Video

Thanks again Eamo. Glad you enjoyed this one. Reggie and I certainly had a great time. I probably will do another compilation video soon. I'm liking your idea for one! 😁

@@jimmykneesall Instagram seems the venue for posts to get popular., I guess it needs editing ? Who can help you and Reggie get popular on the Gram ?

@@eamo106 Spread the word far and wide dude! 😀

Cheers Jason. Reggie had the eyes to spot you arriving! 👀 It was a cracking meet. Great cars and great sounds too!

@@jimmykneesall Yep well spotted Reggie, well done 👍

@@jason_wright007 👀

Thanks Carl. Glad you enjoyed it. 😎

Ah. Fantastic dude. That's great news. Really pleased that you were able to use my video to help get your car sorted. And thank you for your kind words. It means a lot. ☺

Cheers Eamo. We both really enjoyed this one a lot, and we haven't even seen the cars leave yet! Part 2 on the way soon! 😁

Cheers Carl. It was indeed a brilliant meet. Hope you enjoy part 2. Some still arriving and, of course, loads to watch leaving! 😁

Cheers buddy. It was a strange one on our car. Our local garage mechanic also said at the time that the bushes, arms, etc were all fine, but pointed out that the shock was the likely culprit. At least if you aim to change yours out with the aid of our video, you've only got some fairly simple steps to follow. 😀

@@jimmykneesall thanks for this m garage found a little play in the inner track rod ends thinking that was the cause and replaced them but noise still there. As links are cheap/easy diy i think I will replace them as cars done 85k anyway. Will let you know if that cures it!

@@clewis5220 Cool. 👍

Cheers James. She ain't perfect, but if she was, I'd probably never take her anywhere! 🤣 Definitely a tester of patience, but worth owning for the 1 day out of every 7 where she behaves! 🤣

A packed one, wasn't it Teemu? Some cracking motors on show as well. Reggie and I had a fab day. And this was only part 1! 😀

​@@jimmykneesallVery nice, can't wait another show😅

@@teemuronkainen4548 😁

Very soon pal. We did go to this same event a fortnight ago, so there will be a video coming. Maybe two. 😁

Cheers buddy. It's a cracker, isn't it?

Can't fault you there pal. It's an absolute beauty, isn't it? Me and my Dad were genuinely shocked to learn that he'd driven it to the meet. The underside looked like it had never seen the road. Stunning car and credit to the owner.

Which bushes are you referring to buddy?

Cheers Ian. I try my best, even if things don't quite go to plan! HaHa! 🤣

Very nice Paul. You tend not to see many in black, so definitely worth keeping it if you're still enjoying it. We're the same with our Capri. Dave's car really is very, very nice.

*Covers Jag's ears* Sssh. It's OK. Don't listen to him. I won't sell ya. 🤣 Sorry Eamo, but the Jag's a keeper for now. Too sentimental to give up. Besides, she's a cracking car! 😁

@@jimmykneesall HAHAHA Jimmy ! well answered and put me down, just like my sons! Its your Car and you do what you want! Jags are super sexy ! I tried to buy one in the 90s , a MkIII but had an M5. Your cars are your cars and keep them! I sold a very GOAT Boxster S cheap and have regretted it since !

@@jimmykneesall Jaaagg ! = Clarkson. Keep it brother !

@@eamo106 I know that my Jag would be worth nothing in terms of pound notes, but its fun value for me and Reggie is immeasurable. 😁

@@eamo106 Clarkson does love a Jaaag! 🤣

Cheers Stef. Really appreciate that. Yeah, I'm glad too. She's still a cracking car in my eyes. 😁

Nice one pal. Thanks for the advice. At the moment, the car is still running well. Fingers crossed, she'll stay that way! 🤣

Thanks Ian. I'm still holding out for it to be just a build up of primed fuel burning off. That's what I think the poppng and banging was when revving. She seems to be running fine at the moment, but will monitor as always. Cheers pal. 😎

Cheers pal. Never done such a thing before. At the moment, she seems to be running well, so fingers crossed. 🤞

Cheers pal. You're absolutely right. I actually agree with you about the bumpers. I think the black works very well against the blue. I think the wheels are perfect as they are though. Glad you enjoyed the video and seeing the car. It is amazing and Mike is a sound bloke. 👍

HaHa. Thank you John. He ain't too bad is he? He shows me up every time now! 🤣 Sadly, I'm working all this weekend, so will be missing out. Hope you have a great time and that you get to see plenty of cars. Don't forget to check out part 2, which has everyone leaving! Plenty more action to see! 😁

@jimmykneesall yes I have done, the Mustang losing it. Hope not too much damage. Off to see Nick and the gang at Yumcars in the morning.

@@johnjmc Cheers dude. Hope you have a good time. 😎

Hello mate. Honestly, I think these undertrays are a nuisance. They might stop some dirt getting onto the bottom of the engine, but that's about it. I think they get in the way of everything you want to get access to. I think my video is a case in point, especially with those spinning screws. If it's made of thin plastic, it ain't going to be strong enough to stop any dents. A proper metal sump guard would do that job, as that's what they're designed for. So, to answer your question, I reckon dents would occur if it was on or off, simply because of how thin and flexible the plastics are. Do you know if it's definitely the sump where your leak is coming from?

@@jimmykneesall yep. I was told by a mechanic who recently serviced it for a different problem that the sump was damaged and dented. I hadn't had any issues before it's last service. But since the oil pressure lamp comes on intermittently. He said it's weird that they would not have seen the damage at the service and that it's coincidence the error is only since then. The engine was lifted at service to change the cam belt. Just wondering if it could have been dropped as I definitely haven't run over anything. All a bit puzzling and frustrating.

@@82seabiscuit Seems it. Is the undertray damaged or scratched in the area where the dent is on the sump?

@@jimmykneesall not according to the mechanic. It's clean.

@@82seabiscuit I'd be approaching the garage. Seems a bit strange to me that.

Thank you Eamo. It is a fab car, isn't it? Credit to Dave for all the work he's done. Yeah, I'm definitely wanting to do more videos like this. It just adds another dynamic to the channel. Glad you liked it. Thanks again and all the best back to the USA from me and Reggie. ❤

@@jimmykneesall I agreee Jim!

It should be Mercury grey not Nardo Grey 👍

@@thecarguychannel Heard the owner say it was mercury grey. Thanks again.

@@G4RY1159 No that’s not original Ford Mercury Grey at all. Look online and you will see what I mean.

@@thecarguychannel Cross Wires here fella, I'm just saying I don't like or feel that car suits that colour, purely "IMO" it should be White or Red. ✌

I think David built the car for himself, not anyone else!

It's so nice mate. The video does not do it justice. Dave's done a cracking job with it.

Thank you Pjotr. Really appreciate that. It certainly helped me make a bit of a hash of what should have been a simple job! 🤣 Keep me posted on how you get on pal. 👍

Oh wow! Thank you so much for your comments dude. Really means a lot. Such a generous offer. I currently don't have a patreon set up, but will probably look to do so if our channel takes off. Early days yet though! 😀 Ultimately, the reason for our videos going up is to share the experiences. If any of my simple repairs help someone else watching how I do them, that's what counts. I enjoy making these sorts of videos and the enjoyment goes further still if somebody benefits from them. Keep me posted on how you get on with yours! Thanks again pal. 😎

I'm sure they'll have learnt a valuable lesson. At least no one was hurt, and hopefully the damage to the car was minimal.

Yes! Got you leaving as well dude! Awesome! 😎

HaHa! Nowt wrong with a black Mk6 pal. We've had one on our drive for a few years now. You turned up, so you deserve a feature. ❤

@@jimmykneesall hero

@@joestancliffe1897 😀❤🤣

Nice one! I bet you wake up the neighbours where you live! 🤣🚗💣💥

This meet was a generalised gathering of all sorts, rather than being aimed at specific cars. There certainly was a lot though, wasn't there? Some great stuff to see. BTW, that car at 12:30 was actually a Nissan Skyline. Pretty sure we saw this at the Inspired Automotive meet (Episode 182, towards the end). The only one I've seen in the flesh.

Good advice pal. Thanks for your input. 👍😊

Great stuff Rory. Thank you for your comment. Nice motor pal. 👍

Nice one Eric! Glad we got you featured! 😎👌

Fantastic! Thank you for your comments Amanda. Glad we got your cars featured! 😎

Fantastic! Glad we got you on our video buddy! Nice one!

Thank you pal. I will have to admit that we got lucky. As things stand though, the new O-ring pairing is still holding up and there are no new drips of power steering fluid on our drive! 🤣 To be fair, £600 wouldn't be far off what I'd have expected the garage to charge, considering parts and labour. It's not actually the most difficult job in the world though. It's all just the removal of pipes, nuts and bolts. I replaced the one on my Jaguar XJ6 X300 a number of years ago. It was leaking very, very badly. As long as you can get the car high enough off the floor (even on axle stands), you'll have room. A set of decent spanners and sockets, plus a big waterproof sheet to catch the mess, and you'll be away! 😁

Thank you John. I appreciate that. I was determinded one way or the other to get that thing off! 😂 The one thing that I didn't have avaialble to me was a tool to provide extreme heat, such as a blowtorch or induction heater. I've since boight the latter, and it's proven to be a life-saver. 😁

Thanks very much Stef. Really appreciate that. Glad you're enjoying the content and that it's inspiring you to work on your X300! 😁 To be honest, I'm surprised yours are missing altogether. I would have thought these were compulsory, given that the poor condition of mine resulted in it failing the MOT. Do yours have the holes in the control arm and anti-roll bar to fit them?

Thanks very much pal. Really appreciate the comments. 😀 I've owned mine for over 10 years now. It's my second. Both have been Manual gearboxes, so quite rare. The X300 is a cracking car, isn't it? A very pretty design. Glad you're enjoying our channel. Thanks again. 😎

@@jimmykneesall oui c'est une tres belle auto...pas si compliquée que ca et passionnante...je trouve que la marque Jaguar est faite de beaucoup de tres beaux models depuis son origine... merci pour les bons conseils que tu donnes..ca aide quand on connaissait pas cette belle 300 !... Eric

@@vikingo5094 Agreed. Thank you Eric. If you fancy checking out something cool, watch "Episode 109" on our channel. Me and my Dad had our X300's photographed for a feature in Classic Jaguar Magazine! 😁

Thank you so, so much Eamo. Very kind words once more. Hope you had a great father's day yourself. I think it's really cool that you're recognising all these places we're visiting, given how far away you are now. Take care mate. Part 2 coming up this Sunday! 😎

@@jimmykneesall VERY local to me in the Miners strike when I was a Mining Engineer. \Quit mining and went to the Oilfield. I had no faith in the NCB or thatcher.

@@eamo106 Awesome!

@@jimmykneesall Car brother !

@@eamo106 👊

Great to park next to another! 🤣 Thanks again Dan. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍

Thanks Jason. Yes, I've since found out about its name. The owner happened to comment on one of my Facebook posts. 👍 Glad you enjoyed the content buddy. It was great seeing you. May the nice weather keep with us for a bit now. I was freezing that morning! ❄

Excellent Jack. Glad we got you and your group featured pal. Hopefully, we got you leaving in part 2 as well! 🤞

Thanks Billy. Really appreciate the kind comments and thanks for supporting our channel. Yeah, Reggie's car knowledgebase is definitely growing! 🤣
