Mike you know how to pick 'em! A dead 20 year old Jag with 200,000+ miles that's sat for 8 years! With all kinds of dings and dents. What a great car for a project. Perhaps you should have let this one RIP. But I'll keep on watching you turn wrenches on whatever you drag home. 😉
@@MonkeyWrenchMike whens the wedding and and am I invited I could do the solos (I'm related to Fats domino and I'm fluent in all kinds of music and I could bring Mercedes parts as a wedding gift!
Great video Mike &Randy and also your friend Misty she seems great and has a great sense of humor and pretty too Looks like you have a little work ahead of you but know you will get it running 😊
Hay Mike, that S-Type is beautiful but do a first wash video and see how good you can make it look plus always nicer working on a clean car. Keep up the fantastic videos
Those Jaguars have shifter isues because the plastic piece snaps. Unsnap the line and use a screwdriver to make sure it is in Neutral or Park to start it. If that doesn't work, change put the whole ignition assembly and key set from a junkyard.
'Its a Jaaaaaaaag', as J Clarkson says...... but im sure you have heard the story that 'you need 2 Jags to keep one on the road'. Anyway it will be a fun video to watch... I do love the 'Big Cats'.
A gorgeous car Mike !!! Does the original key have a chip in it as part of the alarm / mobilizer? And the valet key not have that chip ? I'd have a good read of the user manual.
When you were struggling get the boot open I nearly screamed at my screen there is an emergency keyhole hidden above the license plate on the bootlid handle
You should get away from the Mercedes and BMW and do jaguars of others! You really should! Keep it up Mike that was the best video bro!!!! Love your best friend! Hope she can be in a bit more videos!!!
you know you can open the boot with the key? where you put your fingers on the latch to open the boot, feel to the left of this and theres a little key hole out of sight for emergency entry.
Hello from the UK... None of the "Jag-war" rubbish,, it's Jag-U-ar. I have an X351 XJ. Best car I have ever had, and unusual for you guys in the States, mine is a 3-litre V6 Twin Turbo Diesel! Can I also add, I am from Birmingham UK, and this car would have been made 3 miles from where I lived.
I am in the UK & have heard of problems with some jags that have been left with a flat battery & it's not good, I was told that the ecu has to be reprogrammed as it's software becomes corrupt, A person i know changed a clutch on a Jag & had the battery disconnected for only 2 days, When he reconnected it he had this same problem & it was what i stated above, Ended up scrapping the car as the quote to reprogram the ECU outweighed the value of the car, I hope you have better luck than he did!.
The steering lock is electronic on these you should hear it actuating when you insert the key as for the emobiliser diferent years of S-Types had diffrent systems but the valet key will not have the immobiliser chip so it will not start the car you will need a new master key programed
Go to keyless entry keyfob and get a master key with the key fob have it cut,then you can program the key .......yes the immobilizer prevents the car to be started any other way.......
Im crossing my fingers that you dont have any electrical problems Mike as you will pull youre hair out chasing them on any jaaags. By the way you two were definitely cut from the same cloth, you two bounce of each other in perfect timing, no wonder you've been friends for so long. Hope to see more of Indiana Mike and the Jaag of doom 😮 laters chuckles Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Funny timing! I just won a 2002 s type with 270,000 miles for $350 at auction. Mine is a run and drive and has all of its paint though. These are pretty good cars with the exception of the ford transmission. In 03, they switched to a zf unit for obvious reasons. With high mileage, it's almost certainly been rebuilt or replaced.
Hi Mike, I'm Hervé from France. Well, if you think the immobilizer keeps the engine off, maybe you should ask to a Jaguar dealer close to you. More especially as you can prove this is not a stolen car as you have all the papers, the key and you know the owner. I guess all the cars (my brother got that issue with a small Renault car) have a code with several numbers digits and with this combination of numbers and dedicated swiches such lights/odometer reset, computer set, .... It's a code like the radios you have to enter when the radio is plug off and then plug on. Maybe this code is written in the official papers of the car. Anyway, I guess Jaguar can find this code in their datas bank with the serial number of the car. Maybe you can start with the code and the right procedure, but you'll have to make the procedure code everytime you'll want to start the engine (again my brother experience !!) Replace the entire immobilizer probably will cost a lot. Good luck Mike !! (I'm a Jeep fan and owner ).
Mike, these are great cars but they develop weird quirks with age. I owned a 2004 Lincoln LS which shares the same parts. On my LS and most likely your Jag the solenoid pack and EGR share the same fuse , in my case my faulty EGR would blow the fuse and cause the car to remain stuck in gear. The suspension can be pretty pricy to repair, specifically the control arms. Ford/Jag updated their control arms after the first generation of LS so that they wouldn’t break under the power of the s type R. If you get that far into the weeds just buy the gen 1 control arms and they should fit up. Good luck !
I bought a similar one of these for $400 a few years ago and it wouldn't start after the previous owner struck a mailbox, turned out these are basically Ford's and have a fuel kill switch in the passenger front kick panel so you should check that to see if its active
Hello Mike aka Monkey Wrench Mike and Randy. Let's see if you can get it on Randy's trailer. I bet the battery is behind the front wheel or in the trunk.

I wish there could be more craft activities with Missy, it's a great combination and very nice to watch.
Thanks!!
@@MonkeyWrenchMike whens the wedding and and am I invited
I could do the solos (I'm related to Fats domino and I'm fluent in all kinds of music and I could bring Mercedes parts as a wedding gift!
Those Jaguars are the most beautiful things Ford has made on the global market❤
I agree. I think the S Type perfectly balanced the past with the present. I think it was the most underrated car.
Missy is lovely!
This was a fun adventure! Missy is such a sweetheart too but I was offended she offered me so much w@@d to smoke. 😂 kidding kidding 😂
Hahahahahahh! You should have heard what she said about you! Jk jk jk!!
@@MonkeyWrenchMike no your not Mike 😂
Missy seems to be a sweet person mike, good luck on figuring out the jaguar
I think Mikey likey his childhood friend
They seem so giddy around each other. You go Mikey
Great video Mike &Randy and also your friend Misty she seems great and has a great sense of humor and pretty too
Looks like you have a little work ahead of you but know you will get it running 😊
I think you might have found a little diamond in the ruff Mike, good luck. 😎👌👍
That horn going off sure got my dogs going! ❤MWM
Mine just stayed sleeping
She would make a Hilarious 😂 Sidekick for you Mike
Hay Mike, that S-Type is beautiful but do a first wash video and see how good you can make it look plus always nicer working on a clean car. Keep up the fantastic videos
Ford mondeo platform with a mustang heart and british body.. looovely!
lincoln Ls platform the x type was mondeo
Great content and good luck with the Jaguar. Looks like some more good content ahead
Aww Mike you both make a Cute 🥰 Couple 😍
Y’all 2 would make a great couple
Randy and Mike already are a couple

A very giggly episode. 🤔👏
Missy is definitely your kind of girl 😊
Love the old picture of the two of you. Super cute! Missy gave me Ashley Monroe vibes in that picture.
Heck yeah - looking forward to seeing this fire up again!
Yayyy love this!! 😀🔥🤘🏽 It's like watching a car wrenching story unfolding in front of us
Lovely lady Mike!
Thought you had a new lady at first .
He would if he got Randy's Maserati
@@ThriftMachineUse the Tracker!
@@dguttadorea
The way she looks at him, he should go ahead and bat 🤷🏼♂️
That’s what I thought to lol
That mount looks like for an old satellite radio
Nice jag and great video like always!🤪👍🏻
Hi Mike under the boot plinth ie chrome trim there is a key hole to open the boot when the battery goes flat or the button stops working
Hey Mike. Search on the internet for an Immobilizer Bypass Module for the year, make, and model of your Jaguar. They're under $90
👍🇺🇸😎
What an odd place for a positive jump point! 😲
Satellite radio mounts!
It’ll be a great project, Mike! truly enjoy the channel.
Randy ever the optimist 😂
NEVER SEEN MIKE SO HAPPY
A gorgeous car Mike !!! Does the original key have a chip in it as part of the alarm / mobilizer? And the valet key not have that chip ? I'd have a good read of the user manual.
The Valet key will not have an immobiliser chip in it
@18, Wow Misty is cool for giving you a sack of grass to work on the JAG.
When you were struggling get the boot open I nearly screamed at my screen there is an emergency keyhole hidden above the license plate on the bootlid handle
Now you tell me…. Lol
mount is from an old sirius radio.
Ah our British sticky buttons great video mike hope you and duckies are well
You should get away from the Mercedes and BMW and do jaguars of others! You really should! Keep it up Mike that was the best video bro!!!! Love your best friend! Hope she can be in a bit more videos!!!
Nice car and a project, Mike .
I like her Mike. She’s a keeper!!
The Jaguar is gorgeous 😍
That was a new take on the name
‘Jaguire’
I remember , you can use the key on the boot
Underneath chrome strip says Jaguar.
Loved my S type, in fact just sold it last week. Great riding car once I sorted the suspension out.
The alarm went off and you unplugged the horn, however; the alarm is still active and won't allow the car to start.
Vary sweet indeed. I hope everything is going to run right for you.
Ooof. That’s a parts car or fire station training candidate at best. I know I’d be praying for fire if it were mine. ;-)
you know you can open the boot with the key? where you put your fingers on the latch to open the boot, feel to the left of this and theres a little key hole out of sight for emergency entry.
Good luck with the Jaguar 🐆 You’ll getter going no doubt👍🇨🇦
If u 2 are single take her on a date mike u 2 look like y’all have so much fun together
LOVE LOVE LOVE longer video ❤️

Good luck. We had a x type one, we had two moments of happiness with the car. When we bought and when we sold.
❤LOOKS LIKE MIKE FINALLY FOUND HIS SOUL MATE ❤
Love the jag. Thanks Mike
There was a lot of giggling and tee heein going on. Is there something we should know Michael Oh Michael 😘
I think she's done for!
I am in the UK & have heard of problems with some jags that have been left with a flat battery & it's not good, I was told that the ecu has to be reprogrammed as it's software becomes corrupt,

Worse comrs to worst...LS swap!! I'm Missy's son will love it.

Mike have fun with the car and take your dog get her doll her up 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Finally a Lady on the Show.
A pretty one too!
Hey Mikey
Peace
DrRick
I can see the red immobilizer light flashing top of dash because the key is not being recognized
Go to keyless entry keyfob and get a master key with the key fob have it cut,then you can program the key .......yes the immobilizer prevents the car to be started any other way.......
Mike, you look like Matt Damon in the photograph you posted with Missy.
Im crossing my fingers that you dont have any electrical problems Mike as you will pull youre hair out chasing them on any jaaags.

Great name!!
Brilliant guys 😂
Is the immobilizer preventing it from starting? 🤔
Lola demanded her cameo.😂

The electronic holder in the interior looks like an old SiriusXM device holder based on the port.
Hey Mike try cycling the key on and off 5 times sometimes that works
Will do!

They didn't have color film when you were in the second grade? 😀
Nope!!
I wonder what the date code is on those tyres?
Another great video Mike, I can’t wait to see this old car going again!
Cheers Pat🇦🇺
Love this video. Huggs ❤

Good video bud keep up the good work

That’s the inertia switch I was telling Randy about.
Pretty neat Jaguar S type came with orginal phone even tho car is near 20 years old good luck to this project Monkey Wrench.
Hey Mike.
nice Ford Milkey
Mike u know u can get in the back trunk by the back seat and pull the strap on the inside of trunk lid. By the middle console on back seat
Oh i see dollar signs getting that one sorted. I would ask LoLa for guidance on this Jaguar.
This one is a can of worms. Good luck with this one! Back to the Mercedes Station Wagon and the Barbie Car
Mike I have a Kia and it has am low oil shut off. I t won"t start when low oil.

Hello Mike aka Monkey Wrench Mike and Randy. Let's see if you can get it on Randy's trailer. I bet the battery is behind the front wheel or in the trunk.
Good luck with this one.
Hope you figure it out I have the same problem with my s type r
