I've just bought the cheapest JAGUAR XFR in the country!!

*Edit.. since I bought this, the market is moving quickly and there are plenty now less than this.
I thought this was a bargain for £7.5k. if you can get one without an engine issue, for the same or less than this, buy it. They are insanely good value!!

I brought a jag xfs in march, i love it. Few electrical gremlins but im really impressed. Love your xfr 😉

[@turnerscarsUK]

Thank you, same for me, there are a few issues, but I love the thing!

[@gooroochillafarnorthqld-Aus]

Great review mate, thank you. You’ve helped me make the decision to throw caution the wind and go for it! Seasons Greetings from Cairns, Aus.

[@turnerscarsUK]

I spent a few days in Cairns, loved it there! If you can fix it or know someone to help fix it, do it, I've had no time for content lately, but the XFR is still here and epic!

[@t.guy123]

Congrats. I had same exact one. Fantastic cars. be on the look out for a rattling timing chain, its an indication that the timing guides are worn and need replacement. they're expensive, but not as expensive as needing a brand new engine if you start skipping time.

[@turnerscarsUK]

Thank you 👍 that was something I was very aware of when I had a look, listened for rattling and also looked for oil leaks. All seems clear there. I've seen how complicated the timing chain replacement is, it looks a very difficult job!

[@christopherconway2185]

Looking forward to updates along the way. Best of luck with your purchase!

[@turnerscarsUK]

Thank you! Trying to get time to get the Fiesta MOT'd and ready for the next owner, then onto the XFR!

[@marcp108]

Nice ride - looking forward to seeing it again after you have it detailed.

[@turnerscarsUK]

I think I'll wait until spring to give it a good going over, and debating some bodywork before, I've found some rust on the bootlid now too.

[@marcp108]

@@turnerscarsUK Sounds like a plan - hopefully no more rust will appear. I think I saw somewhere that Mercedes get rust in the wheel arches.

[@Andy-qh9su]

Nice looking XFR, I was recently looking at an XFR or SV8 - I just couldn’t make the numbers work, given my annual mileage of 25k. I ended up with a 2014 XFS, which suits me really well. I look forward to future updates. If you manage to find the clips for the scuttle panel, do let me know as I had one broken when a new front screen was fitted to my car

[@turnerscarsUK]

I've had an SV8 before too, lovely car, but pipped by the more sporting aspects of the XFR. The seats for example are standard. Your XFS has probably got the same sculpted seats as the XFR? I had a 3.0 diesel S for a couple of weeks but it was a bit of a lemon so was returned to the dealer. The XFS is a lovely car too though, a decent amount of power from that, but much better on fuel and tax. I definitely wouldn't recommend the V8 for 25k a year! If the clips are hard to find I'll just suck it up and go to the dealer, can't be more than a couple of quid each.

[@Andy-qh9su]

@@turnerscarsUK had a remap on the XFS, circa 320bhp and 529lbft, along with a gearbox remap - it’s swift, fast hot hatch quickl, but, still returns close to 50mpg One day I’ll get an R though

[@Chipchap-xu6pk]

Nice car. The illuminated sills probably weren't retrofitted from a later model. My SV8 was a year old when I bought it, and it came with them. The XFR hadn't launched at the time. They were in the accessories brochure.

[@turnerscarsUK]

I found the receipt for this, they were bought aftermarket and weren't on the original spec!

[@dojocho1894]

replacing some of the parts is a hassle I'm here in the states and finding mechanics to work on jags is very hard they dont like to spend the time ..and things like deep inside the vehicles' engine bay you have to loosen the motor mounts etc.....to replace parts

[@turnerscarsUK]

I'm ready for the challenge! I've recently changed the front belts on a Discovery 3 so feel like I can tackle anything 🤣 my worry is when it comes to diagnosing what's wrong.

[@tr4spyable]

Bought an XF-S 3.0 Diesel three years ago for approx 6k, seems like I have missed the great deal for the XFR. Although the fuel cost would destroy me later on.

@@turnerscarsUK I thought it was a bargain at £8300 so we’ll done on getting it cheaper. I’m not gutted as I’ll be picking up a 996-911 next week, so I’m still smiling.

I would immediately replace the timing chain, guides and tensioners and all the plastic coolant pipes as well as the water pump, super charger will have to come out but if you want to use the car long term it would be the thing to do

That was a mean machine not as nice looking as the face lift models in my opinion but the power this thing produced for that era was amazing.

[@turnerscarsUK]

I'd agree on some of the looks, but some parts I prefer on the first ones. The touch sensitive glovebox and dials are better. From some angles the front lights with bonnet bulge make it look more aggressive. The newer front lights are classier. The big one now is the price jump, earlier cars are a lot cheaper!

[@chrishirst7716]

Can you still use it with a radar system fault. As I've the same problem.

[@turnerscarsUK]

For me yes, forward alert and parking sensors are not working, but it drives fine and the main warning can be turned off every drive. It's not an MOT failure as the engine management light isn't on. It's currently the first thing on the list to investigate, after I've sold one of the other cars or two! Let me know if you investigate and how you get on 👍

[@KausarClassics]

Sounds like the speed sensor ? Wouldn’t come up on a fault but would also explain why parking sensors are not coming on

[@turnerscarsUK]

This is high on my list to investigate, the parking sensors were working when I first had it.

[@raybell7696]

I recognise that number plate, was the owner from the north east

No, the owner was down the road from me, Derbyshire, he bought it from a guy in Essex. The plate was only added this year though, so probably transferred from another XFR.
