    What a brilliant Video, Will. This is really eye opening and reassuring to people who might always go with MDs because of perceived security/peace of mind.
    I will 100% use Wraptor should anything go with mine. He seems like a fantastic chap and very very trustworthy.
    Again, fantastic video - well done!

    My injector went in cylinder No1. I thought the worst at first. Went ( recovered) to my local specialist job done. Easy fix.
    See you soon Dudley for a supercharger service 🤞

    Dudley managed to fix a couple of issues on my Jaguar xf-s in 2 days, I was previously waiting nearly 3 months for parts to show up and Dudley Ginn had it sorted in 48 hours. Handy guy to know is Dudley Ginn, gets the job done when others can't. He also done a lot of tuning work on my F-Type, good company is Wraptor.

      Dudley was great and I now understand why and what parts have failed. So I can tell Jag Dealer to sort their sh** out and get my car back to me.

      @tootalltodrive they are on the slow side when it comes to parts and repairs Jaguar main dealers. Plus the money they charge just steer clear when it's possible.

    Hi Will, I think your eyes are open now to the fact there is a fantastic network of specialists accross the UK such a Wraptor and dedicated injector removal companies. We often don't hear about them, as the garage will sub them in to carry out the delicate works on their behalf.
    A new car will come with Mfr warranty, but will drop to a JLR approved plan from AXA or ALA or similar. An indy specialist thrives on good service, technical ability and customer care, so you can see how your problems can be addressed and rectified in a timely manner.

    Hi the problem we have in this day and age .
    Is main dealers are basically fitters .
    Not mechanic's as we used to have .
    As HGV driver the people that fix our HGV's are fitters .
    Anything goes wrong you pay for the defective part fitted .
    And as of parts you may need say a fitment but you can't buy that you have to pay for the whole item
    Which you only need a part of .
    Gos to say fit the whole part , plus main dealers don't want labor intensive jobs.
    And the best way to get out of that is over price the job ?.
    Good luck my friend, hope all goes well and you get back on the road soon ?.

    Interesting but I don’t understand why you think the previous service was responsible for the injector failure, recently had my 5 litre F type R AWD serviced by inch cape Norwich and also include replacing oil in both forward and rear differentials , replacing auxiliary and supercharger belts , replacing tyre foam kit which was out of date and an MOT bill was£1060 quid which I thought was OK

    • @tootalltodrive
      @tootalltodrive  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It had a service less than 100 miles before which cleared the car to be no issues. So either the service wasn’t done properly or it was caused by them. Either option they f***ed up

    Sweet mother of God - are you sure they actually charge 4k for just the injector? I had an injector fail on my V6 a few years ago and the whole repair, parts and labor, were less than 1.200 Euros. In Germany. Apparantly, they managed to not snap the thing, but the injector part was certainly a lot closer to the 500 bucks you showed first in the video.

    • @tootalltodrive
      @tootalltodrive  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah it’s the snap, and then getting the engine out to replace which is causing the issues.

      I thought historically Jaguar did stress test models before releasing, especially as their biggest market was the USA, which has many diverse climatic differences within the country. So any short comings would have been picked up by the stressing etc. Perhaps pre-Ford era this was true.
