Greetings from Ottawa, Ontario
Long time JagLovers patron. I've spent the last 25 years in law enforcement, I was a mechanic (before they were called "technicians") in my previous life.
Ive owned several Jags and recently sold my long-loved 83 XJ12. I am the happy owner of a 1997 XJR6 that has been in my possession for 4 years.
Found this site while researching timing chain/nikasil issues on a 1998 XJR I am considering. I do all my own repairs, (and there have been many!) so hopefully I have positive comments to offer to these forums.

Welcome to the forum Super, I think that you will discover that the general consensus seems to be that if a 12 year old Nikasil car is still running then there shouldn't be an issue.
Tensioners on the other hand seem to be a must check/change item.
For detailed information check into the XJR sections.
