Jesse beautiful informative honest video about Jags and Stealerships!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it

So far I'm at around a thousand a year for maintenance on my 1991 XJ40 that I own since spring 2021. That's by doing everything myself! So the XJR wasn't that bad in the end, for so many years. Nevertheless, I'd still check the upper timing chain tensionners when/if the valve cover gaskets needs to be done. Adam of Living with a Classic has a recent video doing that.

I'm not sure exactly how much I spend a year, but $1,000 does sound about right. It's great that you've been able to keep your Jaaag maintained and on the road. I'll definitely check the upper timing chain tensioners and thanks for the tip about Adam's video

This video shows a XJR 1999 to 2003 can be expensive to maintain. Later cars had a better AJ33 engine. One they fixed the timing chains stretching issue and broken tensioners on later engines. But the body shape of the XJR and XJ8 had a cigar flat shape for the LWB.

I like to black out my chrome around the windows, slightly lower the car to having no wheel arch gap and stiff the suspension. My XJR car is a bit bouncy and wobbly taking corners at 85mph even with Sport modes CATS on.

[@XJJesse]

I like your idea I might do the same for my 97 XJR6

[@alexandrecouture2462]

Lettuce begin! 😂 Have fun with your XJR!

[@XJJesse]

That's hilarious! I do be sounding like I say that 🤣

[@JeffreyDelano]

Hi I have a 1988 xj6 that has the gm lt1 conversion wondering if you have had a conversion love your channel

[@XJJesse]

Bro that sounds awesome! I tried swapping a series 3 before but didn't finish it. I still have the engine mounts maybe one day I'll try it again. Thanks for the love and support!

This is "normal" for the 1998+ XJ8! Jaguar went from a bullet-proof 1995-1997 XJ6 to excessive reliability issues with the 1998 XJ8! . Improvement did come about 2001, but still, the XJ8 was junk in comparison to the reliability of the XJ6!

[@XJJesse]

I agree, the XJ8 doesn't match the reliability of the XJ6. The plastic engine components aren't great, but the car is still a lot of fun to drive and it's fast!
