- My new Daimler XJ40 has lived a good life but the last couple of years its mostly been sitting. Therefore I decided to gro through the whole car as I service my cheap Jaguar XJ40. Let's hope I don't find any surprises.

Thanks for this relaxed informational video!
Great! Looking forward to the next episode.
Thanks for all your videos. Some of them has been very helpful. Although mine is an 1971 E-Type V12.
Thank you for watching! You have one of my dream Jaguars 🙂
Another good video. Looking forward to part 2. I'll second Mark Eaton's comment about 303 Protectant. Great product. I used it for 26 years on my Miata. Interior never faded or cracked.
I'll have to see of I can buy it here and try it out. Thanks for watching 😊
I love the xj40s, used to have one black on black, it was a beautiful car and it turned many heads. This video makes me want to buy one.
Black is a great great color for the XJ40!
You scored a really good example there Adam! That engine has been very well maintained and should run even better with the right plugs in there. My guess is those Bosch plugs were too cold compared to the Ngk which contributed to the carbon build up. Short trips and no highway cruising would also get them car ones up.
That engine should run forever now especially in your hands! Look forward to part 2!
The hose you removed looks good . Usually it is cracked. Check out 303 protectant. Makes hoses, belts and rubber look and last like new. fantastic product.
Good job.
I'll have to see if I can get that product. Sounds like something I could really use. Thanks for watching 😊
Always interested to learn about cars I don't get the chance to see for myself. Thanks.
Thanks for watching 😊
Very clever to clean the oil tube - not common to check it but it would be a pity to soar clean oil in that dirty mess ! You could have chosen a V12 6.0 to have the complete Jaguar V12 collection (and some rewards to your favorite part supplier and gas station !)
Haha someday maybe another V12
Pretty sure Champion spark plugs are the OEM for the XJ40.
Those cam cover gaskets, it`s worth putting some gasket sealer on those as it acts like a heat sink for them a bit, because the seals don`t fail that much, but what causes the leaks is the heat from the engine, it hardens the rubber, then oil starts to leak out.
The oil filler tube and hoses are worth washing out with either petrol or carb cleaner. they get they creamy gunk in them which is down to cold weather, not an issue with the engine, that`s why jaguar got rid of them on later cars and put the filler cap in the cam cover.
These engines are literally bullet proof if you look after them, if you do come across one full of gunk, it really has been badly neglected!
Nice job. Looking FWD to number 2
Thank you 😊
Very useful information in all videos for all jaguar lovers! Please plan a video about changing brake fluid and servicing the brake system on XJ40/XJS. Thank you for your nice work
Thanks you Petros! I will be doing that in the late summer or early fall.
Adam, I completly agree with you, whatever you take it off the car, then you should clean it completely. Looking forward to the next Vid. !
Glad I'm not the only one
thanks for the video, cant wait for part 2! i do enjoy how your other videos are a little more in-depth, just because i am very novice and need the additional help.
Suggest that you obtain some magnetic trays, they are God send as far as I'm concerned because they don't get knocked over sending the contents all overo the place; also useful for holding cloth's on wings etc.
They are great and I use them sometimes. I like these little containers for fasteners I might not get to for a week or so. Easy to put on the shelf and store
Think that perhaps you could do with a stronger white light cast onto the engine bay.
I'll try and fix the lighting situation temporarily. Will be replacing all the lights later in the summer
What happened to the second, and third part of these videos? The playlist doesn't show any of the other work that you talked about in your outtake? Am i missing something?
Would it be bad to put iridium plugs? Thx for the vid
On these engines I'm not 100% sure but on other Jaguar engines I've had they've always run best on normal NGK or Champion plugs
Living With A Classic thx for the quick answer. So it’s better to stick to the originals plugs and replacing them more often. I have a 4L 1990 sovereign and after battling with air con for three summers straight I finally had it working. I’m enjoying your maintenance vids a lot thx again just subbed. Greetings from France
Hope your AC works soon. Going to have a look at mine in a bit also. Thanks for watching 😊
HI! WHY YOU CALLED CHEAP JAGUAR? IT'S CLASSIC JAG SIR. LOOKING FOR EP#2 #1JAGLOVER.
