Just put a Lucas lambda sensor in a 3 year old focus £33 Ford dealer was £188 so I’m taking the ford one back,as it was insurance if the Lucas one didn’t work . Very happy with Lucas 👍

Enjoy

I drove a Ser3 Daimler Double 6 in 1991-1994, most sensational ride and comfort ever.

That's what we all say to our wife

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, need I say more?

Yes, it's the same guy all right

Andrew Paul, also popped up in The Sweeney & Out..

The other bloke (the one who was asleep) looks a bit like Garfield Morgan - who played DCI Haskins in The Sweeney.

Yup!

Has anyone actually ever pissed themselves out of fear? I've used the old expression a lot, but can't ever remember pissing myself out of fear though. Or shit myself either for that matter. Is that a thing?

Yet two sheds gave him trouble.🤔

@@lewis72 🤣🤣

Amazing what can be done with a very long lens from a long way off to make a respectable gap look like a very tight swerve. But it works - it looks *very* close.

Overall I think the Italian and French film makers do better at car chases.

The continuity glitches of the busted headlights which right themselves in the following scenes are hilarious. I remember spotting it when I first saw it - as the full multi-part TV series rather than the edited cinema film which seems to be the only thing that is available on DVD.

That Jag is Christines hellish cousin - it repared itself while reversing 😉

It wasn't considered a classic when the film was made.

Mike James yeah

Given its vintage, probably loaded with electrical issues.

They were two a penny back then, probably rotten as a pair by then

@@paul1153 Mark 2 XJs were considered worthless by he late eighties.

It is not a Jaguar! It's a Daimler series 2

@@jacquenoir7876 Jaguar built them it's basically a Jaguar

@@jacquenoir7876 It was a Jag,the cat is on the radiator.

@@alexojideagu hi whats this movie called i want to watch it on kodi??

Weather it was a daimler or a jag, its still a "snuff movie" of the death of one of Coventry finest. We should open a book of reme erence

Yank here, but they where v12 right?

Haha it’s not ticking over outside waiting to go it’s still chugging away on the overrun 5 mins after the guy took the key out

straight 6 and V 12

@@junkman6456 god a V12. What would the Greens think of that ?

Someone doesn't know what he's talking about.

tl50camiva what’s this film called mate been trying to hunt it down for years

I think that is a Daimler Sovereign. Most likely those Leyland era cars would have ended up in a junkyard anyway from being more costly to maintain than they were worth.

Probably worth more trashed 😂, if they can find it

yes

@BestCanKeanRob2 it's a Daimler. Look at the front grille.

Clapped out, smoking as usual

There were 20 of them used for the scene

Dempsey and Makepeace probably predates this film.

Yes, thats what I thought too!

gotta save that money eh

Maybe to not contaminate the water with atf and motor oil.

Also it was a different car and they’d already removed all the decent parts.

@@jimbobjimbob8275 we didn’t have effin pollooooooshun in the good old days, what’s the world come to

+Isambard Chisilwitt I suspect the changes in wheels are because one standard Daimler was used for the more close-up scenes, and for the wider-angle serious driving or stunt scenes a second car, heavily modified by the stuntman with, often, American underpinnings with a big V8, manual box and live rear axle, hence the different rims, which look like Pontiac Firebird steel wheels. A lot of the old, very knackered Jags and Daimlers bought for film/stunt work were too mechanically temperamental to be good for much, in those days they very often only ended up as junk because of serious mechanical problems. There might have been a third car, the stripped car that went into the pond looked more silver than gold to me. There's a good chance the modified car appeared in more than one chase scene or film before it was done, with the American parts under them, they were extremely strong...

@@gosportjamie That is a 1976/77 registration and the film was made in the 70s. it would have handled like a pig with a cast iron V8 and not gone around corners LOL....and the definitive live rear axle was on the Jag or Daimlers anyway.

@@Witheredgoogie Not live axles. Unequal length wishbones.

@@gosportjamie I doubt that as good examples went for peanuts and who needs a Yank V8, when Jag's V12 is already in it? American V8s of that era were incredibly inefficient, with most having power to capacity ratios lower than European pre-WW2 cars.

@@Witheredgoogie Neither car had a 'live' rear axle. The XJ's rear suspension was built on a subframe which was moujnted to the body by rubber blocks.

It's a Daimler.....still registered with the dvla as pyf752r....a white Daimler,tho it's not been road taxed since 1986,the film was released in 1987 so the vehicle was prob written off as a result of filming.

😉👍🏻👍🏻 "I'm sure it'll look alright in the morning" 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Yep great scene, 'I think you've got it now Ted!'.

And the fact it's a Daimler

@@sirosis2576 I thought I heard them refer to it as a Jag......but lol.....haha

@@SimonWebbRCandModellingChannel Haha, they did, but they probably also call Pink Lady apples, Granny Smiths

Bourg - you are right he is one of the best. . Also Jim Dowdall driving the Jaguar.

Except they had too put a American V8 ford engine in the Jag because the Jaguar engines were so unreliable they couldn’t even film the getaway scenes because the engine kept breaking down😂

@@matty6848 You don't have a clue what you're talking about.

@@matty6848 You are a muppet beyond belief.That jag never sounded like a ford.If fords were so reliable why the fuck did i have to bump start mine every day

@@matty6848 That is BS and if they were so unreliable, they would never have been the getaway car of choice. American V8s in the 70s, were lucky if they could make triple digit bhp and weighed a ton.

Jim Dowdall, who played Richie the Wheelman, is a stunt driver and is known much more for his stunt work than his acting. Brilliant driving "except for the last bit - bit untoward".

The driver was the stuntman. Jim Dowdall is mainly known as a stuntman, but they gave him a few lines of acting in this. His name crops up all over the place.

well that was idea. Too getaway before the police even turned up.

I think he says "We've only gone and copped the bastards" as to the meaning, I think watching the film would reveal that. Generally that would mean "We've got them" and depending on context it could mean they have been arrested.

it was there for that unfortunately where there is demand there will be a supply still plenty in the classic car mags dont you worry

You mean Yosser Hughes, yes I think it was...

Jag.

@@brianmorecombe2726 Don't be a cretin, Jags don't have the crinkly grill. Magnolia V12 is correct, you are wrong!

@@sirosis2576 Oh you little knob.Whats your beef for about my comment? .Grow up lad.

@@brianmorecombe2726 What beef did you have with Magnolias comment? It is a Daimler and you know it is, so you were just being an annoying troll by telling them they're wrong.

@@sirosis2576 I just thought it was a Jag what does it matter what i said you t***er
