Default 1998 jag xjr

Hi, do you mean the xjr doesn't have the trans problem or the tensioner issue?. My has 148k, just bought it. Should I replace all the items talked about or how will I know if it has been done or not. Please let me know what to do
Thanks

XJRs have the more robust Mercedes transmission, the ZF transmission on non-XJRs is the sometimes problematic one. All X308s had the plastic timing chain tensioners, the only real way to see if they've been upgraded is to remove the cam covers and actually look at the secondary tensioners.

Hi bola,

Welcome to the Jaguar Forums! It's great to have you with us.

I have deleted your duplicate thread - please do not start multiple threads on the same topic.
