Interested in a 02 sport
Hey there X308 forum.
There is a really nice xj8 sport online near me and I'm really thinking of go to check it out.
I have had 2, x300 xjr's and xj40 v12, x350. so this would be the one that hasn't been tested for me yet.
I know more or less the same rear end as the x306, and body, tweaked front end.
but a whole different electrical animal. plus a v8 haha.
Id love to get some check out advice. and love and hate stories of your own cars.
I loved my x300. so I'm sure it won't be that much of a change.
It has my favorite XJ rims that are on the early XJR cars.
I know if I go see I'm going to come home with it.

Bad bits, the gearbox, the plastic timing chain tensioners and plastic thermostat tower.
Good bits the trans go valve kit to sort the trans, replacement metal tensioners and tower.
Earlier cars had other issues to add like a bad waterpump, nikasil engine liner coating, high sulphur fuel being it's criptonite.
Those are the main ones that bring owners to the forum in search of help - a smart move is to know what has been addressed and what hasn't if you go see the car.
Good luck!
