New member, jag owner since 2007. Had a sorely missed XJR6, high mileage, thought it would be OK as there was extended paperwork with the car. But a succession of relatively small but expensive repairs as well as preventative maintenance culminated in the supercharger failing, with the fragmented parts and shavings being sucked into the engine.

Only a donkey hurts his head twice against the same stone .. so I bought a 1999 with the V8. Unfortunately the cam chain rollers had not been done so I had to get that done under my stewardship and shortly after that the original tranny failed, got that replaced with the Merc unit.

So ...... fingers crossed, I want no more repairs for the next year or two ;-)

 

Welcome,

Some serious involved $$ in those events.

Hope that's all your bad luck out of the way for a long while.

Welcome to the forum.

Talk about bad luck.

I hope that things calm down for you.

Good to see you.

 

Welcome to the forum,

Good to have you with us.

If you haven't already done so you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome chaps!
I think the sooner one comes to grip with the fact that these jags, in particular the XJRs, are pedigree cars, with limited production numbers, with high performance and often unique to the model parts, the better. You are essentially running an exotic, without the exotic entrance fee. The maintenance fee will run very close to that of an exotic like a maserati or ferrari however.
At least at my entry point depreciation no longer is an issue ;-)
