Bought my '99 XJ8 in 2002 with 21K miles. Now has 79K and needs a new engine! I have searched several forums and I now find out about this nickelsil problem which my car has. Doeas jaguar accept any responsibility for this? Do they provide any assistance in getting this fixed? Are there any official Jaguar sites that address this?

When we first got the car, I would move it into the garage after it sat outside all day. It would never start again. We had it towed to the Jaguar dealer who cleaned out the cylinders. The dealer said there was nothing wrong with the car. Our solution is to drive it around the block several times. Is this problem in any way associated with the cylinder wall lining problem?
