Default Fix or Sell xtype 2005. New to forum

Hi there, I have an xtype 2 litre sport. Nice car, I have had it since 2006 and service it each year at a garage. It began cutting out under load and will restart. Also occasionally after a short journey it won't turn over although my battery has tested as good. A local garage has offered to replace my injectors for £450 and if my problems aren't solved they will put my old ones back in and charge £50 total.
I paid £5,800 in 2006 and reckon it is worth around £1500 now. In the last two years I replaced the dual mass fly and clutch and fluid pump and egr valve. The car has done 139K miles.
Do I repair or sell? Any advice greatly welcome.

Welcome to the forum Carrol Booth,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Corroded and/or loose battery leads have been reported as a regular cause of not turning over.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x-type-x400-14/ to the X-Type forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Hello, Carrol,
If you like the car, fix it. If you don't really like it anyway, well it.
Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.
