A great video. Pity you are not in the UK, to look after my 2004 24000 mile X350 4 2 XJ LWB, a former mayoral car for tge Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London.

Hello Adam 👋. I just picked up a Triumph TR6, ever get into Triumphs?

Good job! The radio isn't connected as it should. Normally, there is a constant +, a constant - and an ignition-switched +. Otherwise, the radio would be on all the time.

A popular police car here in London during the 1960’s.

Another awesome video! I'm replacing the valve cover gaskets on my pre- He XJS. I saw in your previous videos you recommend getting the better thicker gaskets instead of factory original. Where can I get those better thicker valve cover gaskets from? I don't think you say where in those valve cover gasket replacement videos. like always thank you so much for all the great videos! Cheers from Lunenburg Nova Scotia Canada.

As dirty as a TV personalities conscience.

Very enjoyable video thanks Adam.

I am happy to see u back in the shop working .

Another great video 😊

Rust from an old steel can as has been said already, or rust from the underground storage pens the fuel is kept in when you fill up at a station, I did for a short while suffer the same sort of thing, just less rust, my tank is alloy and I don't use steel fuel containers, ended up being the fuel station itself, they admitted that several folks had same the same thing over a few months period so they called folks in to check it, sure enough the tank was rotten and bad luck saw me and others fill up when the tank was near empty.

I have one customer (a Judge) who always brought me his truck with almost no fuel, no matter how many times I bitched at him he still did it, the next time I filled it up and charged him for my time filling it, he never did it again. 🤑😁

If you get the car back with more crud in the filter, try an endoscope or a small mirror to see what the very top of the tank looks like. If the car sat for awhile with the tank partially empty, the upper part of the tank could have rusted and junk is falling down.

Should you move radio power to a switched supply so it doesn’t drain the battery?

I wonder if it's worth putting a small magnet inside the mesh screen, be easier to clean out next time?

There seemed to be a lot of rust flakes around the filler neck that might fall into the tank during filling.

I agree Adam, when you showed the rust in the tank and then it after flushing I immediately thought fuel from an old metal jerrycan that had been dry stored for years and then had fuel put in and transfered to the Jag.

What a beautiful car and paint colour.

I very much admire your careful and systematic work.

Well done

I feel like drop-kicking my su pump across the field. I took it apart yesterday to find a perished diaphragm and luckily I had another crusty old pump laying around in my spare parts pile that's luckily probably never seen ethanol, nicked the diaphragm from that and put it in my working one. Now I can't seem to get it to operate, I'm pretty sure after watching you're video that I'm not screwing the diaphragm in to the correct tension. I'll go out and have another go in a bit, thanks.

Adam, what spec did you tighten those camshaft nuts to? I see differing values in the various manuals.

IMHO you need longer ramps that 1100 grounded out.OR a lower system on your truck.

Nice story Adam. Lovely man who helped you.

You got one (at the time of this video) I have 21 I think there's 2 or 3 on the way . The engines can definitely be a challenge at the best of times. Happy Christmas in 6 month .

Great vid👍🏻

I have an 88 XJ-S that stumped me. It was giving me a condition where it revs high and starts idle surging once warm. Usually, this symptom is a bad aav. I got a new aav and put it in, and the same thing happened. If I run the car with the aav disconnected from the intake manifold, it runs smoothly. I smoke tested the car, and there were no leaks. When I unplugged the tps to see what it would do it stopped idle surging and reved high. Do you think my tps is bad or isn't connected properly

Great story - love what you're doing. and love that your lad loved the trip.

It's great to see you taking your youngest with you and great that he behaves. I love this transporter. I can't wait for more on this.

Hey! So I’m having issues with my series 3, every time I start it fuel spews out of the right fuel tank, I heard you can install a Tee tank kit but do you know what could be causing this? And what I should do to fix this? You’re my only hope!

Trevlig biltransport😁👍👍

Glad to know there are still some good humans out there! Big adventure for your son. Glad the trip otherwise was a good one.

Pobody's Nerfect!

Yikes! Loose lugnuts is a bad day waitnng to happen. I'm always like "wait, whaaa?" when I hear you talk about KFC, Circle K, and all of the other American franchises that have made there way to Sweden.

Well. This Morris with short wheelbase and good ground clearance gets its underside scrubbed when loading / unloading. How you manage to load long and low Jaguars on that thing without problems is still a mystery to me. I said this since you bought the car. As said before. You must be the new David Copperfield to do this magic. And as said before, I hope I`m wrong.

👍🇦🇺

Lovely story Adam. You won't let that happen again ! A lesson learnt .😊

Awesome that someone came to help!

Hi Adam what a heart warming tale to tell and the gentleman who helped you out is a star I guess with the lugnuts coming loose it was good they did not fall off on the road even with the best will we all make mistakes so don't beat yourself up we are thankful you had such a wonderful outcome glad the truck ran well I am sure your son enjoyed the adventure as always best regards Andy Allen,

What a great story , good people do exist

I found your channel when you helped Matt FD. Goodness comes to good people

You met an angel that day who came to your rescue!

Reminds me of when I was 5 years old and my dad would take me to work with him in his 7.5 tonne truck. The health and safety Nazis would be horrified these days...

Only goes to show, there are some good people in this world still, they're just spread a little thin in my experience! I think you'll need some longer ramps on the truck, I'm pretty sure the 1300 scraped its' bottom on the way down.

That they couldn't help you at the gasstation doesn't really surprise me, but that you asked 40 motorists and no-one had one in their car is just crazy. Most people these days just call the recovery service and sit and wait for them to come and do such a simple job.

You may find it better with the truck facing going up hill the the angle of the ramps will be less.

That’s car karma repaying you for coming out to rescue Furious Matt in his Volvo and fix the clutch back at your workshop ! Glad the towtruck is working out and earning its keep !

Hooray for the good Samaritan! How did your son do while there was all the uncertainty? Hopefully he was happy as a clam.

Roof rack of cases, Wife, kids and grandparents would all squeeze into an 1100 /1300 and head to the seaside back in the day! Fond memories 😊

Gracias brother
