My wife has the 300hp version which we are driving from Wales to Vienna next week. It is the convertible model, but there is plenty of room for six cabin bags and a medium suitcase. Its been with us six years and still gets the thumbs up from us, and passers-by. Light upholstery is essential for every convertible, whatever make, but especially a Jaguar, so you can revel in the superb leather craftsmanship. A grand tourer with style, don't hesitate.

Have you noticed that the START/STOP button flashes at 72 beats per minute? That is also the resting heart rate of a real life jaguar.

@Micky8791 5 ай бұрын

Brilliant video. Completely agree regarding the R over the XK! Totally different animal. I made the same error while starting the jag first time. Unlike a BMW, etc, where you just give the start button a quick press and off it goes, you have to actually hold the button down while the starter turns over and release when you hear the v8 roar. It adds to the drama 😁👍

On the rare occasion I had to leave a proxy bid at BCA I miraculously always won the car at the exact amount of my bid. I wouldn't trust BCA as far as I could throw them. The media center fault missing from the report is another example of how the company cons it's customers. No doubt it was covered in their disclaimer regarding grading.

I love these XKR;s, Such a rare sight on the roads these days, Pretty sure the Bodyshell is aluminium so hopefully no corrosion issues apart from the bolt on steel subframes as you said Joe, Only weak point i know about on these V8's is the timing chain tensioners and guides but i think that was on the previous XK model?

I agree with everything you’ve said on this vlog James. It’s appalling what’s happened to you. For a while now I keep seeing the words ‘Unalive’ and ‘unalived’ and the penny’s just dropped after watching this it’s obviously being used instead of the ‘D’ word.

I have a 2009 XKR-S, 4.2..I doubt you will get a subframe fitted for a thousand pounds fitted. Parts are extremely expensive, transmission fluid, coolant and oil also needs done and brake fluid and discs. They are absolutely monsters so you can get a new Ford fiesta or get this thing sorted

@BarryRudge 4 ай бұрын

@@toffeepie1878 Please read my comment correctly I said Sub frame plus VAT to purchase the item, that excludes labour costs and any other associated parts i.e. a set of four mounting brackets will cost around £200. I think the last sub frame I purchased was around £948 plus VAT.

@toffeepie1878 4 ай бұрын

@@BarryRudge I have a XKRS I know how much these things cost to fix up, a subframe on these is a substantial repair and it's likely other suspension parts will also be required - I would have £1500 at hand for such a job, at the bare minimum. Having said that I wouldn't hesitate to get the work done because they are such a great car to own and much more special than run of the mill rubbish you see on the road everyday

I removed the exhaust mid-boxes to make it proper asbo grandad spec 😂 and had some of the chrome bits painted and wrapped black, changed the front grilles for a later style black version, sold for 15k after a year ownership, nice cars 👍

You’ve got some stones on you that’s for sure. Try disconnecting the battery for an hour (I didn’t leave it that long) and see if the screen comes on. I smoked Jags round for a few years, one of them had the dead screen thing. On the way back from buying it from Brighouse I disconnected the battery and it all came back on. It would do it every 9 months or so. Just seen it was an amp, at least it’s fixed 👍

I drove a later one with the supercharged 5 litre. It had a little work done, pulley, map etc and pushed out 650bhp. It seemed so calm and civilized cruising along, nice ZF auto around town. Then when you let rip it was evidently like a monstrous dinosaur waking up. Terrifying. Completely overwhelmed the rear wheels. Way too much power for the traction it had.

It certainly looks like a beautiful Jaguar on the outside. However on the inside, apart from the seats it could be a Toyota. I have two Jags, a 1996 and a 2006 and the interiors don't look like a cheap common so called luxury car.
