Hi, i am thinking of taking a punt on a cheap XJR - if things like bodywork/service history etc are half decent.

The reason the seller is selling the car so cheaply is because (in the words of the seller) :

"Once the engine is hot, it has a misfire at high revs. I haven't got the time to sort it out and all the specialists I've taken it to haven't been able to find the problem. None of them seem to find a problem but I think that's because they don't test drive it long enough. Had the catalytic converters and lambda sensors replaced a few months ago"

I would assume that if the car has been to several specialist, they must have checked coil packs??

Does anyone know if this sounds like a terminal/expensive problem?

The registration is M263 YUD - On the off chance that someone might know the car.

Thanks.

 

I perhaps should have mentioned that the car has covered 128.000 miles.

 

Perhaps checked but unable to positively condemn? Or checked when the symptom was not occuring, thus making it unlikely that a fault would be discovered?

Cheers

Second fuel pump, perhaps?
