Living in the UK these cars quite often come up for sale, I've owned 6 of these over the years, soon to be classed as classics over here, my daily drive at the moment is an XJ8 sport, 20 years old and still drives perfectly.
I love these. This is the AJ6 motor. Very stout motor in all reality, this era had German & Japanese electronics- very, very little Brit.

I know these cars. That hose is for the heater core. It is buried under the intake. Go from below. It is a bit hard to access- there are two sections of hose there.

no the surging is from the intake boot tear the engine rocks to one side when accelerating thus opening the boot hole more causing it to cut out then engine settles back down and woof it does it again and again thus the surging dance
Water in the trunk of Jaguars are common, drains get clogged, and the seals deteriorate and the bolt fills with water and collects around the spare, my old s type r had the same issue.
If there’s oil in the charger pipe just put a catch can on it. Stop leak is the worst thing you can put in a car it blocks coolant passages and reduces the efficiency!
Yes they are, and I have one. With Jags you either get them or you don't and they aren't just about speed, or at least they weren't when William Lyons was around. William Lyons didn't introduce a sports model or a R model. Today there is too much attention to speed and very little attention to uniqueness and beautifull styling, both inside and outside, that Jaguar once excelled in.
I still think that is a score. You have really good instincts for finding the runners listed as non runners. Either way the content alone is worth 5 times the price of the car plus all the fun you get to have
I would spend money to get the original look of the car back in shape, other than that windshield.. This car could be a collector's item, and demands a premium price
Jaguar btw were one of the first car companies to introduce menu driven workshop systems, chap gets his car to work on the ramp and he goes through the tools/parts he needs then follows the menu like a cooking recipe then followed the menu in reverse to put it all back together again. The earliest versions they had a large set of workshop procedure manuals in huge ring binders and followed the repair or service procedure step by step.
Hello Randy my name is Andrea Vavrik. im a 82 years old great grandmother. I watch your show sometimes because my grandson aj watches it and He has this same car in Britain Racing Green in the garage now. He has owned it since February of 2017 and has worked on it so much that all of my neighbor's think that he's crazy. My late husband owned a 1996 New Jaguar XJSR convertible in blue when AJ was real young and aj he's been obsessed with these cars ever since. We've also had amg e55 mercedes bens and a silver Porsche carerrera. Theyre great cars once they are on the road again. Keep up the good work and Good luck Randy.
Back in the late 80's or early 90's I did exhaust work on Jags that had been converted to Chevy engines . They had Hydramatic transmissions and there was an adapter kit that made it possible to put a small block Chevy engine in the car. Since you have an abundance of small blocks this might be an option.
This is the last of the I6 AJ40 engines after a long run in production. It's a super solid engine with all the bugs worked out. the 4.0L X300 V8 that replaced it had a lot of problems initially. Count yourself very lucky, it's a keeper. It's worth whatever you have to put into it to fix the cooling system. Get the part numbers for the hoses and start searching the Internet. You'll be able to find some NOS if you have patience.
I had a jag and the trunk area can get water from the gas filler being on the top deck and run all over the place. They build them so mechanics can make good money having to take everything apart to fix things
Love Santa’s description of the car. He was trying not to say anything bad. But yeah they make them so it’s near impossible to fix anything or get frustrated trying to. Good luck with the car. Have a great day Randy 🏁🇺🇸🦍
At least you have a lift.I just changed my rear diff bushings,guibo,sway bar link and left axel rubber boot on a Bmw e46m3 on jack stands.With a lift I wouldve finished it over night but on jack stands I took my time and finished it in 2.5 months.I saved more than $2500 but I never want to get under a car again.
I enjoy both your channel and both of TKs channels glad you keep recommending good channels. Its. Really cool of you to help promote other TH-camrs. This goes to show your great character. Keep grinding dude.
Trick with Jags whether older ones or newer ones is that you take it off in layers. You should try working on a V12 XJ40 lol... bendy arms and bendy spanners, pinhole surgery but you take off the top layer and the layer of stuff below it and you have pretty much the whole engine easily in reach. Brave man taking on a used, bought unseen Jag lol However once things put right they tend to be super solid motors.
LOVE the Jag. The 95-97s are my favorite, where the new body style came out but it was still using the legacy Jag engines before the Ford V8s came in 1998. My father used to take me to car shows in his 72 XJ6
Restore her to her former glory and Jessica could drive it all day and look extremely distinguished. The CATS suspension might be an issue, depending on the condition. Great car to go to work with.
@@jean-marcandjoshua-petsjournal aside from rust which this is one seems to be fairly solid they are actually fairly reliable they don't have the Lucas electrics the AJ6 is very solid motor and if I'm not mistaken they either have the 4L80-E or ZF 4hp both very good gearboxes
Yes! It's a Jaaaag and if you think this is a tough to work on then try working on one of the newer ones. And don't buy a Rolls or you will get a bigger surprise. I've worked on the 6 pipe hose and you have to remove a few parts to do it properly. I don't like the idea of stop leak. Lots of mechanics are lazy and don't clean all the hose nipples properly when changing the main 6 pipe hose and that causes leaks. One of the most awkward hoses to change is the very short fat one under the throttle body under the super charger. You need a very small hand or you have to remove a lot of stuff. Good luck. With Jags you either get them or you don't. If you buy them for what they were intended then they are great. But if you buy them for a cheap fast car then you might be dissapointed. They are the most missunderstood car ever. My first car in the 70's was a Jag but even then I fully got what Jags were all about and it wasn't anything to do with speed. Grace Space and Pace. Pace being speed was the last thing on William Lyons motto.
Great buy for $800. Get it running well and replace the windshield. Don't worry about the hail damage. It would be a beautiful travel car. All evidence indicates the previous owner took care of this car.
What you're talking about is why I didn't buy one. I prefer classic American cars. Much easier to work on. Worst thing about all older cars these days is parts availability. Hopefully AutoZone or O'Reilly auto parts complains about it enough and lobbies government to pressure automakers to support aftermarket parts production. Us automakers could even make more money by allowing aftermarket parts production and sales.
I have a 99 XJR, and at least for the V8 version, I can tell you that if the battery gets even a little bit bad it will start throwing codes. Also they say that the breather pipe having oil in it is "normal", I guess since it's got a pcv valve running to it. How full yours is, idk. Some people put an oil separator can in line to prevent that. Not sure about the 6 cyl. but there's a lot of stuff electronically that started going bad on mine after 100k miles, sensors etc. Even the ECU will start doing weird shit after a while like not remembering your seat setting, not letting the fod open the doors, losing the fod programming, sun roof not wanting to close on the first try, motor randomly hard starting every week or 2, throwing traction codes once every couple months for no reason and then mysteriously going away. Stuff like that.
I use Lucas Oil Stop Leak, in my trusty not rusty Reliant Robin hehe stopped a weeping sump gasket AND a timing chain cover weeping leak and has been spot on ever since.
Those jags are great cars and definitely worth saving. Get it fixed up Randy and then you will have a great goin to town rig, I had to get a VGG quote in there. But I have had the pleasure of driving one and they are still one of the best in my opinion. Great job.
@@777jones No, 322bhp from the L6, the 4.0 V8`s were 370bhp. And its not odd if you know Jags, the 94-96 X300 XJR`s were all straight 6, the X308 V8 ones took over from the 6 cylinder from 1997 (initially that V8 was introduced in the XKR the year before).
I have a 2005 S Type 4.2L v8 sedan thank the lord. Incase of a dead battery there is a secret key hole at the trunk edge just left of the trunk button, in which you can put the Ignition key in and open the trunk.to get to the battery. and it's done 119,000 K and I love it lol
After almost a year I came back to the channel for the Jaguar. But once I saw the annoying guy and after advancing the video notice him with a pistol like a child bragging of his new toy, I decided to stop the video, post this comment and be gone for at least 2 years. Go back to Monkey Wrench Mike and Weird Beard. This TK is for no good. You should chose your friends better.
I had a Wagon jag hail damage I bought from the body shop I worked at years ago. I cleaned it up wet sanded, buffed the paint drove it for a year no issues fun car. Very very clean inside but was covered in hail dings I didn't care
Give her new plugs, factory spec oil & coolant change, hoses & belts, air filter & 93 grade octane fuel, and watch the Trac control give you a sphincter clincher moment...
25 year old busted coolant hose is not bad design or a reliabiliti issue. It´s a maintainance issue. With propper maintainance those are among the most relaiable cars of that era out there. Get familiar with it, Lot of info out there. Do the maintainance needed and enjoy. Had mine as a daily driver for close to four years now. 280000km and still going strong. Always a turn key and go.
This car should be brought back as close to original as possible because it is a classic Jaguar that will not be produced again. A well preserved example will bring good money from a Jaguar collector. It sounds as if your intent is to make it into a loud and trashy looking clunker in an attempt to get more views. To do so would be a shame! Put in a windshield, give it a good cleaning and buff, correct the codes, and send her down the road.
IF YOU FIND THE GOING INTO THE BACK OF THE FUSE BOX FROM UNDR THE HOOD TURN THAT BOLT OUT THEN THE WHOLE WIRING HARNESS WILL SEPSRATE WITH PLUG AND ALL WIRES WILL BE RELEASED IN A NICE NEAT PACKAGE NO CUTTING THEN YOU HAVE A COMPLETE WIREING HARRNES FOR WHAT EVER YOU NEED
Hey Randy, you always said you didn't want to sell a car back that isn't safe, or that you wouldn't drive, so I guess it's a good thing it happened to you since you have the skills to fix it rather than the next person who owns it! Otherwise.. that Jag is SICK! Great pick!
Not a bad Jaguar at all. Even comes with all the floor mats and manuals! Nice score Randy a clean up and vacuum on the inside plus new windshield should get it looking quite nice. Great video.👌👌
Had a 2003 4.2 XJR,aluminium body,for a big saloon it was rapid,...Got my first speeding tickets for many years as it was so smooth but deceptively fast !
If you want the rear folding tables you would need the Vanden Plas edition. I have had a few Jaguars and loved the Straight 6 and the V8 from when Ford owned them until India and the Tuk Tuk Corporation bought them. (Yes I have run out of all your newer episodes.)
😏shoulda went with the LS400 Randy, the UZ series under the hood is way more desirable & sells like hotcake, hands down the best cylinder head ever made theres a reason why those with such high mileage are so expensive, they run forever.
Normally we would change pulleys on both crank and supercharger. The oil in supercharger is normal especially if its been driven light and short journey's. Those straight 6 engines are normally indestructible we had one driven with no oil in for 25 miles and went on another 50k before the body was rotten.
Man I hate your losing subscribers! Hope you will get some back after they see that you gave WB a car! Most people would be happy to get any kind of car for free. Keep up the great work!!!
This is a diamond in the rough. For the love of God, please don't trash this. Please treat it gently.

I had a Wagon jag hail damage I bought from the body shop I worked at years ago. I cleaned it up wet sanded, buffed the paint drove it for a year no issues fun car. Very very clean inside but was covered in hail dings I didn't care
That thing is so clean, I love the rims. You had to know with any jag it wouldn't be a simple fix.
Give her new plugs, factory spec oil & coolant change, hoses & belts, air filter & 93 grade octane fuel, and watch the Trac control give you a sphincter clincher moment...
25 year old busted coolant hose is not bad design or a reliabiliti issue. It´s a maintainance issue. With propper maintainance those are among the most relaiable cars of that era out there.
Get familiar with it, Lot of info out there. Do the maintainance needed and enjoy.
Had mine as a daily driver for close to four years now. 280000km and still going strong. Always a turn key and go.
They built it that way so when something goes wrong, you almost have to bring it to the dealer and pay insane parts and labor rates.
Randy, remember when the battery has low voltage or weak . All kind of lights will come on on the dash .
Beautiful Jag. Looing forward to seeing what you do :D
It’s the hose. I suggest changing all the radiator hoses. He was really close to it just needs a better view from the top.
i owned the almost exact same car if you need any help on anything let me know
This car should be brought back as close to original as possible because it is a classic Jaguar that will not be produced again. A well preserved example will bring good money from a Jaguar collector. It sounds as if your intent is to make it into a loud and trashy looking clunker in an attempt to get more views. To do so would be a shame! Put in a windshield, give it a good cleaning and buff, correct the codes, and send her down the road.
Can you give us an update if you sold the car or what became of it.
IF YOU FIND THE GOING INTO THE BACK OF THE FUSE BOX FROM UNDR THE HOOD TURN THAT BOLT OUT THEN THE WHOLE WIRING HARNESS WILL SEPSRATE WITH PLUG AND ALL WIRES WILL BE RELEASED IN A NICE NEAT PACKAGE NO CUTTING THEN YOU HAVE A COMPLETE WIREING HARRNES FOR WHAT EVER YOU NEED
I love it when you start vehicles that are listed as a non runner.
Hey Randy, you always said you didn't want to sell a car back that isn't safe, or that you wouldn't drive, so I guess it's a good thing it happened to you since you have the skills to fix it rather than the next person who owns it!
Otherwise.. that Jag is SICK! Great pick!
Tk videos are so interesting each time I watch them I don't know what to expect or see.😎😎😎
Not a bad Jaguar at all. Even comes with all the floor mats and manuals! Nice score Randy a clean up and vacuum on the inside plus new windshield should get it looking quite nice. Great video.👌👌
Love these generations jags keep bringing more ❤️❤️ thank you
Had a 2003 4.2 XJR,aluminium body,for a big saloon it was rapid,...Got my first speeding tickets for many years as it was so smooth but deceptively fast !
If you want the rear folding tables you would need the Vanden Plas edition. I have had a few Jaguars and loved the Straight 6 and the V8 from when Ford owned them until India and the Tuk Tuk Corporation bought them. (Yes I have run out of all your newer episodes.)
That's a nice Jag clean it up and run it back through the auction and you'll get a good price for it .
Those 6 cylinder
XJRs are special, be nice to it please!
That engine was also in Aston Martin DB7
They have a 3.2 jaguar base but have cylinder heads made by cosworth .I have a db7 volante and a 1995 xjr6.i love them both
I kinda wouldnt mind just seeing you fix it like do a tune up, like idk some just old school channel vibes with this one.
😏shoulda went with the LS400 Randy, the UZ series under the hood is way more desirable & sells like hotcake, hands down the best cylinder head ever made theres a reason why those with such high mileage are so expensive, they run forever.
Thanks for the vid guys 👊 👍
These have a twin fuel pump system when they sit around the socks on the bottom of the pumps block up
Normally we would change pulleys on both crank and supercharger.
The oil in supercharger is normal especially if its been driven light and short journey's.
Those straight 6 engines are normally indestructible we had one driven with no oil in for 25 miles and went on another 50k before the body was rotten.
Replace the windshield then run it back through the auction before something else breaks.
Unless the supercharger hose is torn all you would have to do is take the jubilee clip and fit it over the hose.
Apart from the issues with the spider hoses there . she is a solid car cant wait to see what u do next.
That’s one great find,congrats,looking forward to watching this one.
Diamond in the rough for sure. Beautiful old classic jag! Bring her all the way back. PDR could be an option
Man it’s so cool looking from a distance. Elegant AF
Do a head gasket check. I do loads of these and that’s most common. You’ll fix one blown pipe and another will blow.
Man I hate your losing subscribers! Hope you will get some back after they see that you gave WB a car! Most people would be happy to get any kind of car for free. Keep up the great work!!!
