hello my name is andy im 23 years old and i recently traded my jeep for a xj12 it has a problem with the battery and the valve cover gasket needs to be replaced but its fully loaded not sure if they all came like that but has cream interior and the car it self is champagne color but just cant wait to drive it

 

just hope it dont cost me to much to keep up on maintenance

 

At 17 years old it's gonna cost you some money, no doubt about it. "How much?" depends mostly on the care it has received in the last 17 years and how many repairs the previous owner(s) shrugged off.

Once you get caught up it shouldn't be too bad, though.

Cheers
DD

 

Welcome to the forum,

Good luck with the car.

 

battery can drain because cooling fans stay on or come on when your not there,they are controlled by two relays hidden on left front (as you sit in car)under front bumper hidden behind panel,attached to inner wing also check wiring to fans for corrosion /overheating/ there is a modification kit from jaguar i believe
