Say Diddion, .... How far could you drive on a full load of Propane and how much did it cost per mile? Could you find propane easily enough to just launch out on a cross country drive? Was it gaseous or LNG? Did the tank occupy much more space than the stock tank? Was the car still fast enough? Very Interesting.

 

Hi Scardini 1.

I'll answer your question in the following thread, which you may find interesting: It starts in 2011, which was when I had my car converted, and there have been many updates recently (from me and others)

I've had my fourth owner Jag for less than a week. Lots of little stuff but work g thru one at a time. Its a 2003 XKR convertible that just turned over 80000 miles. Hooked and in love!
Its my second cat.

 

Mine is an 02 xkr with 52k miles. Black anthracite convert just took the tank out to replace the fuel pumps. Bought it from the estate of another Viet Vet. Just ran into this problem. also have others !!

Regardless of the miles, these cars are getting pretty old in years. I've found that NOT driving older cars exacerbates some problems, especially electrical and hydraulic. Once you get the problems sorted make sure you drive the car regularly. You don't have to beat it to death, but do drive the car.

 

With that many miles on your car would you care to list the major upgrades or repairs you have had DIY that have been done.

 

2002 XKR Convertible, 85,500 miles. Only have owned for 3 months. Loving it so far.

 

2001 XKR Convert has 45k (purchased May 2017)
2006 XKR Coupe has 29k (purchased September 2017)

So far, both have been running perfectly, knock on dash.

 

27,000 miles. Never drove it to work as I didn't want to leave it out in the CA sun and ruin my convertible top.

 

27,000?! What year car is it? Please tell me it's at least a '12. (was there even an X100 in '12?)

 

Just occurred to me that i am spending more time reading and posting than am i driving. So logging out until next month--drive time.

SWEET!

Drive that thing!

 

Buy a new top when it gets destroyed. Use it!!!!

 

103,000 kms or 64,375 miles. Had 99,000 kms when I bought it. Still getting over the newbie Jag owner glow phase.

 

130,819 miles on my 2006 XKR. Just finished a week long 1630 mile tour to visit 3 Jag Club Concours with 9.97 avg (driven class of course), still looking purrrrty. Ran great, no problems (and no tickets either ) great trip!

 

Nice scores, Bill! Nuts - I might have seen you at Waynesboro this weekend, but I've got to drive Kitty to Florida and back for a family thing.
