Default Nearing 100,000 miles Tune-up Suggestions Please

My 2000 XJR Supercharged is nearing her 100,000 mile mark and I'm looking for suggestions as far as a complete tune-up goes. She still runs and drives great and I'd like to keep it that way!

Thanks in advance!

Follow the jag schedule, as a start

Change any fluids they "forgot" to mention if not done recently enough.

Plugs SHOULD have been replaced @ 60K miles as per Jaguar recommendations.

Here is the 'list' we were issued when I worked at the dealer.
I agree that all fluids should be renewed even though Jaguar doesn't 'mention' it. (Factory filled for the life of the WARRANTY)

For your SC oil, this thread should be helpful. Posts #35 & #36 are updated ways of doing it... https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...y-85828/page2/

You can get a transmission spring dipstick from ebay relatively cheap and be sure to pick up...a...if not a couple transmission tube lock cap clips. A lot of places on ebay have combo packs of them to include fluid and filter. I used the Febi Bilstein fluid in mine, there are a few others.

This video is pretty good and yes its the same trans (722.6), ...it is a very popular trans. So after changing the fluid, you'll want to do this procedure to check level.
