Help needed with "Lost" Tapes
JCNA and the Coventry Foundation have a partial set of the 1980s Jaguar Cars Inc. Training Modules.
These modules were created for Jaguar Dealership maintenance staff and used a now antiquated Dukane Audio Visual system. The content is very well prepared and instructive.
We have now re-mastered 3 of the modules to digital format.
We need members' input as to the value of these modules and whether we should invest in re-mastering more of the modules.
The three modules are currently unlisted on Youtube but available with the following links

Please review the materials and send your thoughts to Les Hamilton les@jags.org or George Camp scjag@juno.com.
Thank you for your help. There are modules dating back to the mid 70s but it is labor intensive to convert to a digital format. If useful to the Jaguar community we will attempt to increase this library. Kudos to JLR NA for making these available to the Coventry Foundation. We picked the two suspension tapes as they are a source of much debate on many forums. Please watch and enjoy and provide comments as to their usefulness----or not.

 

Well the links are obviously bad. We will repost the links once sorted.

 

Ok links repaired--

Can't wait to watch! Especially the P/S one since I just have been working on rack and pump last few months.

Note that the link posted has a space before the // and causes it to fail and not rselove to the video image like the two suspension ones

Thanks

 

Thanks Randy.

 

wow! very interesting instructional for those of us who are not engineers. Of course they deserve to be digitized.

 

Jose thanks but remember this was aimed at Techs not engineers!

 

yes I understand but the Part 1 of Suspension is definitely suspension Theory as it explains the different types of suspension engineering. I already learned a lot watching Part 1.

 

These are great,
Sign me up when your ready to sell them!

Bobmo these will not be for sale. They will be posted as general educational information full filling one of the missions of the Coventry Foundation. Of course Patrons of the Foundation through their gifts make this and other material possible. Please visit our web site www.coventryfoundation.org or join our private FB group at Coventry Foundation. That said the reaction of good folks here and other sites have made us conclude to press on for a few more examples. We have training tapes going back to the mid 1970s and some cover earlier models. Anyway coming soon will be:

AJ/11 Alignment Procedures
AJ/03 Jaguar Heritage #1 performance
AJ/04 Jaguar Heritage #2 performance
AJ/05 Jaguar Heritage #3 performance
AJ/12 Body Adjustments #1
AJ/13 Body Adjustments #2
AJ/14 Body Adjustments #3

So stay tuned if you find them informative.

 

Please continue converting the tapes, they look to contain all sorts of useful information. Really neat to see the video of cars when they were still new and being worked on at a dealership.

Not a criticism by any means, but did anyone else notice the grease or oil on the bottom of the IRS hub carrier in the first vid ?
Think someone got carried away lubing the car ? Guess I'm too OCD after redoing all my suspension !

Thanks for all the hard work saving Jaguar information etc before it gets lost forever !
Brian

 

AJ/04 and AJ/05 are now available on the JCNA YouTube Channel under Training Tapes Playlist.

let me know if any difficulties
thanks for the feedback

These are great!! what a find

 

Wow!

this is probably what the developers of internet had in mind. Sharing knowledge!!!!

Keep it up. I love the videos!

 

Two additional modules added to the Youtube Channel tonight. The Jaguar Environment Part 1 and Part 2. Wind noise, mechanical noise and leaks on the XJ6 and XJS.


Provided by Coventry Foundation and JCNA.

 

excellent information in these modules. Thank you.

 

These are brilliant... I will watch these over & over.

 

I'm so happy to see this...
I ended up with quite a few of the tapes several years ago. I had intended on having them converted to disk, but this way is so much better!
Thanks Coventry Foundation and JCNA for making those!
David

 

Hello David,

Thank you

Do you have the film strips to accompany the audio tapes? Would consider helping us fill some of the gaps in the Coventry Foundation collection by lending Coventry Foundation the audio tapes? We would return them after we have converted and posted them.

Thanks
----les H---

 

Les... Of course I'd be glad to send you what I have.... It'd be a privilege to do so.. I don't have the film strips as far as I can recall...
I do have a lot of the old Factory training info...
If you want to email me ~ david@everydayxj.com ~ I'll be glad to talk to you about the easiest way for me to get them to the Foundation.
Cheers
David
