Default TheRock88's DIY Listing Thread

Hi Jaguar Group,

I have listed below in one thread, various DIY's I have created/published as it should be easier to find. Also, given the title, it should be easy to search for if you are looking for DIY's.

I have placed these PDFs on my cloud drive and you will have access via the links. Feel free to use, save, or print any of them as they are offered free, to help others. As I have more time, I will finish up a few other DIY's I started, and add them to this list as well.

I also have some other useful documents and information I will add when I get time to sort through and format it.

If you have any suggested items or requests, I may be able to add that here as well (if I have done it, or have the info).

DC

DIY List:

Default Great post!

If you could, please add the normal use of fuel additives to stop the injectors from getting clogged, changing of plastic pipes for the coolant, changing the water pump, and injectors.

Thanks.

This post is exactly what I was looking for when I bought my car last year.

Recommend the Mods make this thread a sticky so it never gets buried.

I used to do lots of my own maintenance when younger, less so today. I tend now to buy parts with the intention of doing the job then change my mind and take parts to a reliable independent.

I have changed the pollen filter myself, very easy DIY, can be done in less time than it takes to describe the process.

Nevertheless the guides posted by DC are a fantastic resource which I add to my collection of guides just in case.

Thanks

Awesome DC, still think we should change you your name to TheRockStar88

Your rear spoiler install was very helpful and the P7 grille install should be popular also.

I am hoping you don’t have to do one on a transfer case change out 🤞

Outstanding information and extremely helpful for folks that luv working on our cars. 8 months back purchased my 2015 R Coupe with 9600 miles. Very fortunate to have a Challenger lift, completed oil and filter change, Rear differential oil change (w help from you previous DIY post), VAP lowering springs, four wheel alignment (had done by speed shop). All with perfection and great satisfaction... KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK DC!!!

Since the topic comes up often, I put some information on Wheel Spacers/Adapters in a DIY format/PDF and the link is below. I cannot edit the original list, so will continue to create new posts on this thread with any additional DIY's.

Hope this is helpful.

👍 Not yet. Thankfully no need. But if/when I find the info I may put it into an easy to follow flow, or when I have to do mine I may do it than...

Take care,
DC

Well...Got it all installed and working....Now just need my next project Also for anyone needing the CPB (Center Balance Point) for lifting on a 2 post lift, I used a sample photo to indicate the measurements. This is for an AWD R, and I got weights from some other posts where people put them on scales...They are pretty fat! I got the formula from a lift company and have it as an Excel, and JS file. I put an Excel file on my Cloud Drive here if anyone needs to use it. CBP Calculator
