#2742 of 2773 Re: XJ-8 Engine Failure Mode [lzolidis] by annov Dec 19, 2008 (7:37 am)
Replying to: lzolidis (May 24, 2007 12:02 pm) Hi Jefk,   I have the same problem with my Jaguar XJ 2001. Initially the 'trac not available' error came once in a blue moon when i started the car but no it's getting more frequent, even when i drive slow in traffic jams. Assuming that your problem is fixed, what eventually solved it? Thanks Anno Replies to this message: denham (Dec 19, 2008 10:47 am)

This problem just about drove me mad as it had new plugs and yet this being the problem. I would be driving and this light would come on and I would only hope in making it home and fear of going any distance.
#2744 of 2773 STARTING PROBLEMS WITH 2000 XJ8 by rod1 Dec 30, 2008 (10:41 am)
This is ongoing problem. Only 36 k.mi. last year,went to dealer,they said it needed a fuel pump, they obviously did not know what to do. I never saw a Jaguar service manager who knew less than I did about Jaguars.Dropped them found a good mechanic,he is trying I am trying to help him. Perfect example, day before xmas. My wife is at home depot. comes out car is dead. Did not call me,she waited, after almost two hours went back in car,it started. This has happened about 12 times in the last year. Mechanic has changed lots of relays thru out the car the last one was in the trunk. We thought we had it. Three weeks. It sits at our house. Mechanic is making calls every where, looking for an answer. Anyone have any ides? Thanks Rod

Replying to: annov (Dec 19, 2008 7:28 am) Sorry for taking so long to reply, I haven't been here for a while. I fixed my problem by removing and sending the ABS unit to BBA remanufacturing in Taunton, MA. It cost about $150 and I have had no problem since. There is a known fault with the unit and these guys fix loads for all sorts of different cars. I found them on ebay would you believe. Check them out at www.bba-reman.com or call (866) 573-2740 Good luck! Allojohn

Replying to: rainman66 (Mar 27, 2003 1:41 am) I would like to read the reply to #1666 regarding potential xjs owners. How? Replies to this message: pat (May 24, 2009 8:29 am)

Replying to: bpeter (May 24, 2009 8:02 am) I don't see a reply to it (other than yours now). Since that question was posted in 2003, I'm not sure a reply would be very helpful now anyway.   Feel free to post your own questions, though!
#2749 of 2773 "computer reprogrammed" by eman5 May 30, 2009 (6:43 am)
I've been looking at 06-07 VDPs. Their Carfax reports almost always mention service reports early on that say, cryptically, "Computer reprogrammed" or "Computer reset." What's up with that? Is that a specific issue, covered under warranty?   Also, their A/C coolant gets recharged after a year?   I've read that Jaguars are more reliable now. Is that true, or advertising? Dare I return, after swearing them off a decade ago? Replies to this message: denham (Jun 01, 2009 4:41 am) k2usa (Jun 01, 2009 6:10 am)

Replying to: eman5 (May 30, 2009 6:43 am) I own my second Jag. and they have been more of a Sunday car and I have never had any major problems. One thing of importance is changing the brake fluid and is most often over looked. If it is a used Jag. I would find the owner, and if it were a Doctor or Lawyer I would back off or do some checking as few seem to have the time for proper upkeep .

Replying to: eman5 (May 30, 2009 6:43 am) Yes, I got a recall notice ('04 xjr) just last month. So they are covering it even if outr of warranty (105,000 miles- NO problems!) I would confirm that the quality is much better. 04 and newer benifited from the multi billion investment of Ford. My dad was a Jag/MG dealer in the 70's so I know well the quality issues of the past. Not so any more, I fully expect 200K + before my next jag.
