#1 of 16 1993 XJ6 - Use Premium Fuel? - Other maintenance? by lizabeta May 24, 2007 (3:25 pm)
Hi,    I may be about to "inherit" a 1993 XJ6 sedan. I have been told that I must use premium fuel in it. Is this true?    Also, are there any other maintenance tips, such as tire, oil types to use and a general maintenance plan? I'd appreciate any help or guidance to where I can find it. I'm willing to be diligent, but need a plan in place!    Thanks! LB Replies to this message: cartroubles88 (Jun 12, 2007 8:31 am) lizabeta (Jun 12, 2007 5:14 pm)

Replying to: lizabeta (May 24, 2007 3:25 pm) I have a 1993 XJ6, Premium Fuel is what it's supposed to have in it. Just take care of it on all intervals, don't miss any intervals because Jags in general are notorious for having problems. Currently I am having transmission problems and will probably end up getting rid of it. I also don't have A/C because it will cost about $2,000 to fix. The owner's manual should be good enough to tell you when you should have something done to it. Or you can ask the previous owner when the last couple of maintenance intervals were.

I have a 1985 XJ6 with a 4.2 L 6 cylinder gasoline engine. One of the valves is noisy and a mechanic told me that what was making the noise was the valve seat had come loose. He said that the seats are cast iron and are pressed into the aluminum engine block and that with time they come loose and make noise and will eventually shatter and cause all kinds of havoc with the engine. He says that he has a bracket that he can install on the engine that will keep the seats in position and eliminate the noise and the need for valve work in the future. he said he will drill and tap 4 1/4 inch holes around each valve to hold the bracket. has anyone ever heard of this procedure, and if so where and when was it done. Thanks
#6 of 16 1978 XJ6L - 25,000 miles!! by michaelxf Sep 26, 2008 (3:10 pm)
Hi,   I have a '78 XJ6L with 25,00 original miles. I am the second owner...I bought it from the original owner in 1998 when it had 20,000 miles on it. She only drove it to the store and church (I know, a cliche but the truth).   Everything's original, with many of the hoses (like the fuel injectors) replaced for safety reasons.   Silver with Chinese Red interior...very elegant.   Any ideas what it's worth?
#7 of 16 Brake booster reservoir by kaeyrie Nov 08, 2008 (2:19 pm)
Hi,   I have 1988 Jaguar XJ6 and I am told that I have to watch the brake booster reservoir. The problem I have is noone told me what to look for. How do I know when to service it, what do I look for and how much do I service it with when I add the mineral oil ?   kaeyrie

Hello all,   i just purchased a 1984 XJ6-- my new project! anyway, it has to be changed (gears) from under the hood due to possibly not being connected to the shifter itself. None of the manuals i purchased has detailed instructions on troubleshooting this or even replacing it--- any and all thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!!   Get use to me, i will be here alot! thanks in advance, G

Replying to: csalem (Jan 14, 2009 9:13 am) wow thanks--only if that simple! my cable seems to come through the fire wall only a couple of inches so the life may not help--think i may have to tear the console apart to get to the beginning of the cable and trace it through...   thanks again, G
