Default Lots Has Happended Since Last Post (Sept 2014)

1998 XJ8
New rebuilt transmission and new rear main oil seal
Rebuilt rear differential
Replaced timing chains and tensioners (original plastic ones disintegrated)
New battery
New oil pan gasket and valve cover gaskets
New rear view mirror (original one leaking)


The car now runs and rides like new. Expensive repairs but the car is fantastic and only has 94K miles on it. Next year I'll get it repainted and new rims and tires.

Bill,

It's a 'typical' list of repairs but a big $$$ hit to do all of them together! Should be trouble free for many miles to come.

Bill,

Nice to see a local guy. I'm in Santa Clarita, and go through NP often.
