Jaguar warranty time is approx 12 hours.(Engine assy.-change ancillary equipment and replace)

When I worked at the dealer we would calculate customer pay at 'warranty time, times time and a half'. (12 x 1.5 = 18)

A fair estimate would be 18 hours average BUT 25 year old cars have 'hidden-surprises'.
Be prepared for broken bolts and faulty parts.
