The shaking is driving me CRAZY! The CAR WIZARD fixes his '95 Jag XJ12 to get the smooth ride back

I've always found Mrs Wizard's off-camera antics pretty funny, but "are you done pounding on me?" gets the first prize 🤣🤣🤣🤣

A win for Mrs Wizard and her double entendres!

Great teamwork when Mrs. Wizard held Car Wizard's shaft while he whacked the end of it! "Are you done pounding me?" "Not yet!" eye roll

The reaction by Mrs Wizard was classic! Team player!

Mrs. Wizard nailed the classic eye roll when helping with the drive shaft. Way to go, Jenny.11:15

4:32- “I’m not going to DEE-LETE the magic carpet ride” Now I’m completely reassured.

That is one sweet Jaguar. Somehow these have much more character than the German luxury cars. Sure, Mercedes W140 was the king of the hill back in those days but while it was technically more advanced, it loses in the "spirit" and looks department. These are such beautiful cars.

Being in the Air Force, and stationed in England, in 1980 - my roommate who never had his license before, got it for his job, and then bought a 1970 Jaguar which was pretty high mileage at the time. We took it on the M1 highway and went 130mph and it was smooth as silk. I guess those are the old days Lol.

After running two XJ's you soon learn to recognise when something is starting to go wrong. And they always seems to be a new noise or vibration that drives you mad until you find the cause. Spare parts have never been cheap, and some parts as the Wizard has found are not easy to find. Even here in the UK, Jaguars stock of spares has never been good. Excellent cars when the are running well, but that doesn't last very long as they age, their refinement means that the slightest noise or vibration is felt or heard.

Kudos for mrs Wizard's contribution!

Done pounding on me!!! A woman with a sense of humor is a great thing.

I had a new 1994 Jaguar XJ12 and I loved that car, it had a Rolls Royce Interior. The only problem was the engine would hesitate at 155 MPH. It was the smoothest car I ever owned. Enjoy your XJ12.

Mrs. Wizard are you done pounding on me LOL that was hilarious

I feel old, hearing that they don't make parts for a car made in '95

On a Volvo 740 gl est I had my bearing went and a Mechanic working on a friends Transit offered to take it off and have it repaired and refitted the next day for me. The whole price £100 I was well happy I got back home 2 days later and it was all done, it drove like a dream and no squeaking as that was how I knew it was NFG. 6 months later it started again and the Mechanic had moved out of the area, Typical I took it to have it checked out and was told it was out of balance, whoever did the repair and I was told it was a shop had got it wrong. Another payment.

Nothing beats the ride of a Jaguar smooth as silk , it’s the long wheelbase that does it. In the production shop the drive shafts went on a Schenk dynamic balancer to make them run smooth. Same for the crankshafts they would be spun up and areas marked for drill mass out of the balance weight.

I thought it was a family show 😁

each time Mrs. Wizard shares a thought off camera, I jump out of my chair. 😂

My dad had an XJ6. Such a comfortable car, it floated along but it also had some grunt when you put your foot down.
