The dashboard is so beautiful!

More S type please. I have a '66 3.8 and videos are always helpful. Can't wait to see more of your restoration.

Yes indeed, more on s type, I have an s type too and I learned something new today. Tks

Wow that interior is absolutely beautiful

What a lovely vehicle, and a wonderful competent fix 👍

Cool video Adam! I love that you throw in the odd random video like this every so often. Keep up the great work!

Another great video Adam. I have a series 2 XJ6 4.2 which I’m sorting the AED and carbs on by watching your videos. You make everything easy to understand 😊

Hi Adam. Well remember that hiss from that auto choke on fathers '61 3.4 mod mk2. (1965 , l was 13 ) however , we never had to compete with the subzero temperatures of your climate ! Pretty certain , in the day wire wheels on an "S"type's were chrome and "curly hub" . Thanks Adam

Love the “technical term”…the hisser

Well executed and timely video! Spent yesterday afternoon trying to identify what appears to be an intermittent failure of the “electric carburetor” on my 1960 XK150. Not much information on these things. Thanks to you, I now know how the electrical circuit is intended to work. Would be super helpful to better understand the air and fuel circuits as well. Any additional you can provide would be much appreciated. You could easily corner the information market space on this topic with one or two more videos! Cheers!!

Nice MotoLita steering wheel on that Jag 3.8 sedan/saloon.

I've gone a different way and installed a kill switch in series with the live wire into the auxiliary carburettor. That way it functions as normal using the thermostat switch when on and can be turned off early to save fuel when not needed soon after starting with engine still cold. My old man did the same in 1963 when he got his Mark1.

Lovely car, nice to see that problem sorted so quickly.

Lovely car . Yes , more on this car Adam.

First car I ever got involved with in a fixing way was my Dad's 1968 Daimler Sovereign, the badge engineered version of the 420. Basically an S-Type with a S1 XJ front end grafted on, with a fluted grille and a 4.2 engine. Had the same red interior trim, only difference being the dash roll top was leather rather than wood. The reason I mention it was that my Dad's car had both the column nounted 3 position ignition switch (which was the one that worked when he bought it) and also the dash-mounted ignition switch and starter button. Given it was one of the last before being replaced by the XJ, I suppose someone had retrofitted an earlier dash.... Great video as always, Adam.

That sounds like a beautiful car. I always liked the Mark 2 based cars better than the xj vehicles

This was really interesting Adam I had not come across the hisser before thank you for sharing this Andy Allen.

That has to be the nicest daily driver i have ever seen.

A legendary car in mint condition. Great video!

Beautiful cars, back in the 1970's our local bookmaker had one, well he had several jaguars and a yellow Rolls Royce. The only rich people in working class areas back then were the Doctor, the Dentist and the Bookmaker!

THANK YOU ! Same carbs as S1 XJs so very interesting to see how it works when it's correctly tuned. Continue with this beautiful S-Type !

I done this to my S Type last year, well worth doing, and you can take it of choke much quicker.

Yes, more S-type videos. I own a 66 3.8S myself so nice to see one in for some service. Mine wears steel wheels with hub caps, so it will be interesting to see how you fit the wire wheels.

I have s type 66 3.8 auto. Awesome video. My windscreen wipers and hissser stopped working last weekend. My learning they share a fuse #4. Awesome cars. Any idea where I can get an anti-creep solenoid? Yes more s type videos please. Thanks J

Lovely car. More videos would be great.

Personally I like the look of the S Type.. For instance those little beaks above the head lights that aren't on the Mark 2 and that tapered rear end.. Brilliant dash on this car. Must have been refurbished.

Lovely car.

What a lovely old car - not a fan of wire wheels but that's a minor point

How funny,i am having trouble with my 68 3.4 stype.mine works fine but it floods it allmost straight away and causes missfires and then i have to remove and dry the plugs off.runs great once warm.have set it to the recomnended factory setting off 2 full turns up have turned it down half a turn and will try again tomoz.not confident tho.love your channel.love to see more on these carb units.i think theyre more reliable than the aed generally.

Great video as always

Nice video, thanks Adam...very odd seeing knock on wire wheels on front and 5 nut rear wheels 🤔❗️

de där var en fin jagga!

oh boy.. my dream car ;P

Video approved, click.

Informative and well put together video. Am I missing something by asking why choose a manual switch over otter switch as hisser and wiring are good?

Otter switch rubbish have one of these in family since 1987,its allways had a switch.much more controllable.

Daily driving wire wheels !! I hope the owner has plenty of spare time and enjoys cleaning.

We all have different definition of "daily driver". I guess it's more for going to the groceries store or a cafe once or twice a week, more than a one hour daily commute. In this case, it's a bit less of an issue I guess.

@martinhibbert1428

@@alexandrecouture2462 More of a weekly rather than daily driver then. Will look nice on wires though.

If the hisser still works, why not test and/or replace the ottet switch and call it a day?

Because they are prone to failure and owner wants the peace of mind to have a manual switch

Idle is NOT low it should be around 750, automatics idle higher around 1000.New otter switch and where are the wires ? YES YES YES more S Type stuff

@LivingWithAClassic

Yes it is low. As I said the tach reads a bit high every now and then. It is a bit low, around 550 checked with another gauge. Goes up to 650 when fully warm
