Save that Jag!!! Do a collaboration with JR, MWM, and Santa’s workshop… you gonna let a transmission stop you from having one of the coolest Jags EVER???
And the engine sounded sweet 👌
I see a lot of people swap a Chevy Ls motor and 4L60-80 trans to solve all those problems
Ls swap?😊
I've submitted a bid on that Jag. If he doesn't get it, Ill try :D lol
@@mikalnaylor damn… some heros don’t wear capes… or DO you???? Mwuh huh huh!!! (Sinister laughter, I think I messed it up but you get the idea… 😄). I’m definitely no mechanic but I was a huge car nut in my younger days. That Jag is freaking cool AF and in really nice condition.
Hi Randy....A quick heads up The ZF transmission in that cool old Jag will go to limp mode with a low-capacity battery which will cause bad shifting bad enough to cause an owner to panic sell.
So a dead battery will indeed put up a trouble code in the same way as BMW's go to "transmission protection" mode.
yeah, i have seen a lot of cars throw up a couple error codes, to even 30 on obd scanner, and after a new battery it fixes itself
The Supercharged ones have the Mercedes w5a580 much better transmission
Came here to say this, a bad battery can cause all sorts of issues with these.
@@Staple_Mouse So true! low voltage can send them haywire
Wow that’s wild…
Save the Jag , there’s a drain hole in the fuel cap that’s blocked 👍🏼
That’s a xj super v8. It has the supercharged engine along with the lwb and features like the Vanden plas. It’s pretty rare.
This isn't the Super V8 model. That would have more plush seating and chrome everywhere on the outside including grill surround and bootlid trim. The grille surround would also be fluted or rippled and not plain. It would also have matchwood inlays in the walnut dash and door trims and the steering wheel vinyl would be matched to the transmission tunnel vinyl trim. These are XJR specific wheels and the steering wheel is embossed with XJR on the horn pad and black in colour as XJR standard. This is not a LWB car. This is a XJR.
@@jaguarladdie as an XJR owner, you are exactly right. And this is the top of the line. Better than the Vanden Plas.
Xjr is collectable all over the world, especially non rusty example. Really interesting to see if just a battary issue
That Jag is a good flip!
Yes to the jag!
Please, please get that Jag. I love those! Would absolutely love to see you diagnosing and fixing that beauty.
The Jag is worth picking up, it’s low production it’s fairly rare and it’s worth seeing if it is just a battery issue could be just that the fluid needs to be changed out that I found on one of the newer ex JR‘s or if it has a transmission leak, the fluid could be low, which can also cause a problem. Focus a little more in cars in less on trucks. Think you’ll find it more interesting flips.
Randy you know you gotta bring that Jaguar home!!
Very nice Jaguar and the only thing I see that needs fixed is the passenger door.👍
Please save the XJR Jag
Nope that’s mine
Agreed, save it. British junk but it's gorgeous. Some folks have put an LS (way too much work) but it's a cool car nevertheless!
In your Dreams dude
@MrFastaneco why is that do you not know who this man is
@@MrFastanecoth-cam.com/video/OTAXykiqsGs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=h9Gq4f8l-87GuJUj a bit old but it looks really well done. More performance oriented but a damn wide more reliable
Please bring that jag to the channel. At the right price of course.
Tray under the hood a a tool kit in the UK, storage in the US. Shock tower bushings just dry out and crumble, likely not mice. The supercharger belt is inside out BTW, ribs should be facing in. I had the same issue on my XJR, one key just stopped working. Restricted performance is likely an intake, vacuum issue or oil in the spark plug wells. Trans fault may be the electrical connector, O-ring wears out. Trans electric board is also a common 580 problem. Both relatively easy to work on. I have 3 all daily drivers, they are pretty solid with the right maint. Gotta do the timing chain guides though, upgrade to aluminum.
Transmission fault properly due to the auxiliary battery need to be replaced.
Just do it!!! Worth it for parts alone!
Get the JAG Randy it's a pretty decent car you can fix it
Absolutely on the Jag!
LOVE that Jag! You need it! Wonder if the trans fault is related to the battery?
The interior in that Jag is great shape !
The XJR uses the Mercedes 5-Speed Automatic Transmission which is absolutely bulletproof. The Engine is Supercharged and makes 390HP STOCK.
Man, that Jaguar XJR looks like a great project. First time I've seen your videos. I would be tempted to bid on it, but unfortunately for me, I'm in Idaho. It would be a 3,000-mile round-trip, (approximately), for me. I hope someone wins the auction for it, and can grab it for cheap.
If the Jag goes for a super cheap price, buy it. It would be worth seeing if the battery is the cause of the transmission issue. What a win it would be if the battery ends up being the problem. It's been sitting for awhile so it can sit a little longer until you have time for it.
Oh and the sticker on the Nitro is a pride flag sticker
Wow. I'm a Jag guy and I love to see the excitement here on your channel. Lots of good tips. The bushings on the front shock tops are common and an easy fix. If this was closer to me in VA I would buy it. Great candidate.
How many jags you have?
You don't need headache, but you need content, sooo...i'd buy it, if i was you, just for entertain))🙃🙃
Buy it!
G'evening Randy 🤠 . That ol' Chevy truck is super clean & would make for a great long term get around & work / tow rig. The Jag will be a cheap & nice sleeper & could be a Lotta ffun 😎
Buy the Jag and take it to British Auto Service in OK city. They could be your wizard.
As I`ve told you before, when they`ve had a dead battery, X308 Jags ALWAYS throw fault codes like that up, it usually take 3 or 4 run & drive cycles to clear them. Its unusual for the (Mercedes) trans to die on these, unlike the non-supercharged ones, & that one went straight into gear, so probably fine... That looks like a decent, honest one, I`d be all over it, as a decent one like that with no rust easily get £7-10k here in the UK, & the door can be swapped in a couple of hours, the immobiliser chip in that key is either dead or needs reprogramming. Given it looks like its been sat for years, I`m amazed the fuel pumps weren't seized, it wants to live & obliterate Mustangs again... Oh, & the cubby hole in the engine bay is for the optional tool kit.
GET THE JAG, YOU NEED THIS ON YOUR CHANNEL
Randy, Save the Jaguar, get the work done by a specialist. It would be a diary of steps back to heath and would be something different.
For me as a Brit in the Uk would be Mega!!!!! 🇺🇸🏴🇬🇧
That jag engine is going for 3k by itself. Just a heads up
I would save that Jaguar Randy! I think it would make great content. I agree with what you said about the auction process. They shouldn’t raise your bid like that.
Buy the Jag with a new battery the codes will clear themself
Buy the Jag! Buy the Chevy truck for sure.
If I win an auction for a specific price, I am not paying more. The goal for me is to pay as little as I can and if no one else is willing to bid more then that should be the final price unless we are notified it is a reserve auction then I probably won't bid.
What Robb said. If you can get the Jag battery to charge all the way up, you might clear the faults and be fine. I had one of these cars that a shop put the wrong battery in and it caused the trans fault. Took it to the dealer and they put a proper battery in it, cleared the codes, away I went.
Lol he always figures out what s wrong lol good find...get the jag for sure
Maybe I'll bid on that Jag. Nice spec, be a great cheapish daily for me.
Extremely rare car! Good examples run close to 20k. Please investigate if this is a California car which could open a nasty can of crap because of California emissions and California specific parts that could be unobtainable
XJR needs saving Randy, would be great for the channel 😉
That Jags just screaming, "take me home" . What a score!
Please save that jag !!
Common issues with these jags are the battery not being at the right voltage.
The car is definitely worth saving ! Looks in very very good condition
I think that jaguar is worth a try!!!
XJR is the mesh grill. That is a Ford V8 with a Supercharger. I have had a few XJ6, XJ8 Vanden Plas, but never a XJR. Trouble comes with the Jaguar but its like that girl you dated and you knew she would be trouble but no man can resist her charms until she ups and leaves you all alone.
Get that jag, i would really like to see what’s wrong with it. Probably electrical being a British car lol
I was working for a jag dealer when they came out.
They drove so nicely.
Bring that Jag to the channel randy. After all, it is a Jag.
The jag is the sweetest car to drive
Randy…we want you to SAVE THAT JAG!!
That XJR needs a new battery Randy, put one it and it will probably be fine.
Randy, I had a Jaguar of similar vintage years ago . Error messages caused by weak battery. Not necessary anything serious
Hide the working key under the mat.
I honestly do think you should restore the XJR Jag
Randy.........I would buy that Jag, even though black cars don't make sense where I live. The interior looks like it is in great condition. The trans could just be fluid or a valve body problem.......yes, Jags had oil leak issues, but the oil level in that one was fine and it just needed changing. The discovery with the key is incredible. You could walk away with it unless a collector has his eye on it. A cool project car. Isn't the cash value based on a stationary vehicle? You are probably the only one who knows it runs. The passenger door is an easy fix. I think some research on the truck engine bay fire might turn up a reason....it is probably a good repair/clean-up vehicle instead of parting it out. The interior is just dirt.
Somebody hid the key to drive down the bid on the Jag. Buy it Randy.
hi Randy, as your channel is growing fast and you hold a fleet of Cars, you really need a dedicated resource to do Your Sales & Marketing 😃
Really injoy your show!!! Keep it up!!! I love vehicles! So it doesn't matter what you show!
Love the green Chevy! If it’s reasonable jump on that thing! Repaint the hood and fix it’s brakes and ac. Perfect old truck! And yes! PLEASE stay clear of that three legged Mitsubishi! It’s cool but it sucks! LOL
Please buy that beautiful Jag!! I love the look of those cars! It will be interesting to see how much of a headache they are😅
Hey Randy, you know you want the Jag! ;) Gonna be awesome!
Buy that Jag!! worst case scenario is, you park it in the back yard and when you and Monkey Wrench gets some time, fix things a little at a time!!!
The Jag is a gift. It's 400BHP. When new, it was the fastest sedan on the planet. ) to 60 in about 5 seconds.) The restricted performance is quite likely the coils. That car is worth a good few bucks just in parts. Transmission fault? Who knows. I had two of these. I am not aware of a common fault on the transmission. It goes into gear. I suspect it is a duff sensor or something trivial, not something major. I suspect the engine alone is worth at least $2000. In the UK the XJR's are now worth $25k if they are in good order. Anyhow, as I am in the UK, it is no use to me!
There’s nothing more expensive than a cheap Jag. -Jeremy Clarkson
Clarkson can only turn keys not wrenches😂😂😂
Xjr not bad for a 400 hp😢 classic . That transmission fault is likely from the fluid not being changed . Who ever buys it would need to do the following
Cam chain tensioner
Coolent pipes under the supercharger
Upgraded radiator
Head gaskets
The XJR would be cool too have on the channel. Do a battery health check then clear the codes and hopefully the trans problem will fix itself. Probably caused by a flat battery. See it all the time. Trans also needs a service. It's a great find.
That is absolutely wrong on how the auction sells on high bid. If you end the auction at 1200 and no other bidders, the auction is supposed to apply 1 dollar over the highest bidder if everyone is out. They make up their own rules.
Save the XJR. Great content either way. A dead battery will throw loads of codes. Worth a punt.
That Jaguar motor will actually fit in your Thunderbird and that would be a great upgrade
Using the wrong key labelled it a 'none starter'! Hence the price! Take that mistake as a bit of luck and buy the Jag!
I love this series in particular, the x308 xjr, produced from '97-'03. I had 2 in black on black and when they are cleaned up they look stunning, especially in person. It's one of those things that doesn't quite translate through a picture.
I also had one of the next version that started in '04, the x350 platform. Major departure from the previous years was an aluminum body and frame for weight reduction and strength, active air suspension, stretching the 4.0l engine to a 4.2l, and ditching the ol reliable merc 5 speed trans for a new zf 6 speed. It was faster and more refined, but the old school x308 version like the one you looked at always got more attention than the newer x350 at stoplights and such. Common problem areas were the timing chain guides and tensioner before the '02 model esp. They also have the dreaded "hose of death", a rubber hose that carries coolant to heat the throttle body. Idiot engineers ran it underneath the intake manifold. Not a big deal on the normally aspirated engine, but a huge pain on the supercharged version in the xjr. It will go bad and you will be removing the supercharger to fix it. Loved my x308 xjrs though. Wish I would have been able to keep one.
The 493hp 2004 mercedes s55 that took their place 4 years back helped with the separation though lol. She's still my daily driver.
Get that jaguar done Randy. Colab with MWM would be awesome
On Jag: Restricted Performance is an innocent error code generated when car is in parking for a long time or in worst situation, a need to change the plugs/cables. Most likely it will clear when you drive it for a few days and normal driving. btw all that it restricts is you can't go above 3000 RPM, but all the moving functions are otherwise fine. That is, you can even drive it on highway with say 2.5 K RMP at 70-80 MPH! only no acceleration.
The Trany error code also may clear once you drain flush and use a clean fluid/filter.
But and this is biggy... Scotty says Jags are one the biggest money pit and Jag makers say: The must option when buying any jag is a Mechanician in the glove box! I guess you got it all. Go for it and enjoy the finest Walnut real wood dash you can find in auto industry.
Wrong battery or a flat battery can cause the transmission/restricted performance fault
You were looking at the front jump start lug when you were talking about it
I really liked that Jaguar, that green is absolutely beautiful
😅I have a 2000 xj8 with 22000 miles, yes less than 25K. I don’t want to sell it… It was my dads. any suggestions on how to PPF it? Was my dad’s and now it’s mine… Not for sale, just want to know how to keep it running and lovely.
I know someone with several tailgates off 2018 f150s. Brand new with the back up camera. In Terre Haute. Not stolen he got them from his job.
Yes yes yes on the Jag!!!!
You are one lucky man, you realy got that off , that car with over 100,000 miles on it goes for around 7, to 8 k , i think is a great buy and put a few dollars on it , your going to make a pretty good profit thats if your buying it good luck.
I would put a bid on it.👍
Everyone swaps out a Chevy 350 in those Jaguars, just because the Jaguar engines are an absolute bear to work on and parts are through the roof. The look of the car is beautiful. If you go back and look at a vintage TV series, that was "The Equalizer" car.
I like the silver Mercury Grand Marquis with the droopy rear end behind that Chevy truck you looked T after the Jaguar I'd switch out the air shocks for springs and shocks. Maybe a couple hundred for the parts, and an easy swap. It'd be an interesting installation video too - people love those Platform cars (Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Town Car) 👍🇺🇸😎
Take a chance on that jag don’t let that one slip by
Hi Randy just a quick note.the transmission will go into limp mode when the battery is dead charge the battery and clear the code maybe it’ll be good
Great!
Get the Jag!! That would be the best deal you have had!!
You should consider purchasing the XJR. It seems in really nice shape.
Not sure how long you can keep the pace up but thanks for the video when I wake up and when I'm ready for bed...17 cars now? Not sure how long you can keep that pace up too....haha.
Watch out for 1998-2000 V8 Jaguar XJs they had the Nicasil(coating comes off from the cylinder walls) issue, same as BMW. Go for 2001 and up, or the inline 6. I had a 95 Vanden Plas inline 6.
Last of the beautiful classic jags ♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍
I am thinking mabey it needs the transmission needs the trans fluid changed. The transmission level is checked via the ECU data port. Transmission is possibly a ZF Gear unit.
Mercedes gearbox in the supercharged xj's.
I had one a completely dead battery can make the restricted performance on it and What do you mean you don't have the time or money to put it back together it doesn't seem like it really needs anything besides maybe a transmission but you have worth
Come on Randy get that jag you've had worst pains in the rear like the massetatti
Lets work on the cars you do have and stay way from the IAA, but do get the Jaguar.
Why you pass up on the trailblazer there starting to get popular now😊
We had jaguars and they’ve been some our favorite cars and honestly most dare I say reliable. I had a 98’ XJ8 Vanden Plas for about 6 years and it was one of the most trouble free cars I’ve owned… and a 03’ Stype R it was modified it was fast and reliable… BUT brother owned a couple and had a few bumps. But all in all we’ve been satisfied. Have a 2014 XJR that has been $$$ problematic over the past year… fixing and selling.
I say go for the old XJR you’ll have fun if it can be repaired for lil money….
Randy you know you shouldn’t ! But that jag will go for nothing ! It would be interesting to bring to your channel !
25 bucks I would buy it then fire it up in front of them. LMAO🤣
The XJR is my favourite type of Jaguar cars especially the models made through the 80's and early 90's, a black one with the full leather interior and wood dash to me is one of the classiest long distance driving machine's ever built!
Good luck on the Chevy pick up that thing is sweet.
grab that Jag
