    I’ve been in this trade for 40 years replacing maybe a thousand clutches in that time . Doing some on my back but mostly used a ramp . Totally respect to you doing them on cold damp wet surfaces laying down and kneeling that’s hard work really takes it toll on your body over time. You certainly have my respect Kevin.

    Staggering! 40+ years in the trade here and I can't imagine a more difficult way to earn a living. Just the thought of climbing under the car with a 13mm spanner only to find it's 12mm - so you have to climb back out and back in again - would drive me insane! You will never be short of work that's for sure, I guess your overheads are low in comparison to a workshop, but boy you have picked a challenging job. I take my hat off to you.

    Great job you are doing there! I've been watching your videos for a while now. Apart from the fact that huge respect for doing this in the rain, freezing outside or getting blown away by wind I never understood how can you just lift a transmission to it's place like it would be like 2 kilos. I've had some jobs like this, but putting back the transmission has been a nightmare every time! I'm happy I saw that it was exhausting for you today also, because I was starting to feel anxious since it looked so easy :)

    Great job my friend! I have done a lot of things to my X-type, but never did such complicated ones. This video is twice as respectable, because the clutch was replaced in a winter cold weather and everything was taken on the camera. Special respect to your cameraman! Ages ago, when I was younger and more ambitious, I also changed a clutch on a FWD car in winter frost, but that car was far less sophisticated than a Jaguar. I was keeping the fire burning during two or three days, while I was removing and installing the clutch. You reminded me of my best times! Pardon my comment, I don't want to somehow offend you, but the only thing I would do in a different manner in your video, I wouldn't press on the suspension arm so bravely so that to prevent the arm bush from leakage (it contains fluid). I would first lower the subframe, since you had to lower it anyway. But you managed to avoid this trouble, that's why it doesn't matter much in your case.

Just thought while I was under there I'd sort out the oil leaks just got a small one left to sort which is the timing chain cover. I did get that horrible problem though that the captive nuts spun round but overcame that problem. Hey ho we live and learn. Anyway I'm waffling on again many thanks really appreciate it 😊

      @@WMCS I didn't want to cut into the car so I looked online. I found on a Jaguar forum a guy who had got a long 21mm ring spanner and bent it into shape. The idea is you slot the spanner up through the hole that's behind the 2 13mm on the support bracket to the subframe and guide it onto the captive nut if that makes sense. So I fashioned one myself with great effort lol 😂 got there in the end, not as good as the guys from the forum site but it worked. With a bit off fiddling around manage to get it on the captive nut and bobs your uncle. I intend to keep the Jag for a while and I want to keep the maintenance up it. I'll try and find the post on the forum site and post it on here

    Respect for your professionalism. Motivated me to replace my own clutch. What’s the clutch alignment tool you used?

    Noticed you cutting the centre out of the Insignia dmf the other day. I had the Vectra 150 F40 equivalent. Bought it as a cheap conked box with 20k plus miles and a rattling dmf. Previous owner drove it for 30k with the dmf clanking like a mixer and it did not grenade. When I changed it I could see why. No idea where the dmf springs had disappeared to, but what was left was metal sliding against metal ( hadn’t seized like that Insignia.)
    From memory I dropped one side of the subframe. Can’t recall if you left the box on the rail. Will go back for a look.

      Have a look at the full insignia repair on the channel. Sometimes you get lucky it seizes so you can access the bolts. Sometimes it just goes over.

    Isn't this basically a Mondeo?
    And did you edit out the bad language when the DMF landed on your ManParts?

    Very enjoyable channel. In your earlier videos when you are wearing all black, you could be called "The Clutch Ninja" :)
    All on cuatomers drives too, excellent work fella.

    Hi Kevin your video on the jag xtype clutch renewal was very informative. When loosening the wheel nut is car in gear and when removing gear cables is car in neutral? Going to change daughter clutch on xtype today following your video! Many thanks Micky

    Hey, What do you do when you see some joint rubbers are damaged or theres a major leakage of some oil? Or there's shaftplay? Do you just inform the custommer or also replace it (if asked).
