Engine sounds quiet - no tensioner-related issues. Seems to pull well - solid transmission. No untoward lights on the dash ; like ABS, stability control fail... Looks like for £550 you've done well. Good looking car with the grill and alloy wheel upgrades and especially the seats. Eagerly await your next videos as I've got 2 XJ8's myself. (Great cars) Do what you can to keep it on the road. Cheers.
The Damp weather in England and being below Sea level will rust a Sherman Tank.. Try taking a Steamer to the leather, it will open the pores. Apply a good leather cleaning solution and wipe clean.
I paid £500 for my 4 ltre XJR but yours looks a lot better,I had a lot of rust in the bulkhead as the car had been standing for a long while and after the mot was done the top suspension mounts began to split badly as the car was used, also rust in the nearside arch behind the MacPherson strut. All in all, I should have known better as I have a X300 the previous model that has none of these issues so I didn't look for them, in my mind the XJ 8 is built in a much different way and you really do have to do your homework on the body.
Well, my one is about crusty everywhere but not to the point that's it's falling apart. Interestingly my other '98 XJ8 has no rust whatsoever being 4 years older.
Bought my XJ8 two months ago..the car gets into gears harshly at certain times, the boot does not open with the key, only with the button..and the locks don't work with the remote. Other than that, solid car.
the jaguar s type was based on the platform that the ford thunderbird and lincoln ls of the time used. you can see this in the 1st gen s type they still have the console of the lincoln. later on this changed to a true jag mid console.
Fair play! I have the same problem as you, love this money eaters 🥰 I like the red one, but beat you on the price 😅😁 Just got my Xj8 Sport for £500, in need of some love, but driving great and everything working...for now 🤭😅
What year is the red one ? I winder if the yellow mirrors are dimming mirrors. Dim when middle one does. 3 terminals on glass? 2v dims. Expensive so replace with standard. May fold too. Adjuster in center position and press down.
Very nice car my friend, bargain. I was looking around 2k to buy one..is that decent money or to cheap and get problems with it or spend more to get a better example?

What year is the red one ? I winder if the yellow mirrors are dimming mirrors. Dim when middle one does. 3 terminals on glass? 2v dims. Expensive so replace with standard. May fold too. Adjuster in center position and press down.
Its 2002. I was wondering why 3 terminals as eBay has only 2. Power fold is probably gone, but are they supposed to fold automatically?
VoloKin Project No they don’t fold automatically. Put Left Right adjuster in Center and press adjuster downwards.
Nice review mate, I have an old 1997 V6 audi a4 and it's a dream to drive.. I really want one of these as my next car.. the red one isit a 3.2 or 4.0?
The red is 3.2
Very nice car my friend, bargain. I was looking around 2k to buy one..is that decent money or to cheap and get problems with it or spend more to get a better example?
Not worth more, for 2k must be perfect. I sold mine for 1.8k when done
Boot not opening could be broken wire on right hinge.
Could be, I'll try to sort out the valet mode first, I'll start from there.
Oh yeah. 👍🏻
No navigation dvd drive in boot. Gearknob could be standard.
Should it be a separate unit somewhere? I heard there must be a map CD as well.
VoloKin Project It would be above the CD changer but it’s not fitted as it’s an option
I see, cheers!
S type is some American platform
