Arrow XJ40 MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures)

Just testing the membership's interest in participating in collecting data about your experience with XJ40 mechanical, electrical and electronic component failures. The factory won't tell you. I have checked the WWW - no luck. If you have discovered such a site, please let me know. If not, this forum is a logical place to collect this information. If there is an interest, would the Jaguar Forums permit it? To be continued.......

Welcome to the forum philipkoehnke,

I've moved your question from Jaguar Forums Advice / Feedback & Suggestion Center to XJ40 forum. The Advice / Feedback & Suggestion Center is for questions about the forum and not for technical questions.

Please follow this link New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the New Member Area - Intro a MUST forum and post some info about yourself and your vehicle for all members to see.

In return you'll get a proper welcome and some useful advice about posting to the forum.

Graham

As far as I know.....

Just turned 160k

The power steering hose is original.

I just replaced all the hoses as I had a leak under the intake All 19 of them.


Fuel pump and wiring is all original.

I replaced the shock mounts 2x with some a/m ones and they were crap. I just bought new shocks and they came with decent looking bushings.

The radio was fine when I took it out at 135k

The trans mount stil looks original but after 20 years all three are getting a bit old.

Though from following this forum for 2 1/2 years the most common faults/issues are

Blower fans/climate issues
Fuel pumps
Door handles

But honestly nothing really out of the ordinary ( I think) for a now 20+ year old Luxury car.
