I have a 1997 XJ6. I can tell you without a doubt, these vehicles keep time and tradition in play.
Got the same car for $2700 in need of hood cable, tps, one airbag and a good detail. Now She looks showroom and I barely broke 3k to date.
I sorted the air suspension on mine with a second hand compresser on e Bay and fitted it myself only 70 pounds and 2 years later all ok
I’m in love with the older Jags
I have a year later top-of-the line XJ Super V8 (like current Portfolio). Similar to yours but long wheelbase, Brembo brakes, home theater system with screens in the rear headrests, separate rear climate control system, reclining rear seats, Poltrona Frau piped leather, picnic tables, electric rear sunshade, etc. In the 11 years I've owned it, only two things have broken. One is the message you got: ride height too low. My independent mechanic found it was simply an electrical socket under the car that wasn't making connection properly. He fixed it for $60. (Probably sprayed some Deoxit on the socket.) The other problem (several years ago) was the electric parking brake, whose motor died after the car sat out in several snow storms, making it impossible to get the brake off. That cost me $800, mostly for the expensive motor. I also had the same year (2005) Audi A8, which I bought new. I gave it to my sister a couple years ago because I much preferred the Jaguar. This was after I paid the latest repair bill of $4,500 and the (Tysons Corner, VA) dealer wanted another $8,300 for additional repairs/maintenance. Between the two cars, the Jaguar was much more fun to drive, more comfortable, handled better, and didn't have totally infuriating OCD controls (particularly their nav system vs. the Jaguar). My sister had similar complaints with the A8 and sold it a year later even though it only had 30,000 miles on it. The Super V8's color is "Radiance," which is a light metallic burgundy. I still have people coming up to me in parking lots asking what year the car is and complementing me on its looks. Bravo Jaguar! (BTW, I have other Jaguars, Alfas, a Maserati, etc., and am currently restoring my first Jaguar, a Series 1 XJ12 which I bought new in 1973.) Good luck with yours and I'm glad you appreciate just what a wonderful car this is.
The other thing that will break is your heart when you eventually sell it.
I've had 2 04 VDP since 2006 and I never get tired of driving in one. I watched a review of a 456 Ferrari either late 90 or early 2000s and they said the leather in that car was British conolley which is the same used in the 04 VDP and SV8. It looked the same.
This is still one of the most gorgeous cars today, good choice! Really hope a car manufacturer will start making this type of classic-design car again!
Administrator it’s ugly #wannabeMercedes
Jaguar will in fifteen years.
alas, it won’t start. this is already a classic
I have the same car in grey on grey with 125,000 k on it and have only replaced brakes, battery and tires. Runs perfectly. Incredible fuel efficiency in a 0-60 in 5 seconds or less car. Hope to keep mine for another 20 years. Best car I have ever owned.
So true - I also own one
David Cote update?
Did you had any air suspension problem?
I bought my 2004 Jaguar XJR that was exactly the same dove interior and silver exterior as this one. I took delivery on May 9th 2004 and put 10,000 miles on it in one month! I drove it from Miami to Ohio then out to California and Nevada. Great car for that time. Unfortunately hurricane Wilma flooded it out 1 year later. All of my friends liked the car too.
Hey dave am planning to buy one did you got any air suspension problem?
I worked on the intelligent passenger airbag system with a Swedish company called Autoliv back in the very early 2000's and they were quite delayed in it's launch.
One of the problems they had when I was there was that the doors wouldn't close easily, and you really had to slam them shut in order for the lock mechanism to latch.
I think it had something to do with the door seals because when I started on my first day, I remember bumping into an engineer from the suppliers in the main admin block, at Browns Lane. -That was a fascinating historical place to work.
@Ike N I think there were multiple delays somewhere along the line. We were working on pre-production cars where detailed fine-tuning engineering work was taking place on what would have been the near final product.
The sensor positions were already set in place and it was our job to fine tune them by recording a few subjects' (different sizes) body positions within the passenger side section.
Clever stuff, it can detect where your head is and prevent the airbag deploying and blowing it off... and your kneecaps. It can even tell if you are reading a newspaper. It can't be fooled. X350 had the most advanced system. We also had a chance to fine tune the newly installed system in the then updated S-Type and XK models.
I was contracted to Autoliv which supplied the system, at the time, exclusive to Jaguar. They also supplied the hood deployment mechanism, which was also exclusive to Jaguar, in the the last XK.
Browns Lane was a fascinating place but you could tell it was showing it age with all the old huge low roof sheds in a lot of the development blocks and the areas where expansions got tacked on over time. I was only there for about 6 months but the place was fascinating.
We were always given random spaces to work on such as 'Track 7' was like a robotics programming and assembly training line. (A 'track' is essentially a assembly line.)
Alas, Browns Lane was getting expensive to run: Development work was being switched to Whitley Technology Centre in Coventry, and assembly moved out to Castle Bromwich in Birmingham, and Halewood near to Liverpool. Engines continued to come from the Jaguar Engine plant from within the Ford Engines site in Port Talbot Wales.
The only thing left of Jaguar at Browns Lane is I believe, a Jaguar museum(?) and the wood veneering plant. Not sure what became of the historic entry block actually on Browns Lane.
Now of course, with Tata buying Jaguar Land Rover, production is split between Castle Bromwich, Halewood, Solihull in Birmingham and engine production moved to Wolverhampton twenty miles west of Birmingham. Development still takes place at Whitley. But with the merger, JLR also now has a development centre in Gaydon, inherited in the distant past from MG Rover Group - that's mainly to develop Land Rover products but also features a test track for road, and a test track for off road terrain.
Amazing how the Jaguar came back from the brink. Before the Tata acquisition it only had two weeks survive!...
Stunning jag I love the x350 design I feel like new jags have (XF XE) can't compair to that era of jaguat in terms of luxury and materials
Great review, one of the best I have seen actually.
❤️
getting my one soon I just love jag.
Just bought a 2004 Vanden Plas. Non supercharged but still super quick, smooth and generally incredible. $6,600 CDN. 126,000 Km on the clock, What a deal !
My 2004 XJ8 is non-supercharged too and I'm amazed at how quick and agile this big sedan is... When they decided to go with the aluminum stiffer frame for the 2004 model, it improved the handling and speed by a lot!
@@classic-kool Yup. This is my 5th Jag. Had 2003 XK8 convertible, 2003 S Type 3 litre, 1965 S Type 3.8 and 2003 X Type 2.5.
Never had any complaints with any of them,
Hey Robert l have one 2004 Vanden plus in eyes it has 120 k miles on it the condition is mint but l have heard it has a major air suspension problem did you get anything like that?
400bhp V8 and it's in a Jag, i'm better come the next few years these things will be going up in price
Ivan you have great taste in cars! Lancias and jags!
Good review, sucks that the air suspension doesn't function as it should. Out of experience I can tell you that the air suspension is amazing when it works correctly. Also in the cornering it really helps the vehicle to go fast through the corners and at high speeds it lowers itself.
I have a 2006 Xj Vanden Plas, I absolutely love it. Great cars!
My grandson just bought a 2004 XJR, 100,000 miles for $6,700. Needed a wheel speed sensor, everything else is great. Has the air ride replaced with springs and shocks, rides like a dream. His grandmother wants one. I have my eye on a Vanden Plas, in baby blue and cream interior. In great condition, but needs air suspension replaced. Only 80,000 miles for about $7,000.
I hav a jaguar xj8 super v8 ..which is the top of the line. I had mine shipped in from palm beach Florida ..fully loaddded active cruise control ..picnic tables ..20 inch wheels DVD tv in headrest sunshades & navigation. I got an amazing deal. It's my spare hardly drive it as the roads are horrible where I live. I take my navigator out everyday. I'd never part ways w/ it ..i plan on holding on to it. It's expensive to maintain. Not for everyone but hey it's paid off & top quality
Did you got any air suspension problem so far?
I got a 2008 bought it for 7 grand and had 70,000 got 11000 now running flawless I like how he said he can't open the hood it's because a rock is jammed happened to me twice
It seems an easy fix, I think they come with a central air compressor. All the shocks are down means there is one central issue and nothing wrong with each individual shock.
The best XJ was the old XJ 6 4.2l straight 6 twin carbs.... Beautiful design inside and out.
Especially the mk1 with the big radiator.
I bought one for $1,450 with engine issues. Welp, that’s all fixed and the place I bought it from wants it back! Lmao
Details on this? Looking to get one this week, wondering what I might get myself into. Tia
@@Bri11ante just be ready to open your wallet for repairs if the car wasnt taken care of properly , i bought a 2003 super v8 last february and its had nothing but problems since , it also sat under a tree for three years before i bought it , so i knew what i was getting into , but with less then 800 made its worth it to me
Brian Roldan As long as there’s no major engine or transmission damage the majority of people can fix things themselves
@@thomaslogan5689 completley agree. Ive done everything to my jag myself, Including changing out the front crankchaft seal , i had to buy 2 expensive tools to get the job done , but i also replaced the harmonic balancer/SC pulley at the same time , im not a mechanic and didnt know much about cars before i bought my first jag , the 97 xj6 about 4 years ago
Detox 2 literally the same exact situation as me. I knew nothing about cars until I bought my first Jaguar XJR (x308) and got tired of paying an arm and a leg for repairs so I became knowledgeable of the repair process.
I bought my for 700$ 04 xjr with failed air suspension also and I went with the coil over replacement and it’s amazing now!
amazing deal ... how is the ride quality ?
I have the exact same XJR 2004. Never get rid of it 👌🏽
Toast for xjr, such a beauty and ur pride owning it.
Great review.
I had the S-type for 6 years and absolutely loved it, but when it starts to go wrong (and it will) be prepared to sell a kidney on eBay!
It a beautiful car I hope you get as much joy from ownership as I did.
We have a 2006 v6 model, had her 11 years this week, love the car
A ford Mondeo with a posh body.
Hey adrian did you get any air suspension problem?
@@terryjackson3248 fwd mondeo the x type is the only fwd jag
@@terryjackson3248 has nothing to do with Mondeo...
This looks like a real classic.
Really nice Jaguar, one of the best models. Enjoy it sir.
I loved it. Don't know how the media panned it!
Were you able to do anything with passenger side rear C pillar headliner? Looks like it's pulled away.
I have a 1972 Jaguar xj6 with a 400 in.³ race motor I love it I wouldn't sell it for the world they really have the person that likes to tinker with his own car in mind very easy to work on and it rides like you're on a sheet of glass it's black with all the chrome appointments and real wood the leaper on the hood man they sure made a beautiful car back them it's very enjoyable to drive its fun and fast and yet luxurious at the same time other than the motor I have left the rest of the car stock it's too pretty to change got the factory chrome wheels and the high trim package I love my Jaguar
Cool Jag, you never stated the price but said they can be had for as little as $3k, is that what you paid? That is a crazy bargain in that price range...assuming the air suspension repair does not drain your wallet.
I have one ans i love it. One of the finest automobiles ever. made. The feel , the sound and the comfort second to none
That is absolutely gorgeous. Now I want one but I would pay a lot more than that to get one in perfect condition.
Sweet jag I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my Very mint Lincoln ls or lincjaur.
Keep the collection growing with beauties like this!
A cheap Jag can be the most expensive car around 🤔 nice vid, though. I have an X350 with every problem fixed, and I love it
Do you peel out in the gravel like this idiot did in the video?
Control your phone & Bluetooth ...that didn't come out til 08' in the jags. ?? Pretty sure any yr prior u would need to add an after market Bluetooth & aux cord if you want to play music . Although in mine..I can connect cell phone to the DVD players in the rear but that's all you can do w/ standard equipment in the super v8. So I'm confused to as of how ur connecting ur phone
Love it!!!
Arnott makes a coilover conversion kit for these cars I think it's $1,100.
I loved your description of the refined ride and comfort of the car - as the camera was showing you bouncing and swaying all over the place!! That made me chuckle!
Mark Chippendale me too
I have an 04 xj8 ; its one of the best jags ive ever owned, and ive owned three. The air suspension is a bit problematic, ive had to do the rears and now probably the fronts which are being intermittent and sag after a day or two of not driving. The lcd screen loves to go wonky too, and headlight flicker with bad headlight grounding... However, all minor stuff especially for an older british car . Trunk is big, but not a ton of height in there , i did fold a honda lawnmower into the trunk and a table saw though. Mine has 20" wheels and low profiles from a previous owner , changes the ride in a negative way and something i wouldn't do.
That's what it is, I have headlight flicker. I wonder if anyone will make an LED headlight conversion kit?
Everyone would think the car was a new model !
I have an 03 911. 0-60 is 4.6 in all the literature i have. I cant imagine the 04 911 c2 being a 5.5 sec 0-60, this is for the 3.6 na flat six. The jags 0-60 was insane back then! Definitely on my list of cars and to have!
I have a 95 xjs 82,000 convertible love it. Might have to sell one day. I hardly drive anywhere anymore
I've owned a 2004 XJR for 12 years (bought it with 90,000 miles on it). It's everything Ivan says it is. Still as classic a look as you can find. You WON'T find many around which adds to its exclusivity. My XJR is black on black and I've only see ONE like it on the road in 10+ years. You can't say that about MB, Porsche, or Lexus/Audi. My Jag has ... (count 'em!) 226,000 miles and it's been EXTREMELY RELIABLE. I replaced the trans @190,000 with a salvage trans and it runs great! With regard to cost of repairs, I CAN say that it's way cheaper than a VW Phaeton W12 or a Porsche Carrera S (the drive shaft warped - cost to replace $10,000 - have you EVER heard of a driveshaft warping?), but it ain't cheap. The saving grace is that is it so reliable. I replaced a water pump @$200, a couple of alloy rims @$600 (ain't the car's fault - NJ roads beat the hell out of them), and TWO wiper motors @$850 each (my biggest gripe). Jaguar Service is 2x - 3x a good independent mechanic would charge. With regard to the suspension problem Ivan mentioned. Like ANY airbag car, esp. VW Phaeton, MB or RR, they're costly @$1500 per wheel. However, it's PER WHEEL; you don't have to replace the ENTIRE suspension like my Phaeton (@$10,000+ a one month wait for parts from dear old Deutschland). I replace ONE ... not bad for 226,000 miles. I absolutely love my Jaguar.
Just wondering if you still have it and how it’s doing now. I’d like to get a big body saloon for the extra safety. My two concerns are reliability and gas consumption. I’m not shy of working on my car.
Great review man and sick drift.
Good choice, great summary, I love this car, ... I love your car! ;-)
Beautiful.
Perfection... when whoever in the future brings this shape back it will be a best seller. I was at a show room looking at the new model Xj when this old guy comes in and says where is the other one meaning this shape. Sorry sir they have changed the shape now he turned around and was gone. Check out Iron Maiden jaguar old Xj fitted out with modern interior
i would get the 2.7 v6 xj diesel around 2008
good era
That "too low" is a big dollar warning. I had one, and it was a money pit. Yes, a gorgeous monster. I can also see yours is having a headliner issue like mine. When you pay high dollars, or even low, don't go there. It's like old Jag issues they were infamous for which cleared up a little under Ford. Also, the car is very large. The trunk was made unnecessarily large.
I really wish you would've talked about the adaptive cruise more.
Sobid I get knee for 800 I should?
So I can get one 800 I should?
I have a 2004 XJR. By far it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. It’s reliable, comfortable, very fast and it handles like a spirts car. I’ve had it for 8 years. Most people have no idea it’s 14 years old. It still looks new inside and out. People spend a whole lot more money for whole lot lesser cars.
Good review. Nice platform with a lot to offer. I “rolled the dice” on mine, it has been worth it. Makes good power after some mods.
I owned a 2006 xjr. Great Car, I wished I Could of Kept it!! Ford did a Excellent Job on the Electronics and The Drive Train!! It was "Bullet proof"! I had Very little Trouble with the Car!!
I have a xjr supercharge I love it. It only has100k miles.. it always starts it needs a new paint job, I need new front seats. But it purrs perfectly
I've always had Jaguars and Land Rover.
You have a great car there. Just fix the problems and keep it. Great find.
Love that car!!!
how did they lower this xjr? i thought these had air ride type suspension? its it sitting low because the airride is broken?
1st time I see an XJ350 without heated seats. Apart from one in Italy, but that was a V6 only...
What happened to the car Ivan, how did it work out?
your somewhere off of georgetown pike?. at one of those pull in gravel lots
One thing you didn't mention is how you can not only set the steering wheel for reach and height, but the pedals too. At least you can on the Sovereign and I assume you can on the XJR. Enjoy!
Some cheap Jaguar XJRs, where they can be fixed up (be brave and patient), are stonking good value for money. I love them to bits, but my favourite is the original, the XJR6. By no means as sophisticated as the later models, but it's a real bruiser. By the way the Citroen CX (another amazing vehicle) doesn't have air suspension. It's hydropneumatic and far more sophisticated and advanced than air suspension. Many, many Citroens used this system, which used to make them quite special. I daily a Citroen Xantia which uses the same system. Modern Citroens have done away with hydropneumatic suspension and they have really lost their magic.
Hey guys please reply l am thinking to buy a 2004 XJR and it has 120 k miles on it but l've heard the air suspension are really bad after 70k miles did you had any problem?
I've always wanted one of those, I have Merc's now, but damn, that's awesome!
Jaguar, almost any model you can name, has something no production Mercedes ever had or will have: sex appeal. Women especially are into Jags because when the car pulls up to a posh restaurant and the host opens the door for her, she sees herself as Princess Di doing the same thing so often, almost always in a Jag.
Jaguars have great street creds too. While a lot of people consider the three German brands to be snobby and pretentious, everybody on the street knows a Jag when they see it and as often as not will give a thumbs-up to its driver.
@John, they are sexy cars haha! You're right, can't really think of a 'sexy' Mercedes Benz. MAYBE the new AMG GT R.
@@johntechwriter Absolute rubbish Mercedes have always had sex appeal and always will. The ladies love Mercedes and everyone knows a Mercedes when they see one the three pointed star is iconic. I could list loads of Mercedes that are sexy cars. Give any woman the choice between a Mercedes and a similar Jaguar and they'd pick the Mercedes every time.
😂 @5.48 "oh well" it has ....lmao
Invest in an airbag suspension conversion kit.. You can get a good set for all 4 wheels for about $1100.00 ... Labor cost to have a them professionally installed ran me $750.00.. Now the car handles great and I have the luxury sedan I wanted in my collection..
Why would you want to convert the suspension. Totally kills it.
I recommend this conversion to anyone that has ANY kind of air suspension. Once they get to a certain age they always fail.
@@EdgyNumber1 So do regular shocks a struts!! Regular shocks and struts have a diminishing ride quality over time also. The only advantage is you can ignore a failed gas strut. Air struts maintain a consistent ride quality until replacement is needed. why spend 2000 bucks to convert when you can just fix the leak? conversion kits appeal to fear and lazy people. why even buy a high end luxury car in the first place if you are just going to take awsy from the experience. what a waste
classic kool very true! Arnotts and install 1900$ total
Great li classic. Thumbs up.
You won't be so enthustiastic when you start repairing and renovating it.
There’s is one of these near where I live. Owner had massive engine probs was quoted $10-12000 for new engine. So he pulled engine out sold it as is and dropped a 427 Chevy in its place for around 4000. Car now is low flying missle Best thing to do with jag engines. British and reliability do not go together very often
Bullshit lol. British engines are very reliable you just have to keep up with maintenance and not cheap out on fluids, either way you Americans have cheap ass petrol, European engines are ment to run on 95,98 octane.
10-12k- lol who was he taking to.. You can get another engine for 2k or less!!
I have a 2007 XJ8 and have all the same error messages you have. These seem to come on even more in cold weather.
I have a 2006 xj8 with the same message but they come on much quicker when it's hot outside so my jag likes cold I suppose
How did you lower it so well?
I own the same 04 in Quartz with blk/brown interior love it owned 9 yrs now and bulletproof [ did have to replace front shocks and rear susp bushings] put 100,000 miles on brakes before they needed replacement. Mina Gallery pulley and exhaust 0-60 in 4.4 seconds not bad for a sedan that gets 32 mpg on hwy
I have the same exact car
1. As he's describing the "smooth" ride, he's being bounced around the interior along with the camera lol. Granted, it's a simple air suspension problem, which is typical of the early 2004-2005 XJ cars, but I'd choose a different scene to talk about ride smoothness. 2. He mentions the air suspension in his citroen. That is COMPLETELY different setup than this Jaguar. The Citroen had a hydropneumatic system, like the Mercedes ABC. That's basically a hydraulic system that shares a single hydraulic circuit for all 4 corners, not air. The jag is different in many ways, more reliable, and cheaper to repair. NO NOT change this to coilovers. 3. I would not advise driving this car (especially in a spirited way) without being able to open the hood and check fluids. These are notorious for valve cover gasket leaks and that oil level could be exceptionally low given the deferred repairs that already exist.
Anyway, I look forward to seeing this beautiful car get sorted!
Looks nice
I love this car, just love it! 😍👍🏻
Watch that headliner in the hot Sun!
William jordison I have a xj8 not the R as in this case I only call it the “growler” .
I'm surprised there was no mention of the adaptive cruise control.
It was very innovative for 2004, not to mention the safety benefits.
Not all models had it - an option I think? My 2003 XJ8 SE has it but my 2004 XJR only has the standard cruise control. Maybe they reasoned that nobody stays in front of an XJR for long? ;-) - He does mention it and demonstrate at around 9'.30"
I have a 2008 XJR and I love it never did give me any problems
shit, do you ever drive it?
08 VDP all 4 on the floor :(
Absolutely fantastic car & unique enough compared to the new Jags, Mercs & Bimmers.
What did it cost to fix?
Beautiful.❤
Always liked these x350,s.
The aluminium body certainly appeals after owning 5 steel-bodied jags.
The electrics, air suspension & excessive tech puts me off.
Plus-i still feel an xj should have the fuel filler cap beneath the rear window 😂
VEHICLE TOO LOW lol
Beautiful Car, One of the last European Classic Build Cars !
And this Metallic Look is my Favourite !
I want to buy one soon actually, but first will try n look for a Daimler Version,they are called Vanden Plas in the USA.
Greetings, and thanks for a great review , nice to hear U also own a CX !
Friend has a Daimler Super V8 LWB. Amazing vehicle. The car mats look like a couple of sheep sleeping in the footwells. Goes like stink and he says it's been reliable so far. 2006 model and it's like new.
@@garethonthetube Just bought me a 2000 Daimler Super V8 LWB.
For a good price ,so I got so money left the get it properly fixed up.
Will do a Full Check up, and hope for the best.
Beautiful Green Metallic, lovely Car.
Greetings !
what year is this one ?
Can you get it in manual tho
also weren't US x-350s limited to 120-ish mph...?
Jaroslav Záruba the xj8s were limited to 127mph. The xjr 155. I had an xj8 and currently have the xjr. Tested both to their limits 😃
Cool car!!
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland thanks you for this ubiquitous automotive engineering review.
David Scott Noble - 'ubiquitous' makes no sense in that sentence. Simpleton.
These cars if you research and talk with owners that take care of them are well documented to go 200,000 plus miles on original engine and transmissions.
Hows the sound system on these?
