A good car, but keep on top of the main issue of the camchain tensioners. I would suspect your car is a Nikasil car, but as it's 12 years old it shouldbe OK.

Phil,

You should get a better response by posting that in the UK Region section:

UK - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum

Members often just enter their location as 'Wales' or 'UK' making it difficult to search.
