Cement Truck Roll Over Crash (no audio)
Переглядів 15 тис.2 роки тому
I caught this cement truck rolling over and crashing on my dash cam. The driver tried to take the turn too fast. After the crash I pulled into the center lane to help. We got the driver out by kicking out the windshield. He was injured, but it didn't look serious. We helped him to the side of the road and a nurse who saw the accident attended to him until the ambulance arrived.
$15,000 to fix my engine??? No turning back now! (Part 2)
Переглядів 8333 роки тому
This is part two of my engine repair saga. The engine on my 2010 Jaguar XKR lost a valve seat and the dealer wanted over $15,000 to fix it. I'm going to fix it on my own. In this video I look into the cylinder with a borescope and then remove the intercooler, the throttle body, and the supercharger.
The Dealer Wants $15,000 to Fix My Engine!!! (Lets see if I can fix it myself. Part 1)
Переглядів 9183 роки тому
I had to get my 2010 XKR towed to the dealer because it started running very roughly and went into restricted performance mode. The Jag dealer said one of the valve seats had come loose and there was no compression on one of the cylinders. He quoted me over $14,000 just for the labor to do the repair. That didn't include any parts. This is my attempt to fix it on my own. And yeah... I know my g...

How to Remove the Rear Quarter Window in a Jaguar XK Coupe

This video shows how to remove that little window in the back seat. After I got my XKR I spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to roll down that damn window. I finally realized it DOESN'T roll down. But it takes about a minute to remove it. By the way, I removed my windows to tint them. It makes it 1000 times easier than doing it in the car.

    I got a question with the factory cassette radio you have there I have the same one. The volume control knob does not work properly anymore on the system it does however go up and down from the steering wheel. But with all of that being said I have no sound coming out of the back subwoofer. The speaker vibrates but there's no sound coming out of it. Can this be all a problem that the radio just needs to be replaced? I see them on eBay for an average of $150 I don't want to put no fancy Bluetooth in it or anything upgraded I just want one that'll work just like the one that's in the car now. I'm a stickler for keeping cars original anyway. Any knowledge would help if you believe that the radio just is not working anymore internally. Front speakers have sound by the way. I tried all the fade front back left right and I don't think it's a premium sound. Triangular speakers on the door to say Alpine. That's about it for the knowledge that I have and what it is doing.

    • @sam1174
      @sam1174 2 місяці тому

      If you have vibration from the speaker but no sound, I think you have a bad speaker. The speaker cone is probably damaged. The radio is sending a signal to the speaker, but the speaker just isn't turning it into sound.

    • @sam1174
      @sam1174 4 місяці тому

      Try using a nail rather than a pen. The plastic in the pen is probably getting bent. A nail won't bend. You probably have a bad shift solenoid or a bad switch at the brake pedal. Do your brake lights work? Does your cruise control work? If either of those aren't working, the microswitch at the brake pedal is probably bad. If that's not the problem, then the solenoid in the center console that releases the shift lever is probably bad.

      @sam1174 4 місяці тому

      @@hanaresp617 Ah... it sounds like the solenoid might be sticking. The solenoid is getting the electrical signal, but it's taking a few seconds to start moving. A solenoid is really just an electromagnet with a spring-loaded rod in the middle of it. The rod moves when electricity is applied to the magnet, and when electricity is removed the spring pushes it back to it's normal position. I don't know how to open up the center console and my wife no longer owns her Mazda 3 so I can't go look. But I bet there's a video on UA-cam or instructions on the internet that explain how to replace the shift solenoid. Before replacing it, just try spraying it with some WD-40 and see of that loosens it up. I try to respond to all of the comments on my videos. I get a notification whenever someone comments, and I really like the feedback. I'm glad my video helped.

    I ran across this video many years ago and it helped me, greatly, sorry i did not tell you then. At the time, sometimes when i dropped the drivers window it would also drop the rear quarter windows. No one seemed to know why. Your video showed me how to work around the issue. I have a 2003 xk8 conv. When i bought it 13 years ago, it would intermittently give me a "hood not latched" message, when top was up and latched, so unrelated to trying to operate the top. When i bought the car this was not mentioned. When it happened i was not to concerned since i thought the "hood" covered the engine, doh! The "hood not latched" message (randomly appears well after normal top raising operation) usually clears by the next day. Question: Is there any simple way to reset/force it go way? When the message is displayed on the message center the top can not be lowered with the top up/down switch. However, if you hit the top down button, the rear quarter widows drop. Again this video was also the fix to get the rear widows back up. I am selling the jag but knowing a way to eliminate/reset the " hood not latched" would probably be helpful. I have lived with the problem for 13 years, but it would be really helful for the new owner. Sorry for the bother. Best Regards, bill

Jaguar got in a spat with whoever made the GPS unit, so updates were not available after something like 2005 or 2006. If you had that GPS you'd have to use 18 year old maps.

As a side note, I got a check engine code that states that the switch in the brake pedal for the brake lights is not working, Nevertheless, the brake lights do work.

      It's a little more complicated than that. It's been a while since I converted halogens to LEDs, but the LEDs had an extra piece that had to be wired in (a ballast or something). I had to find room to fit it somewhere near the headlight, and also mount it securely. So yeah, this is the basic procedure to access the bulb, but you'll probably have to make some modifications. Although, maybe new LED conversion kits have integrated everything onto the bulb. That would definitely make it easier.
