I know some of the techs have mentioned air bags are one of the few problem areas the 04 and up XJs have, well i saw this one on ebay and was wondering if they all would look like this or is this even the failure?

Sitting on its wheels lime that indicates a problem.
Those arent the correct wheels for the car. They are base model 2004 wheels. Didnt come on the 2006.

 

lol i should have worded it better, are all airbag problems this obvious? and yeah i noticed the wheels myself, the 06s have the 18s with a lot of spokes standard...this place sells suspect cars on reg basis[:@]

 

No they arent all that obvious. Look under the car at the shocks. If you see them wet or caked with crud, indicates a leak. Sometimes the leak isn't enough to overcome the compressor so it stays level.

They arent all leakers though. If that is all that is stopping you from buying one.....don't let it. They are a nice car. I prefer your 7 personally...lol. Although I would get the XJ due to my ability to fix it. I would go for SuperV8 though. Nice car.

 

the shocks have come down in prices..

 

lol....what are they now? I got a set of rebuilts for $775 each. New were $1004 each.....pretty pricey no matter how you cut it.

 

i just priced out one front and it was 789.00 they use to be 1800.00
