RE: My new toy... The Shaguar. - ADV_93 - 20-02-2014 I love German, but there's nothing wrong with a XJ. Comfortable, automatic and comfortable. RE: My new toy...

I will have to give you a tour of mine! The only bits in a bag is the interior lol Also, consider this. It's a 1977 car and it comes with an LSD standard! drifty drifty Be glad that XJR isn't a V8, the 90's ones have nikasil liners, which means any fuel other than premium eats the engine entirely. And you can't rebore it! That 4.0 'charge is the same engine as the Aston DB7. RE: My new toy...

And you can't rebore it! Most were replaced though when the make up of petrol changed so much due to the fact they were failing so early on. RE: My new toy...

And you can't rebore it! They only replaced engines that were affected. Basically, the high suphur content in cheap shit fuel wore them down. Most Jaguar owners (from new) fill up premium fuel which is full of additives and generally less sulphur content, so the problem is still very much out there if you're buying one second hand Been there, done that lol also got the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club magazines with it RE: My new toy...

And you can't rebore it! Correct but it was actually a huge amount of them that were replaced but as you say, it can be over come by using low sulphur fuel if you do pick up one with an original engine. RE: My new toy... The Shaguar. - Martin306 - 20-02-2014 I prefer the V12 any day or even the I6. 8 cylinders is totally over rated. lol RE: My new toy... The Shaguar. - jammapic - 21-02-2014 I did my research before I bought it, and came to the conclusion (because of the above, and a few other things) the v8 was a no go. Supercharged inline 6 all day JP RE: My new toy... The Shaguar. - THE_Liam - 21-02-2014 Sixes are much smoother and quieter, to me V8's are for sports or muscle cars, straight sixes are for luxury cars, V8 doesn't suit a Jaaaaaaag...

Yeah. It's a proper "lad" car if you know what I mean, like a Jaaaaag man shaves with a straight razor, knows survival skills, drinks scotch and can fix stuff, whereas a BMW man wears shades indoors, a Mercedes man talks about how much he earns and an Audi man uses hair/skin products.

The Shaguar. - jammapic - 09-03-2014 Errrm... so I loved the car so much I decided to sell it, make some profit, dig deep and scrape the barrel and buy a newer, nicer, v8 supercharged model. So, picked this up the other day. Sorted the exhaust and intake out for some more ponies and gave it a full detail. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dARkRNMAbMo RE: My new toy...
