| Just purchsed a 02 VDP. Always heard Jags were expensive to maintain. Can anyone give me an idea of what I'm getting into for repairs? Nothing in particular, just, a general idea . Car has 42,000. Cost of 50,000 miles service? Radiator flush? New belts? Anything maybe you had serviced to give me a general idea. Do you suggest I stay with the dealer for servicing? How about oil changes? Dealer? Cost? Thanks all Michael | |

Now that Ford has sold Jaguar and LR to India, the Brits can again say, "TAH TAH"! to another British tradition.

| Hey Guys! its me again, i am hearing an interior squeaking noise when i hit a rough road or when i turn sharp corners in my building's underground garage. is this normal? i had a problem before with constant squeaking noise but jaguar sent my car to the body shop and that is now silenced. i truly appreciate you guys! Thanks! | |
I am currently looking to buy a 2004 Jaguar XJ8 with ~38k miles for around $23K. This vehicle was leased. I wanted to know if there are any maintenance that needs to be done at 40k or 50k miles (i.e. flushing the radiator, etc.) Also is this a good price for the vehicle. In addition, should I get the extended warranty and what is cover by the extended warranty. I am new to the Jaguar brand and would appreciate any help.

Replying to: kothi77 (Apr 15, 2008 6:33 pm) Go to autotrader.com. I think they allow you to put in three models in one search. Do years 2004 to 2006, models XJ, Van den Plas, and XJR, and up to 100 miles from your home. You will see that prices are all over the place (depending on whether it is a competing dealer or Jag dealer or private). You could possibly get a VDP for that money, and remember, the listed prices are before negotiation. These are great cars, but they are not selling well, so you can get a 4 year old $70K or $80K car for about 20, if the mileage is around 40K. Don't buy a car that doesn't have the manuals and everything that it came with from the factory. The manual will tell you all about required maintenance. If you are buying from a dealer, they have to do whatever is due. |

| Car is used only once or twice per month. Battery was dying so I replaced it. Noticed the airbag light stayed on. Jag mechanic ran scan and found the diagnostic error associated with the seat belt pretension - circuit open. He said he's never seen this but was advised to check the wiring harness as part of this unit and check for a crimp or pinch...etc. Anyone seen this and can offer advice? Thanks. James | |
