Smile deferential life

I would like to know how many XK8 drivers have had trouble with their deferential and at what mileage.

Thanks guys.

I was brought up to respect my elders, so I've never had a deferential problem.

On the other hand, according to Coventry West, a Jaguar differential should be trouble free for 100,000-125,000 miles. As always, your mileage could vary.

mine is within 400 miles of the 125,000 milestone without any hint of trouble or noise. Guess it could use fresh lube.

Mine died at about 90,000 miles.

The differential is the ONLY part of an XK8 that hasn't given me trouble.

I changed the diff oil at 110K , but not because of any trouble.... just seemed like a good time to service it.
