As the owner of a pair of Jaguars, I can tell you that the minor quirks you are experiencing are nothing when compared to the feeling that driving a Jaguar provides. The sense of exclusivity and the luxury of British craftsmanship that goes into these cars makes the minor drawbacks tolerable. That being said, neither of my cars have any of these issues, so I wish you the best of luck. The XJ6 is the grandfather of my XJL, and deserves much respect.

Hello mate, although they were built in coventry( just up the road to me) its natural habitat is over your neck of the woods. I'm fortunate to be the custodian of 2 of these, and i can tell you, they do not like the awful british rain. That dutchess of yours is a beaut. Over here theres 3 types of people that buy them, spivs, villians and self made scousers. Although i would recommend youmto watch an old t.v series minder. The main character all ways had them as his main car of choice. Bye for now👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

My daily driver is a 42-year-old Mercedes 300TD wagon, the most reliable car ever produced. I paid $2800 for it in 1988 from a local bank president. You couldn't give me an EV or new computer car...

Beautiful Jaguar! I have the same year, which had a similar oil leakage issue and had it repaired. I am very pleased and happy with this British masterpiece. All the best with your Jaguar's challenges and future. 🇬🇧🏎🍷🎶🙂

Not enough transmission fluid is the cause of car shifting bad when cold

Man have you had the trans, pan off may just need a new filter installed clean out pan and check for fine metal filings,if you have that means you have wear in Trans if not real bad continue by removing old filter do opposite installing new filter. Then cleantrans. Pan and mating surface install new gasket and tighten bolts.That might fix your Trans problem if not maybe the Trans fluid viscosity is to thick. Your wiring problem might be a loose or bad wire on the back of the switch,or a bad solenoid on door that doesn't lock.

When a Jaguar stops leaking it is a sign you've lost all the oil.

I just thought of something. A Jaguar is... british steel. Get it? 🤘😉

Worked in gas station in late 80s and early 90s in HS. Was in Orange County, seen a lot of these cars with chevy 350 swaps in them for dependability issues back then. They are a very good looking car.

This and a Porsche 929 were my dream cars as a kid...love this content Max!

Apart from the wipers, buttons, locks, air conditioning, gas gauge, leaks, and smoking, she runs like a beauty! (As long as it's not cold outside).

I love the car phone! Definitely seems like a fun ride knowing the limitations.

Sweet looking dash in that Jag❤

I love the xj 1968-1992 so much, I'm on my sixth one. Currently, an '88 Series 3 Daimler 5.3 V12. Don't mind telling you, I was sure a twelve cylinder version would break down every five minutes. In fact, it has been impeccably reliable, though I don't do big mileage.Yes, my central locking plays up like yours, but the solenoids can be adjusted to give reliable service. My all time favorite car, I refuse to be without one in my life! Yours looks smart, nice colour.

I've had an itch to buy one of these for awhile now and it's not going away. They're great looking cars and quite affordable to buy, I'm just worried about getting one that's a money pit. Thanks for your video on this, some great points to think about!

That is my favourite car of all time and you have it! Congratulations. By the way, I don't know if you still have the Saab but I have an amazing story about that car and why they stopped making them (insider info ahoy!). Great car. Loving this channel.

Cool car! Regarding the sticky switches, there is a KZread video from „living with a classic“ from Sweden that shows how to overhaul the switches. It’s a DIY job.

Nice! Just as cool as a Rolls-Royce. By the way... Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon? 😁

Is your Saub the same model HRH Diana Princess of Wales had in the 1990s?

I did wonder if you fixed that other leakage (not mentioned in this video)...the one regarding a safe reduction of cruising speed. PS: Not even german engineering was w/o flaws (well, especially in modern times) but u know, keep it alive and experience the occasional driving pleasure...
