Hello I am a Jaguar lover. Having owned previously a 1994 and 1996 XJS convertible straight line six. Loved them both. Life difficulties developed and I sold my beautiful 94 Starting over I came upon a great deal for a 1999 XJ8 Vanden Plas. Absolutely love the car. Every single thing works. Interior isn't all chewed up and paint job still holding up, but will need addressed here in the next few years. I took it my Jaguar guy (35 years experience) as the check engine light came on and the car seemed to not be getting enough gas. First point He disappointed me when I put 1600 in fixing the sir in the 94 XJS and it still didn't work right. 2nd point I am blonde female, third point he wants $1000 to replace 2 oxygen sensors??? Could that be right. Seems way over priced to me. Any advice on???
Thanks Michelle
