    For such cars, there should be a flashing dash warning light reading, "Expensive Repair Due Soon". So at least the driver's warned.

      Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. I'm not sure it needs to flash?........it could probably just be illuminated permanently?! Thanks again, it's very much appreciated! 👍🏻

    Wow. That XJS v12 looked in spotless condition like new.

    I hope too that the issue turns out to be the sensor. Looking forward to the xjr review as well.

      Yes I hope so! I'm pretty confident that's what it will be. XJR review coming soon! Keep watching!........👍🏻

    Jaguar headliners.... why haven't Jaguar gotten them right? They are expensive to replace, a lot of labor involved. Bad glues?

      Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. To be fair to them, it's not just Jaguar that suffer. It's a 2 ply foam backed material and the foam disintegrates over the years, separating from the material layer causing the 'sag'. I suppose the cars are well out of warranty by the time this happens? Hey, we all start sagging eventually! Thanks again for your support, it's very much appreciated! 👍🏻

    Thanks for the video!
    The Stratstone car. I have one in Copper Black. That front bumper definitely looks different to mine. Also Stratstone cars are only in a limited number of special colours and have Stratstone badges underneath each indicator repeater and on the nearside rear panel. I read that car#1 was originally registered to Racing Green Ltd who probably removed the Stratstone badging. I read that it had a shark nose fitted by Racing Green, plus engine mods and the button shift gear change. The original wheels are OZ Michelangelos, but just like your owner, I also have Detroit split rims on mine.
    My car also has the button shift fitted by Racing Green and button adjustable steering weighting. If you get the chance, I would love to know from the owner if the button shift works (because mine doesn't!) and how it is activated if it does work! Thank you!

      Thanks so much for this information. Very informative and seems to correlate. I know the car has some Racing Green modifications so that would line up with them having the car at first registration perhaps. I will certainly ask the owner about the shift button and if there is a way to activate it and hopefully help to get yours working. Thanks again. Always interesting to learn more about the rarer cars. 👍🏻

    If you don't use the car enough or lots of short runs the battery will not keep charged. It needs a run of least 10 to 15m to recharge from starting, I use mine once or twice a week and charge the battery 1 or 2 times a month to keep it charged.

    • @studiocarsofpreston

      Hi and thanks for your comment. Yes, I definitely agree with everything you say about battery use and battery health. Jaguars and modern batteries don't seem to like any longer periods of inactivity. Regular use or a trickle charger is a must. I'm amazed that this one has remained good for nearly 9 years! Thanks again. 👍🏻

      Yeah, I'm pretty sure a new pair of sensors will solve it......fingers crossed! Thanks so much for watching. ✌🏻👍🏻

    Sorry your sound quality is terrible when driving it’s a shame

    • @studiocarsofpreston
      @studiocarsofpreston  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I'm sorry it's not the best. I'm filming 'off the cuff' at the moment whenever I get a free hour so it's just my phone camera mostly.......I promise better quality is coming, I'm taking the relevant steps! Genuine thanks again for taking the time. 👍🏻

      What is the deal with jaguars and their sagged headliners? Don't you guys have very good glue over there?

    • @markrutledge66
      @markrutledge66 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Mine included I have a Ninety eight x j r

    • @MagnyCoors

      Keeping the cars outside in damp conditions and the effects of gravity make the liners sag. Over exuberant cleaning as well.
