Hi everyone, i would like to say sorry for the time this has taken to get done. I started filming this in the 2nd week of Jan and its taken ages to get parts. Then Computer issues and then a few other things happened but all good and got the video finished for you all. I am looking for a new lens for my go-pro as i knocked it and cracked it but will be sorted. Thanks for sticking with me between video's. Hope everyone is stay safe. Oh and i forgot the do an intro to this one but i don't think it matters to be honest let me know your thoughts? Thanks again Chazz
Yeah the x-type Jag and another one share the same engine and some other parts. I guess i could add the jag to the channel as there similar. Glad the video help John. Cheers
Nice video, thanks. What about that circlip on the gearbox end of the driveshaft? How does that go in? Doesn't it get wrecked when you hammer the shaft into the box? Trying to do mine now (x-type, same shaft). Thanks.
@@ChazzCoombes You're right, circlip is no problem. Thanks. Done a couple of these now. Here's a time saver: Just remove one bolt! Take out the bolt which holds the front of the wishbone to the subframe. Loosen the rear wishbone bolt. Now swing out the wishbone, using the rear bolt as a hinge. This gives you enough room to pull the driveshaft, without removing anything else. Pop new shaft in, push wishbone back into place, tighten it all up and you're good to go. 45 minute driveshaft swap, that can't be bad!
Hi Chazz, Been a longtime watcher. Thanks for all your help. I’ve replaced my passenger driveshaft with the same exact one you’ve got here and followed the process. I’ve also changed both wishbones and shocks and springs. I went to give a test drive today and I’m getting big knock between 1st and reverse when clutch is released. Engine seems to be torquing a bit when going from 1 and reverse. No idea what’s going on and can’t work out why it isn’t working. Any ideas would be great mate thanks
Hi Chazz - really informative video and thanks for posting up. Really is a helpful guide. My Mondeo nearside outer driveshaft boot has split and instead of replacing just the boot by splitting the driveshaft apart, I am going to do what you did - replace the full component. Can I ask which brand of driveshaft you went for please ? I don't want to be doing this job again in 6 months because of some chocolate brand. I am a bit out of depth knowing which brands are good, which did Ford use even. Thank you.
Hi chazz i enjoy your videos they have helped me alot. could you please tell me the weight of the sliding hammer you used to get the drive shaft out because there is a lot of different ones you can buy now also was it a crow spanner you used to attach the slide hammer to. thanks dave.
@@ChazzCoombes I can see why you was waiting for parts now lol..I need to tackle my rear hub, Abs sensor ring gone and bearing :( haha.. That breaker bar seems decent, I had right issues on my mondeo with the hub nut.
@@danieljames2409 yeah trial and error i returned what i did not need, plus budget, lol. There rear suspension is the next job on the list. The braker bar i thought was gonna snap at one point if you look at the flex on it when i am undoing the bolt, lol.
@@ChazzCoombes Haha, Yeah I saw it bend, But there designed to take some torque, Over 200nm I believe, So it did well, What length is it?? Iv just brought a 30" hopeing it's long enough as sometimes you have to use an extender pole.
@@danieljames2409 just abit didnt it, lol. Of hand i cant remember. Not had to use an extender bar yet. Got a bit of scaffolding pole that works if needed, lol.

Hi Chazz, thanks for the video, it's been a great help in replacing the driveshaft on my X-type Jag.

Nice motor is the x-type jag. Was adviced that the clip is fine once back in place.

Nice job mate, but I'm going to give you an advice: you may remove before the fill screw than the drain screw (gearbox)
