2000 XKR Jaguar with over 440K miles - sort of?! CAR WIZARD has a haunted car in his shop!

Weird problem but at least now he has a KZbin channel video to document the issue and not just the guy's word on the matter.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

How's that? There's no proof here that the car actually has 40k miles on it. Wizard is taking the customer's word for it, unless there are some recent shop papers or a Carfax that has the correct mileage recorded.

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH 6 year old tires with no wear, rusty brakes, condition of the interior (especially the seats) and other wear signs tell a lot. Sure someone could fake it but that's a lot of work to go to for what? Bragging rights that you got a Jag to last?

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH You can tell by going over a car whether 440k miles is correct or whether it's more like 40k, so he really doesn't have to take the customers word on it. One of these cars would never even make it to 440k, not looking like this one, so that's out as even a possibility. You can usually even tell 50k vs 100k by just looking at the car.

I have a 2003 XK8 that looks just like this. Black with black top but I have the Apollo Wheels instead. No supercharger so it's not particularly fast, but it looks beautiful and I love taking my wife out to dinner in it. Got it for 10 grand in Ohio and I have a friend and a local shop to help me with basic upkeep and maintenance. Knock on wood, has not bad to own maintenance so far. And I get compliments about it almost every day.

[@houseofno]

FYI one other LEGAL alternative is that you can get a cluster reset to 0 IF you put a label on the driver's side door jamb indicating the original mileage AND indicating cluster was replaced or repaired. This is legal as long as an effort was made to document the car's actual mileage. I might also add that KZbinr jeffescortlx does cluster repairs all the time and he has an absolute gift with a soldering iron. I would definitely let him take a crack at that "cat's" cluster.

[@AikaCraftyCat]

I believe that may be (technically) legally required even if the cluster is simply swapped out without any outright modification.

@@JaguWireLife Yeah, I became a Jag man from 2000-on for that reason. I live in Western Washington and wish I could run across a guy just like you in the Seattle Area. Had a 2004 XJ8 for a while. Liked it. But the biggest disappointment was the fact that when the XJ8/R generation changed to the X350, leaving the top speed for U.S. versions of it at about 150 mph as for the previous X308 XJ8s was 110% out of the question as they became electronically controlled to a measly 121 mph. Same was done to the non-supercharged S-Types. And it got even worse in 2006 when the XJR also got restricted to the same 121 mph, confirmed in another You Tube video at the proving grounds. I don't care what anyone says, there's no reason for that. It is not a Lincoln Town Car nor a Cadillac. The worst part of that is that there would never be any getting rid of such speed restrictions to unlock the awesome Jag's potential. But there will always be such support for any German or Japanese car even if it's as old as pre-2000. So, I think my next Jag will either be an S-Type R w/ 400+ horsepower or just a pre-2003 base S-Type 0-60 in 8 flat but was still able to do 140 in U.S. specs.

My XJR did exactly the same thing when I left it for 18 months, no electric fuel pumps like sitting, especially if you use E10 fuel, & especially if you leave it with the tank near empty, as it exposes the pumps to air which results in corrosion. By the way, the series XJ`s had tanks in the rear wings, not behind the seat, so are easier to work on (but are much more exposed in the event of a rear end crash), it wasnt till the XJ40`s that the tank went against the seat.

Cool car Wizard i love Jags except for the the newer F Pace it looks like a Porsche and Maserati had a kid together it just doesn't stand out to me when i think of jags but thats my opinion. I personally again this is my opinion prefer the vintage ones like Hoovies E type because they get meaner as they get older. Speaking of that car that seal where they leak from thats normal just the nature of the beast my XK140 leaks like that i just throw cat litter on top of a piece of cardboard and slide it under the car. Also they're supposed to take a lot of oil not because of the size of the pan because they raced some of them along with mine. It still blows my mind how much oil my XK140 takes 14Q. And speaking of my 140 heres an example on why i prefer the vintage ones. I have a 1956 XK140 roadster 4 speed manual all original untouched car millage, paint, numbers matching everything original, it even came with the original 50s toolkit in the trunk when we bought it in 2002. More on that in a bit. As old as it is it still preforms great and still has all of its 210 horses and even gets 23mpg on the highway and 18 in city. Its no trailer or garage princess just a great driver. I love that car because of the sentimental value it has for me it was my first Jag an also my first collector car. It was this car i learned how 2 wrench on cars at 9 years old in 2002 after my dad bought it off of a used car lot and i still have it to this day. I think it was listed for 25k for it. But i rode in my friends 2005 1/3 XKR black cat edition and that was a blast. If i could find one of that car would it would parked next to my XK140

To answer your question about the odometer adjustment, it can be legally done IF AND ONLY IF you can get a certified odometer statement from your local DMV. I don't know what the procedure for that is in Kansas but if you are able to get the correct mileage for the vehicle and you are absolutely certain that you can do that then it can be done. I remember Volvo actually had a genius way of addressing this issue back in the day, and what they did was they had something like an OBD I system under the hood that would blink to tell you exactly how many miles are on the car in the event that your odometer stopped working. My friend Robert Spinner (aka. RobertDIY on KZbin) has a video on this procedure. Then you would have to provide the odometer repair shop with a certified odometer statement from the DMV indicating the correct mileage for the vehicle in question. Not sure if Jaguar has anything similar to this in their cars, but that’s the route you would need to go if you wanted to address this issue in a legal manner. Hope this helps!

The odometer has to be kept somewhere, clusters probably last longer than ECUs, and the day of mechanical clusters that die with the car is over.

[@billyray3953]

The xkr fuel pumps always seem to fail in pairs. The reason why is the car will run fine on one pump without codes or any symptoms. If one fuel pump fails the other will fuel the car just fine. One pump could fail and you could drive for 5 years on the other pump and you would never know. When the second pump fails is when you finally figure out something is wrong, which is why BOTH pumps are always bad when they come in the shop.

[@Exemplifiera]

On the coupe, you can change the fuel pumps from a hatch on the rear parcel shelf. No need to take the fuel tank out.

Modern Porsche's [and probably other cars too] have a readout of the number of hours that the engine has operated. From this the mileage of the car can be estimated, regardless of what the odometer says. That's how you can tell if there has been tampering. Local mechanics can look at the hours and correlate the mileage. Great video!

Me to, but then reality kicked in and all i got was 1985 volvo 740 turbo 😆

[@The_Automobilist]

They are actually not that expensive. However they are increasing. I guess best is to stop dreaming and get one now. 6k and you should have a normal aspirated coupe or convertible. However yo should be prepared to fix things yourself. This saves a lot of money.

[@h7pubg]

lol they are not that expensive to maintain, just do preventive work (cooling system, tensioners, on non supercharged cars, A drum), the parts are not unreasonable, they are more expensive than a toyota yes but they break down very rarely if preventative work done. almost always just regular maintenance

[@flexn06128]

It’s not that bad I bought an 02 xkr. Just gotta stay on top of regular maintenance.

[@richardautenzio8117]

I love this car. However I can't use or even enjoy the super charger or the fast V8 engine, but unlike many other cars, I can use the nice ride and enjoy the beautiful traditional Jaguar style interior. This car has great style and I can use and enjoy that alone. Speed? Anyone out there ever rolled a car? Well try it sometime at only 100mph I thought I was invincible once. If you want to drive fast, then I suggest you practise every day at the speed you want to drive at.

[@RobertMagaro]

You have a Dash light burnt out. Coups, you can do the pumps through the large Base speaker but not on Verts. These cars are VERY very sensitive to low voltage...

[@ShadyOC714]

Hi Wizard. Love the channel. Our gas is still $4. It was $6 before.

[@douglasb.1203]

And is was $2.25 about 2 and a half years ago, so there's that.

[@jaguarladdie]

Here in the UK petrol is approx $8 per gallon. Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), which allows you to use a 2000 Jaguar XKR on the road in the UK is £300 ($360) per year every year.

[@SailorBen]

@jaguarladdie their gallon is only 3.8 litres, so more like 6-7$ 😂 . 4per imp gallon would be a dream, daily driving an xjr 4.2

What about replacing the plastic timing chain tensioner BEFORE it breaks?

That’s what the previous xk8 was in for

[@Zgreasewood]

Replace the tensioner with the aluminum one , the Guides will last a long time. Tie the chain to the cam gears before taking them off, you won't ever lose the timing.

[@stevenr2463]

I had an XKR Convertible 2001 for 19 years. Had terrible issues for about 10 years until the second fuel pump went and it finally dawned on the work shops that the fuel pumps were the cause of all my problems! Why is this not known (or ignored) by regular Jaguar dealers/work shops?

[@bushmanPMRR]

As an Englishman I always have a little chuckle to myself when an American pronounces it 'JagWAR' when we pronounce it as 'Jag-YOU-ARE' That cluster reminded me of my old 1996 Range Rover I had and Jaguar Land Rover were owned by Bavarian Murder Weapons at the time so the electronics would be very similar. The ECU/BECM were notorious for glitches, even the mobile, sorry, 'cellphone' antennas in petrol forecourts priceboards were known to 'annoy' the ECU and interfere with the immobiliser amongst other issues. My mechanic said that even with the key not in the car, the mobile (cell) antennas would trick the ECU to cycle through its start-up sequence continually until eventually draining the battery.THAT would then present the problem of the ECU not recognising the car key so I carried a piece of paper in my wallet with the Emergency Key Access Code as well as the code for the radio and any other stuff. I eventually got the ECU reprogrammed to think it was actually in Canada not England which cured a lot of the problems I had. Sorry my reply is a year late ;-) but I hope you managed to get it sorted as its a very fine car!

[@pops55650]

If you can prove the mileage on the vehicle, you can set the mileage. You just can’t go under the actual mileage. Another part of the law states “with intent to fraud” . You do have to be careful not to go under the last registered mileage. My newest car doesn’t store the mileage in the cluster, it’s in the ECU, so I don’t need to set mileage.

[@ramonconcepcion6083]

He didn't mention or show removing the fuel lines underneath the car and if that's not done and you try to position the tank to access the pumps,you will most likely kink them

[@jdesmo1]

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Great, please tell everybody. The more people hate on Jags, the lower the values and prices and better for people like me. I love my Jags, had 6 of them so far, all reliable. Currently I enjoy my 2013 XKR convertible and 2020 F-Pace S

[@h7pubg]

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH don’t, people that actually own them know these are reliable. you smoothbrains see any regular maintenance that would exist on any car, on a jaguar, and blame it on the car. boo hoo, fuel pumps die after 23 years. the cluster is an incredibly rare issue on x100s

[@mikojarvinen6273]

The US laws seem to be very strict about odometer readings. I once had to change a cluster for a 1998 Cadillac Seville STS in Finland. I asked around if it would be possible to get the original reading and found several shops willing to do it if I just proved it was the original odometer reading. Later I also found out that it isn’t illegal to change to odometer reading. You can get any odometer reading for 100€ from shady shop. However if you purposely roll back the odometer to get financial benefit in a car sale it’s a mild fraud. It’s estimated that a significant amount of imported cars have odometer rolled back. Unlike original Finnish cars, they don’t have history records of odometer readings in yearly inspections. The best indication is usually missing service records.

[@kemy5368]

wait... why is it illegal to even touch the mileage on the odomoete? It is illegal to change the odometer on a car in France to pass it off as something it's not (mostly reducing the mileage), but it's not illegal to adjust a replacement odometer to the correct mileage of the car. if you get an odometer with a different mileage it is legal to adjust it to the correct mileage of the vehicle, this why this feature exist in the first place.

[@Zgreasewood]

They are Ford pumps made in Romania, cut them apart and they have been wxposed to air and have tarnishbonbthe internal parts. Leave it full of gas in storage with an additive.

When you press sport button it alters the timing and quad cams and hence the two fuel pumps
