Anthony - was the replaced failed thermostat Jaguar OE? Would have expected an OE part to last longer. I replaced the lower main radiator spring hoses fitted by Jaguar with jubilee clips on both mine (and the missus 2.5) as they both managed to come off and leave us stuck - fortunately the missus failure was in the Shell garage in Godstone and mine in a lay-bye on the A22 dual carriageway. Enjoy your videos but my stress level always increases now with every journey feeling that I am always borrowed time now.
I apologise for increasing your stress levels there! Yes the thermostat i replaced was a Jaguar OEM one as far as I was aware. All I can say is that the quality of items isn't what it used to be and I may just have been unlucky. I have replaced it with a generic unit at £16. Yes it's a ball ache of a job but I don't expect another failure. We really must cross paths at some stage being as close to each other as we are. -Anthony
Great video Anthony! Thanks for posting.. Im having this exact heating problem now. Would you know what causing my heavy fuel consumption perhaps. 2007 3L X t-ype, recently purchased in very good condition (seemingly) with only 85K on the clock. On the open road crusing at 130/140km/h for at least 80km with no traffic, she reads 13,7L per 100km! this is crazy heavy fuel consumption right?
I've got a 2.5 X-Type that has a new thermo, but a stuck cooling fan. After about 10 miles of driving The gauge bounces up to red until I shut the car off and when i turn it on its at normal temp. I was thinking of replacing the coolant sensor and water pump. Do you know what the cause is?
@@wangautomotive "new" doesn't mean "working". The thermostat I replaced was 3 years old and less than 10k miles. Take the coolant return line out the side of the header tank, hold it above the open header tank with the cap off and run the engine. If water rushes out of the pipe then the water pump is working.
Great video, explained exactly what i need to do on mine clearly and concisely!! Thanks man!
Look like you were working in cold weather Anthony.
New years Day 2024 so was Motown weather - 3 degrees, 4 tops 😆

Good video, but the music is not helpful..makes it hard to hear your explanations...
