The dude is a tool.
I actually own 3 Land Rover - Jag cars. How much have I spent on repairs in the last 14 years?
Zero.
Absolutely nothing.
Try owning a Ford......a recall a week. Toyota? Well they never recall the car until you have gotten rid of it, so you were driving a defective car for years because it was covered up.
Why would any "gear head" actually want a car manufacturer to fail? Think about it.

His ridiculous click bait approach alone drives me nuts. I’ve pretty much stopped clicking on his videos because of it, but decided to for this one only to find out it was Jag he was going in about.

I’ll tell ya, this reputation problem has stuck to Jag like glue. Doesn’t seem to matter whether or not it’s still true.

I will avoid his click-bait, and instead spend my clicks on a picture of Abraham Lincoln playing his favorite Stratocaster, taken by Keith Richards.

Lots of ignorant "experts" still think they're living in the bad old days of the 1970s and 80s. The upside to it is that used prices are a real bargain! You just have to either maintain it yourself or find a trusted independent to keep it running sweetly. At the risk of tempting fate, mine has been running fine since 2018 and my only expenses have been fuel, tyres and routine servicing.

In the immortal words of Monty Python... "what an amazingly eccentric performance"...

This guy is an experienced mechanic, BUT he’s very successful at the YouTube thing because he sensationalizes a lot.

I've never clicked on any of his videos - just the titles put me off. I figure he can't be much good if he has to use such sensationism to attract views.

Much as we may not like the message, Jaguar as we know (knew) it distinguished itself with sharp looking cars that mostly performed well.
It has been a limited market business for quite some time. The historical perceptions of reliability certainly do not help the brand.
I think they have been caught wrong-footed with an all-electric strategy that now appears increasingly against market trends.
The real question is whether, after exiting the market for a year, they can regenerate enough customer interest.
Having driven a couple of F-Pace vehicles, I can say I am not impressed.
I think Jaguar is going to have a really hard time competing in the all-electric market with another "me-to" type SUV or sedan.
The non-F-Type vehicles already look more like Fords than the Jaguars of yesteryear.
As a Brit, I regret that the British car industry has been totally overtaken by Japanese, Chinese and German cars.
Even the "Mini" is now a BMW!!

He is a very experienced mechanic, but he is playing the YouTube game for sure.

Never been in an F-Pace, but they sure do look nice on the road. I see them quite regularly around these parts. Don’t see them as much as range rovers and land rovers, but quite often. Maybe the SVR version would do it for ya ;-0

As a 2 mini owner yes BMW owns them now and they have completely ruined the mini. No manuals and the 2025 model look more like a Kia soul than a mini
