#11 of 20 XJR 98 Repair by 98XJRmybabe Jan 25, 2009 (11:31 am)
I have just moved to the Arlington, Virginia area and am looking for a good Mechanic for some work on my Jag XJR 1998. Purchased the car about 2 months ago and been reading about some problems with the timing chain tensioners. Would like to have them replaced. And the entire car checked out before problems start happening.   New Jag Owner need Help.   But I do Love The XJR

Replying to: Kirksjohnson (Jan 20, 2009 8:09 pm) Interesting, sounds like it led a hard life as a rental! I have a '96 XJR which I bought as a Jaguar Select Edition car from the Jaguar dealer in Willmette, Il back in the fall of '99. It had 17k miles when I bought it and now has 122K miles. It's been the best car I've ever owned. Maintenance has been somewhat pricey but local Indy dealer has let me bring my own parts when I could acquire them elsewhere for less. I'm thinking about replacing it with a 2005 XJR, but only if the price is right since I can't hardly bring myself to part with the '96!

Replying to: freeoppressed (Mar 23, 2007 1:46 pm) hi, the best years are from 98 to 03,after 03 ford took over and mass them up,like what they did with the landrover. the ford took away the jaguar trademark from them, like the hood how it opens, the gass fill and the mascot , i have the xj8 03 till now I do not have one single problem and I am very happy with it Replies to this message: allojohn (May 28, 2009 5:31 am) angelis745 (May 31, 2009 4:12 pm)

Replying to: jovell (May 07, 2009 6:24 pm) Actually, I think you'll find Ford bought Jaguar in 1989 and sold it in 2008.

Replying to: jovell (May 07, 2009 6:24 pm) Actually the purchase by ford helped the brand. Most of us are old enough to remember the electrical nightmares of the older models. That's why Lucas Electric is called the "Prince of Darkness"

This is a novice question: I have a lovely 2001 XJ8, trouble free except I have no owners manual. Can anyone recommend where to download/purchase? Thank you.

Replying to: flonightpilot (Nov 24, 2009 9:04 am) Try ebay or call your local Jag dealer. Those manuals are most likely out of print but they may have some old ones lying around. If they do I am sure they would sell you one. Replies to this message: flonightpilot (Nov 27, 2009 3:49 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Nov 27, 2009 5:13 pm)

Replying to: flonightpilot (Nov 24, 2009 9:04 am) Here's One on eBay Right Now   Not cheap but if you need good info, maybe worth it.

Replying to: british_rover (Nov 27, 2009 7:10 am) Thank you. I had contacted the only Jaguar dealership in the Twin Cities, Downtown Jaguar. Not only were they rude but asked why I didn't buy a car from them and said it would be "weeks" before I received the manual and cost was $125.00+.   I don't mind the cost but their attitude I can live without. 'trying eBay now. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 27, 2009 5:13 pm)

Replying to: flonightpilot (Nov 27, 2009 3:49 pm) The one on dBay even has the radio manual, and a nice pouch, too.
