Hello all... Pleased to say i now pootle to work most days in my new 2002 xjr. Bought for very little and in neeed of some tlc (sill rust, some other corrosion, and some rear end knocks). Justified its buy as saying run until mot ends then rethink but of course already want to restore it!
Hello, Jay,
Pretty Car! It's so nice to see one of these treated properly and not as if they're made of glass. Congratulations on your new ownership, and also for wanting to get it in proper condition. You won't regret that decision.

Just had a completely reasonable but still painful quote for complete powerflex install and v mounts. 2500. Ooof. I know the car was cheap but still. Ooof.
1. a well filled wallet
OR
2. a well filled tool box
The driveline/suspension isn't difficult to work on as a DIY project but paying for expertise on these vehicles never comes cheap. However, I do think the subtext of the 2500 UKP quote is 'don't really want this job but if he's prepared to pay it ......'

Exactly, well I'm not prepared to pay that much. So as there is a knock from the rear end. That's where I'll start. Bumpstops bought, arb bushes, and not sure what else yet. Doesn't look THAT hard. Ive been looking but can't find a full rear bush replacement guide. Also getting conflicting information on the powerflex bushes for the rear suspension. There is no xjr specific kit so presumably i can use the x308 xj8 powerflex kit.
If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.
