Thinking about buying XKR any issues?

I am looking into a 02 or 03 xkr and was wondering if there were any known problems, mechanically, elect, with the conv. top, suspension etc.?

Any info would be great these are fantastic looking cars and I had no real issues for 135k in my 1996 xj6 thats why i am concidering the supercharged coupe.

Thanks in advance!!!!

Early production '02's still had the plastic cam chain tensioners (pre Sept '01). Jaguar never fixed the top hydraulic leaks and now there appears to be a shortage of the hoses. Otherwise, the early issues were pretty much resolved by '02.

I would make the jump to the '03 for the bigger engine and 6 speed transmission.
