accomplish, If you have a garage its not so bad and you can attack the area you want to seal with a heat gun. Even then you won't know if the seam is absolutely dry. Just leave it as long as you can and repeat the use of the heat gun. You keep feeding the seam until no more will seep in and then hope for the best. You can top it up the next day if it has sunk and you've not made it wet again. It's not magic. It's a PVA based product and that is water soluble. Make sure it doesn't dry on your paintwork. It is a pig to get off if it dries.
Now in my mid 70's I recall many years ago having worked in a new car dealership and attending to repairs of new vehicles with water leaks in the boot area, although not Jaguar in particular I expect this method of identifying the fault would be much the same regardless of make, follow these simple steps: First confirm if the water ingress is definitely coming from above the car as with rain or by water leaking in from a car wash and not from driving over or through irregular large wet areas such as very large puddles or low flood waters thus eliminating the need for observing the unlikely upper body areas, clear the boot of all unnecessary luggage and anything likely to impede observation of otherwise normally covered or hidden areas, then armed with a fully charged battery flashlight enter the boot and have an accomplice with a hose at the ready close the boot and apply water force around the likely suspect areas and listening while you visually look for water entry, after determining the water entry point exit the boot and proceed to repair the fault. This may seem like a long explanation however in practice it is rather simple and effective, often the problem is resulting from a poorly sealed rubber seal around the boot lit itself or a failed gasket surrounding taillights or other similar fittings.

Thanks Carl!! Enjoyed making this one and working on the Jag..
Excellent content, back to the good ol’ Jack doing what he’s good at, some proper DIY grafting. More of this please Jack 👍🏼
Bravo to you on gradually bringing Reggie back to top trim. These are gorgeous cars and it is a joy just to look at it during your projects.
Great to see the big jag gradually coming back to life.
Its that INTREPID spirit, along with your fun loving nature that keeps me coming back.

Drill a small hole in the base of the boot man, i have a 98 xjr , at least the water can escape if the various leak holes persist

Hi Jack!
Next time those door handle guards discolour, you should try heating them gently with a hot air gun. It brings out the natural oils in the plastic and makes them like new again!👍
I did a similar thing on some faded plastic trim on my car interior. It does work well, but you've got to be careful as there's not a lot of heat difference between getting the oils to release and starting to melt the plastic.
It does work, however the heat applied vapourises the plasticisers within the item - which will render it more brittle. Notably, plasticisers are substances added to a polymer solution to promote its plasticity and flexibility.
