Very impressive work ! You guys are very talented craftsmen, to be able to re-build that headliner, very nice...THE SAD PART, all jaquar had to do is build it right in the first place, but of course like alot of stuff they build in the factory, very sub-standard. Year after year, those headliners came down, and they never upgraded, just took everyones money. Thank you, guys for posting this you do excellant work. Shame on jaquar, for doing the same thing wrong year after year without a upgrade. Great video !
Excellent step by step video! Everything detailed and right to the point. Watched this several times before changing mine. Helped me out alot! Just finished it yesterday. Looks great. I have a 1999 Jaguar XJ8L and am the original owner. Use it to commute to work for over 20 years and still going. Less driving now with the pandemic. Love my Jaguar! Most difficult part is all the plastic parts becoming brittle.
Hi Jim, Thank you for your kind comments and glad the video was of help. Sounds like you have Jag blood in your veins like we do. We run four S Types now two of which are the 4.2 R versions. Your right about the plastics - they don't really stand the test of time and you have to be real gentle when removing. Thanks again - take care Brian aka "The Old Man" JagTv
@@jaaagtv Yes! That's what I like about Jaguars. Elegance and powerful at the same time. Always been a sedan fan so not sure if Tata will ever do an EV version while keeping the Jaguar styling.
Fantastically helpful video guys. Did this today on my XJ8 and it went like clockwork thanks to your advice. Saved so much time and resulted in no broken or damaged trim. It’s completely transformed the car. No more Bedouin tent ! Many thanks !
I have oatmeal headliner for any XJ and also 2 cans of spray glue. Just did mine myself with the original liner. It can be bent back in. If it bends to much the contact glue will stick it to the inside of the roof.. Easy Peasey . £50 plus postage...say £ 60 in total . I have never done it before and it looks great..
Hi Brian, thanks very much for your reply. I've been onto Jaguarheadlinings and the one they sell on ebay for 180 total is different to the one they sell on their website for 255 in that it's an exact match specially made fabric from Italy they tell me rather than off the shelf fabric and it's more flexible although they tell me the ebay one will still bend enough to get in through back door. I don't mind as long as it's close but both the oatmeal ones of website and ebay look a lot darker than my light headlining and wondered whether it was just the light. Yours does look like mine though, so maybe I should just go for it. Cheers Simon
Hello jag tv I am a spectator from Germany and need their help I have a Jaguar type 4.2 v8 and the engine twitches that are so strong that the spark plugs have all been redone, the ignition cools all too Now I do not know how to help myself further I'll show you a video mine is just like that Many Thanks
Currently want to purchase a low mileage XJ 2.7tvi, it has this problem but is otherwise immaculate. How much would this cost me to do respectively so I can haggle from that standpoint?
I went through the same too sometimes. Try using the key to open. If doesn't work, no problem. Open the hood, and on the driver's side there is a fuse box with main + and - from the battery....jump from these terminals n the remote or door buttons shud work
You can put 12 volt power thru the cigarrete lighter and it will open the trunk, Buy a power pack, and change the battery correctly, The cars computers and radio need power 24-7. Thats is the correct way to change the battery in the trunk, and dont buy a sub-standard battery, it wont work, after 2 weeks.
Im wondering if you can help me. My s type windows all stopped working. All swiches wont work, worked fine one second then all of a sudden closed the door and they all stopped, Tried global close and open and they worked, did a hard reset, didnt work. Tried global down , windows went down and now cannot get them up. global close will not function now. Ideas. ?
Mmm i fitted a folding one from a (reputable!) Seller feb2022 already its starting sag! Spoke to company and they gave me a story about how they will do this because its not driven! I drive mine everyday!, not happy ,when the time comes ill the use GRP board and trim my own,cant do much worse
I've got an 09 jag xj8. The handles on the headliner above the doors say "airbag". Is it OK to still unscrew the handles and take them down? I don't see any other way to get the headliner down without doing so. Thnx in advance.
The headliner trim contains the side airbag curtains so care should always be taken when working around these. However the handles should be okay to remove. Have a search on the Jaguar Forums for more info as there will be those that have had experience of these before.
Hi Douglas - I don't have any contacts for American suppliers for the headlining. However you could try contacting the UK based supplier. They may be able to help. Good Luck. www.jaguarheadlinings.com Rgds Brian aka "The Old Man" JagTV

Hi Peter - Really sorry but we are unable to provide any form of external repair or maintenance service.

Hi Dale - I don't have any details of companies in York/Yorkshire who would be able to fit the new liner. However if you are confident enough to do it yourself with the help of a friend you will save a lot of money in labour charges. Have a look at the link below for the company that supplies the new liner. For the XJ8(X308) they are around £200 delivered. Hope this helps. Regards Brian. www.jagheadlinings.com/xj8v8-x308
I removed the intake, throttle body, and termostat housing. I replaced the intake gaskets and the termostat housing. I put everything back together and my car is running rough and wont stay on. Any ideas?

Not just Jags either. Many makes suffer just the same even newer models. The problem lies with the backing foam. It has "limited life span" built into it.

Good luck with the fitting.

To get a perfect color match, the console should also be recovered as well as the sunroof panel. Extra work, but the results are worth it...

Please do not worry about cutting the front seat or door while pulling the old headliner out..:-)

How can I get to the trunk of my xj8 without a battery
on the x350 there is a hidden keyhole under the rear lip of the trunk lid (boot lid). Just push your key up into it and the lid pops.

Showed everything but the hard part. Putting the new one back in the car.
Go to 6:20 and at the jump there is really nothing more to see. I changed mine too, and the new headliner with the fiberglass support is very easy to get in the car. Just like he says fold it in half, get it through the back door and you're done.
Why do so many Jag Headliners sag like in this video it's ridiculous
Not just Jags either. Many makes suffer just the same even newer models. The problem lies with the backing foam. It has "limited life span" built into it.
Wrinkle at front edge shows low quality at 7:55 and poor colour matching to the console. Looks like made in china.
Does anyone know of a more serious headliner maker than these sloppy guys?
Ours was manufactured and supplied by www.jaguarheadlinings.com/
