I’ve been in this trade for 40 years replacing maybe a thousand clutches in that time . Doing some on my back but mostly used a ramp . Totally respect to you doing them on cold damp wet surfaces laying down and kneeling that’s hard work really takes it toll on your body over time. You certainly have my respect Kevin.
That was really slick work at the end of a long day. What’s even more impressive is I now realise that your camera work and presentation is technically the best I have seen. Kudos 🙏
Staggering! 40+ years in the trade here and I can't imagine a more difficult way to earn a living. Just the thought of climbing under the car with a 13mm spanner only to find it's 12mm - so you have to climb back out and back in again - would drive me insane! You will never be short of work that's for sure, I guess your overheads are low in comparison to a workshop, but boy you have picked a challenging job. I take my hat off to you.
Thank you Sir for taking the time to produce this material. Your mechanical aptitude is clear to all. Your film production is pretty damn good too! Cheers 👍
Great work, that's the worst dual mass flywheel failure I've seen! I've seen them completely spin freely on outer face but never fall apart like that! And fair play to you doing it on your back in the cold and on your own! Thanks for the videos
Excellent work Kev, I know the camera work was great, along with the lighting because it is not easy and gets in the way a lot. Hats off to you doing it very methodical with care right where you need it. loved it when the clutch fell out, hope you are OK :-)
Just to add, this shows people that haven't got a clue what goes into changing a clutch the amount of work it takes ! Great vid, you'll be putting Mr Hynes of of business next. Great stuff.
Great job you are doing there! I've been watching your videos for a while now. Apart from the fact that huge respect for doing this in the rain, freezing outside or getting blown away by wind I never understood how can you just lift a transmission to it's place like it would be like 2 kilos. I've had some jobs like this, but putting back the transmission has been a nightmare every time! I'm happy I saw that it was exhausting for you today also, because I was starting to feel anxious since it looked so easy :)
I watchehed this and immediately went and scrapped my x-type (just incase the clutch ever went) I couldn't put sombody through the misery of it. Makes me think what poor twat is with my ex misses watching u suffer. 😜 What a bad design! Top work tho lad!! 💪
Another great Video Kevin, nothing seems to phase you in terms of what car it is, personally i wouldn't have the bottle to tackle a job this size on jag. Wow! The clutch certainty needed replacing i couldn't believe it when it just dropped out. Thanks again Kev for bringing your great skills and sharing with us all. Kind regards Jay
Sorry if this is a rude question mate, but how much have you charged for this job? Hell if it was me, I'd told the customer it's five thousand quid or screw you! The amount of work on this car... Jaguar really went the distance making this thing complicated to work on, haven't they? 😊😊
Hey, What do you do when you see some joint rubbers are damaged or theres a major leakage of some oil? Or there's shaftplay? Do you just inform the custommer or also replace it (if asked).
Wondered what happened to this one in the last Upload, Great job as always :) That Broken DMF could've been very painful when it dropped out, Makes you think "Safety Glasses" although I doubt that would negate the weight of that lot dropping on your Face !!
Great picture quality, you can see every damn nook and cranny. Every bolt, every nut.. That Jaguar was a pain, more nuts+bolts off that gearbox than a lego set... Crazy.. But brilliant video.. 👌👍💯👍👌💯
Takes me back to the times when with little or no cash to spare, you simply did all such work on your vehicles any way you possibly could, whilst trying to stay safe on a near zero budget! All your mates were the same! Often sparse know how or the right tools either. Necessity being the mother of invention..with bruised and cut knuckles
Your efficiency and skill is amazing. I saw the snow but didn't realize how cold it was, pretty neat heater. About how long does a typical job take if there is something as a typical job. Keep up the great job and thanks for posting these.
Used to work as a vehicle tech in the factory that made these.....just a re-badged Mondeo - piece of sh@t 😂 look at all that rust 😂 Top job Kev la 👏 Thought that DMF/clutch got you in the 🥜 then 😂
This is what pisses me off with cars it takes 2 hours stripping down the parts to get at the bit you want. Thats got to be one of the longest clutch jobs there is Kevin dont think it was ment to fall out like that either. Nice job buddy
I had a 2004 X-Type in very good shape - no rust - British Racing Green with a tan leather interior. I loved the car, and handed it down to my son. After a fair bit of work on it ourselves (maintenance and old Jag stuff) the slave cylinder on the clutch failed. That cylinder is INSIDE the transmission bell housing. After looking up the procedure and watching a (much longer) RUclips video on replacing it ... and then trying to sell it for scrap value to a Jaguar fan ... I had to give and sell it for scrap value to a metal recycler who shredded it :( If Kevin had been around he would have saved my car!. Hat's off to you Kevin sir - that's absolutely top class work!
Hi Kevin your video on the jag xtype clutch renewal was very informative. When loosening the wheel nut is car in gear and when removing gear cables is car in neutral? Going to change daughter clutch on xtype today following your video! Many thanks Micky
I did the clutch in my mates Berlingo recently, and it had been a while since I had done a clutch.. But I know Exactly that feeling.. When its just putting it all back together..
Many years ago granada,cortina,manta,golf ,rover sdi, land rovers,transits, bmc,montego,metro plus many others all done on drive ways roadside etc clutches engines etc fast forward 30 odd to 40 year knackered back and knees .get a young lad under there 👍
Great videos to watch when I was younger before I became disabled I worked on mostly unemployed peoples cars in my spare time from work getting wet and cold laying alone under someone's car your work brought some great memories keep posting your content on these is great regards
great bloke would trust him with any make of car from a banga to a ferrari , thanks for content , watching this on valentines day Mrs will get attention laters lol
hi have you done a clutch on a v6 x type ? if so can you still just lower the subframe and get the gearbox back enough without dropping it all on the floor ?
It never disintegrate .., and it stops metal oxidisation.,, which is a main cause of clutch premature wear. Clutch builds up dry rust and binds itself to the flywheel.
@@WMCS changed the 2005 fiesta clutch with a valeo 3 part unit today. its so smooth to press i thought the clutch was faulty at first . biting point nice and low. all i can say is you make it look a lot easier than it is and god know how you bench press the gearbox into position lol.. cheers! (im too far away for your services :( )
Hi Kevin, Total respect to you working in those very cold conditions on the floor removing the gearbox to replace the clutch. I won't moan, now to the boss when the shutter doors are open in the garage I work at.
G'day Kevin my father had a XJ 6 and he use to say that they are over engined and watching you putting the clutch in I think he was right, I really like watching you do this because I used to do until I got rheumatoid and fibromyalgia anyway I-wont go on about it kind regards John
I stopped to turn onto a main road late one night and a woman tapped on my passenger window . . . . I rolled it down . . . . . . . and she said . . . . . I'll do anything for £50 I said . . . . Dual mass on an X Type ? ? ? ?
I know you posted this a long time ago but please if you can reply I really would appreciate it. I dropped my car off at a clutch garage near me (romford) they said it’s taken them over 14 hours to complete as some of the bolts were threaded but seeing you do it in less than a day it really does have me feeling like I’m being stung They are trying to charge me £600 and explained it’s much less than what they should be charging (that is just the fitting price I provided them with all the parts, flywheel , cover and pressure plates, master cylinder and slave cylinder as the seals had gone) Is £600 too much to pay and how long did it actually take as it’s just over an hour of footage but was it filmed over a course or a few hours/days? Edit* I have the same car but it’s the 3.0 manual Petrol estate versión 2006 model (56)
I was like you now i am 76 years although we fixed gerarbox and clutches on trucks at the customers in the middle of the night and very bad weather,we did not think of anyt thinks else but tkat it should be done and the customer is satisfied . You have all my respect Kevin
Another fantastic video Kevin, I look forward to your videos every Saturday and Sunday. I have noticed you are using a ratchet spanner now, I have the same one, and they are great and a lot faster. When you are bleeding the clutch you now open the bleed valve and then pump the clutch pedal, is this way better than pumping the pedal then opening the bleed valve, like you used to do.
Definitely better. I attended an online course. The new csc will fail prematurely if you bleed the old fashioned way. The new technique is to prime it now. Even with the bleed valve open it doesn’t suck in air.
Kevin-Albert Williams . . . . or GOD as you should be known. . . . I'm just wondering why you used 2 different makes of components and not a full kit by one manufacturer ?
Now you have shown me how to do it- and I could...but I wont. Sod that. Once you have started the car is out of action and its a long old slog for your first time TBH. I've had enough of misaligned splines, broken and stuck spigot bearings and the bloody weight of the gear. Great to watch you did it though! As have everyone has mentioned , very well filmed and edited and was good to see my questions answered by your actions without any words. You have my respect and admiration too. Ty
Uhmmmm... I would just pour a gallon of gasoline on the car and light it up and watch it burn!!.... I hope you charge the customer alot for this job... lol. ain't buying a Jaguar anytime soon after watching this..
Hi Kevin like everyone else I have the up most respect for you and the work you do. So I'd like to say thank you for these video uploads you do theyre fantastic and very informative. I have Jaguar X type 2.2d and I did the clutch myself plus changed the sump and rear crankshaft seal, like you I did this on my back. What helped me was watching your video that had done Changing a clutch on a Mondeo diesel so many thanks and keep up the good work and stay safe
@@WMCS it really helped. I've done loads of clutch's over the years but not on the X type so always good to learn something new. Just thought while I was under there I'd sort out the oil leaks just got a small one left to sort which is the timing chain cover. I did get that horrible problem though that the captive nuts spun round but overcame that problem. Hey ho we live and learn. Anyway I'm waffling on again many thanks really appreciate it 😊
@@WMCS I didn't want to cut into the car so I looked online. I found on a Jaguar forum a guy who had got a long 21mm ring spanner and bent it into shape. The idea is you slot the spanner up through the hole that's behind the 2 13mm on the support bracket to the subframe and guide it onto the captive nut if that makes sense. So I fashioned one myself with great effort lol 😂 got there in the end, not as good as the guys from the forum site but it worked. With a bit off fiddling around manage to get it on the captive nut and bobs your uncle. I intend to keep the Jag for a while and I want to keep the maintenance up it. I'll try and find the post on the forum site and post it on here
It's a hard work, conditions are rough, and you take the time to make videos... Respect ! And this video work is useful, I have to replace my flywheel/clutch, your procedure is faster and lighter than Jaguar's one, w/o dropping the lower frame : Thank you !
I’ve been in this trade for 40 years replacing maybe a thousand clutches in that time . Doing some on my back but mostly used a ramp .

Lot of respect mate doing these clutch jobs on a drive way
That was really slick work at the end of a long day. What’s even more impressive is I now realise that your camera work and presentation is technically the best I have seen. Kudos 🙏
Thank you Mark. It means a lot. Feedback really appreciated
can you share your address and contact for service please
@@WMCS hi. I have a Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0dci 2012. Did you know if is possible to delete the immobiliser from edc17c42 this car? Thanks
Gotta be the best !
Thanks for doing these videos,after 8 years of x type ownership I know a bit about them,but these videos are more than welcome.
Note to myself: Never buy a Jag. Holy fuck it's complicated for a clutch job..
While doing the job on jackstands in the cold temperatures. Kevin is a legend

Thanks for the videos
Skill, knowledge, confidence, strength and resilience combined in a super mechanic. One in a million.
Excellent work Kev, I know the camera work was great, along with the lighting because it is not easy and gets in the way a lot. Hats off to you doing it very methodical with care right where you need it. loved it when the clutch fell out, hope you are OK :-)
Milwaukee tools should be sponsoring you for this.
freaking Jaguar engineers keeping you with plenty of extra work LOL
"Broken DMF Award" - legend! This guy wins it, hands-down.
Isn't this basically a Mondeo?
And did you edit out the bad language when the DMF landed on your ManParts?
😁😆🍺🍺
Just to add, this shows people that haven't got a clue what goes into changing a clutch the amount of work it takes ! Great vid, you'll be putting Mr Hynes of of business next. Great stuff.

What a bad design! Top work tho lad!! 💪
I feel 100x more confident to do it now. Awesome camera placement. You have my respect!
Absolutely Fantastic !. Amazing to see this carried out. Wonderful work. What knowledge.
I would replace gearbox drive shaft seals also! Silly not too really while the box is off. Top Job though sir
Respect man. You work really hard for your money. Thx for making the videos.
Nice. Three pedal Jaguar. Uncommon here in the USA.
What a monster of a job, brilliant work !
True skills there and full respect to you no matter what the conditions are your there true legend 👍👍👍👍
ok so you did a X type clutch, in the owners driveway, and filmed it as you went!? Absolute Legend!
Kevin so fast so perfect 💪😉💪😉💪
Original Ford S max Underground, WOW THE dual mass flywheel has disintegrated!!!
It literally fell off the bone.,, overcooked 😆😁
Another great Video Kevin, nothing seems to phase you in terms of what car it is, personally i wouldn't have the bottle to tackle a job this size on jag.
Wow! The clutch certainty needed replacing i couldn't believe it when it just dropped out.
Thanks again Kev for bringing your great skills and sharing with us all.

Sorry if this is a rude question mate, but how much have you charged for this job? Hell if it was me, I'd told the customer it's five thousand quid or screw you! The amount of work on this car... Jaguar really went the distance making this thing complicated to work on, haven't they? 😊😊
not that bad. It’s only a Ford mondeo 🍻😁
Respect for your professionalism. Motivated me to replace my own clutch. What’s the clutch alignment tool you used?
Hey, What do you do when you see some joint rubbers are damaged or theres a major leakage of some oil? Or there's shaftplay? Do you just inform the custommer or also replace it (if asked).
I just advise the customer to take it to their local garage
Omg how big a job was that on that jag 😳👍
Amazing job mate. Seeing how much work is involved in this, the 350€ labour I paid for my clutch change was well worth it. That was in Spain.
Thankyou. 🇪🇸
Wondered what happened to this one in the last Upload, Great job as always :)
That Broken DMF could've been very painful when it dropped out, Makes you think "Safety Glasses" although I doubt that would negate the weight of that lot dropping on your Face !!
love the blow heater send me link please
This is graft on a driveway - Respect
This is staggering. The Jag is a mega job. How many bits did you have to move. Well done!
Great work again Kevin. Not my favorite ones those.
Thanks Andy. 🍻

Eric on average it takes me about 4 hrs.
The heater is a god send.
@@WMCS Been after one of those heaters but no one has any stock on ebay, the way things are I`m not shocked. great work Kevin top man.
Just found this channel..... What a cracking job.... Can remember doing stuff like that when i was a lot younger....... Keep it up mate.....
That Jag was a nasty one.
Used to work as a vehicle tech in the factory that made these.....just a re-badged Mondeo - piece of sh@t 😂 look at all that rust 😂

excellent job sir, that moment at 42:00
I know the feeling my friend.
god bless
42 minutes....That moment when you feel the box engage properly and you know you're home and dry 😁

hi have you done a clutch on a v6 x type ? if so can you still just lower the subframe and get the gearbox back enough without dropping it all on the floor ?
how come you use red rubber grease for the splines ? i take it it can stand the heat etc cheers

Wow bet your glad the DMF didn't land on your head! Also that this would have been a massive job if it was AWD! Good job buddy 👍🏼✌️
That’s what I thought 😆.,, I swear if I it was a stand up job ., it would have come down on the conk.
Is that a Milwaukee mid toque or high torque?
High torque..,
@@WMCS do you think its too much power? i was wondering if i should get the mid torque or high torque for light diesel vehicles
I stopped to turn onto a main road late one night and a woman tapped on my passenger window . . . .

I said . . . . Dual mass on an X Type ? ? ? ?
I know you posted this a long time ago but please if you can reply I really would appreciate it.

They are trying to charge me £600 and explained it’s much less than what they should be charging (that is just the fitting price I provided them with all the parts, flywheel , cover and pressure plates, master cylinder and slave cylinder as the seals had gone)
Is £600 too much to pay and how long did it actually take as it’s just over an hour of footage but was it filmed over a course or a few hours/days?
Edit*
I have the same car but it’s the 3.0 manual Petrol estate versión 2006 model (56)

Kevin-Albert Williams . . . . or GOD as you should be known. . . . I'm just wondering why you used 2 different makes of components and not a full kit by one manufacturer ?
The customer uses the car for a lot of short journeys. Lots of stop and start.
So this is an upgraded flywheel and upgraded metal CSC.. 🍻🍻🍻
Now you have shown me how to do it- and I could...but I wont. Sod that. Once you have started the car is out of action and its a long old slog for your first time TBH.

Excellent video as always, what hammer are you using?
It’s a MAC 27oz
I have show many vlog from you,nise and hard job with no ramp ,as a mechanic i never saw you change the crankshaft seal ,why?
A lot of people get confused thinking a crack seal leaks. But it’s either the end cap. Ladder frame or free play in crank that’s the cause.
