Stumbled across this on Youtube. May be handy for anyone planning to take on this job.

 

Nice one Steve .........thnx.

 

Pet peeve of mine... it's pronounced Jag-you-are, not Jag-WIRE...like the video though

 

You probably wouldnt like it here either, its more likely to sound like Jag-you-wa to the American ear.

 

Yup, better!

 

Same as it's pronounced in England.

Great find, thanks for sharing. This is on my "to do" list for our XJ12C. I already have a nice new panel ready to go on.

I had read and re-read the factory workshop manual on this process a few times, but seeing the video makes it so much clearer

 

This is very well done, Steve.
I've taken apart an S3 in the wrecking yard and my own S2, and although there are a few differences, they're minor.

EDIT: Most notable of these is that the temperature sensor tube is below the trinket shelf on an S2, mounted in very thin, flimsy plastic, which by now is brittle and easily broken. Care is needed, not only in removing this tube but even more so in reinstalling its grommet like structure in this plastic!
End Edit

When I put my panel back in the car though, I didn't tape the duct to the side vents (needed a right angle pick to "coax" them on), they fit plenty tight with no assistance and came apart a Lot easier the next time (there's Always a next time).

I especially like the candor with which he admits he took some stuff apart that didn't need to come apart. He could have edited that out to make himself look good, but honesty and realism is way better and gives him more credibility.

Gotta fix the sound on at least one of these machines. IO've speakers and speakers, but, either jumbled or silent.


My poor hearing doesn't help.

I agree, a very useful video. I've saved it. but, hope not to need to use it!!!


So far my stuff works, almost. Last time out, nice warm air...


Fix AC this summer??? I've said that more than once!!!
Evacuate, charge and hope....
