- Jaguar XJ8 Antenna repair. Stripping the motor and replacing the antenna mast.
In this video I fix the aerial antenna on the XJ8. What appeared to be an easy fix quickly turned into a much bigger job. This involved stripping out the boot lining and removing the aerial motor, stripping it down and replacing the antenna mast and then putting everything back.

You are so right...old cars will always need work and you so need to enjoy working on them.
Loved your video...so natural and just like the rest of us
They certainly do !! Next up for this one is to paint the roof. Glad you liked it :) Please do like, share & subscribe.
Thanks for this I am about to tackle this project and this is very helpful. Appreciate the time it took to put this vid together
Thanks - a really good video - no fluff, just instructions, experience, and result! Well done! BTW - I *love* that model - I really still want to get one as the "family sedan" to complement my 2001 XK8 convertible - which had a dodgy antenna mast, which led me to ... here! 😃
Thank you. Watched this a couple of times and was enough to help me do the same for my 1991 XJS 👍
Great 👍 Glad it helped 👌
Thank you. The antenna is huge! Looks like a Ham operator or CB radio antenna…hate it, but looks like your antenna is same as mine. I thought the repair shop screwed up and gave me the antenna off of a big rig, but I guess not.
Thank for this video. my radio does work. suggested that the Booster is the problem. The wipes if you are referring to the Auto, I found the same having a mind operating on it's own. According to the video handover book on TH-cam it is when the water is moving over the sensor is when it is detected the water. I notice that the window is somewhat full and nothing until I go over a bump. Or the wiper will go when I believe it is not enough water.
I've installed a new mast twice on my 2001 Jaguar XKE convertible. In both cases the mast was broken. The first step was to fully extend the antenna mast by turning on the radio. The broken mast was easily removed along with the cable. Remember the direction of the cable teeth. I don't recall if I removed the nut first or not. In any case I never opened the trunk.
Thank you for the effort you took to do this video... much appreciated,,, i can now start on my repair...
John James No problem glad it was helpful 👍
I have a 1994 XJS and your instructions worked great. The antenna retracts perfectly but it extends less than halfway. Do you have any idea why it would not fully extend?
Hi. It sounds like maybe the tail has got caught round itself as it goes round the cog?? Try giving it a gentle pull if it does not come out then I would say that is the issue. Hope this helps.
Buying one tomorrow and the Antennas Broke. Thanks.
There a lovely car 👍 Just keep on top of the issues
But what is the SIZE of the nut bezel? That's what I've been trying to find out to r/r my own broken mast. It's too large for the largest (1/2" and 16 mm.) wrenches in my set.
Use a crescent wrench like I did. It's not rocket science Jesus.
@@jessejames5825 And there is a good risk of scratching up the chrome/polished SS if you use one. Hence I prefer to use a socket wrench. tyvm
@@attygarland6909 a socket wrench doesn't fit it's only a 2 flat cut. A crescent wrench won't scratch the chrome unless you beat on it. Lol
Great video I’m about to replace mine today
Jag_man Tv Good luck 👍
