clint78z Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Has anyone ever driven a jaguar xkr before, any one have any comments. I am not expecting a sports car, just a nice touring car to enjoy cruising around in. The only thing I wish for is a manual 6 speed to back up that supercharged V8 !!

Dayz Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 There are some Jags mechanic on this site. I was thinking about the XJR for myself, with the gas prices I am seriously reconsidering. They are reliable, when something break, you will pay more money for the parts. Steering, throttle body are the main things. There is also the engine, Nicosil or something , search about it, they seem to need a rebuilt a some point. The car is a great looking car. Send pics if you get one, Dayz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clint78z Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 I think the Nicasil is only on the early blocks in the XK8's, same with the plastic cam tensioners are gone. I am pretty handy with a wrench so most of the labour doesn't scare me if something goes wrong. I do expect to pay a bit extra for parts, but most come out of the Ford bin anyways. I don't put on many miles, so gas mileage isn't a huge deciding factor. I wonder if it actually gets stated gas mileage?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
