Jaguars have actually improved since Tata took them over compared to the Ford and earlier days. Something about Tata investing more money into the company. Same as Volvo under Chinese ownership.

[@jonathang6522]

It was actually Ford that rescued Jaguar from extinction in the early 90's. Most of the problems Jaguar had in the 70's and 80's stemmed from the relationship with British Leyland. Many people have an outdated perception of both the Ford and Jaguar brands. Ford makes more reliable products than what people give them credit for. Thousands of high mileage Crown Victoria taxis, and Lincoln Town Car livery vehicles prove this fact.

@DDrummer not that hard bud

[@Cloud75770]

Ok, so I listened to Scotty's opinion on Jaguars. As a Jaguar enthusiast myself, who owns a 1996 Xj Vanden Plas edition I have the best experience of my life owning and driving this car. It has been my daily driver for almost 10 years. I do most of the preventative maintenance myself and guess what, my Jaguar is pushing almost 300,000 original miles on its 4.0 staright six engine , differential, and ZF transmission. I drive this car everyday in the streets of Arizona in that extreme heat, never overheated the engine, never broke timing chain, never damaged a piston. Only driving with Castrol Full Synthetic Titanium and Bosh filters. I will admit that these cars once you learn them, you can work on engine easy yourself , parts are cheap, less than $300 for certain components. I am planning to add may be another 100,000 miles before put the car to rest in a storage. AJ 16 Jag engines can last with proper maintenance up till 1 million miles. Most of you do not believe me, well my Jag is pushing the mileage limit and it keeps going. How's that for inspiration. Btw, driving a 1990s Jaguar and listening to Nalin & Kane- Beach Ball on my vintage Alpine Jaguar stereo is a pure Bliss.

[@jamesw7072]

I just purchased a 1995 Jaguar XJ6 with the 4.0 inline 6 cylinder engine for 400 bucks and all it needs is a fuel pump that I already brought for $100. Getting it put on today. Hope all goes well. It's a beautiful car.

[@Cloud75770]

@@jamesw7072 Great James. Once you put the new pump, which for this model is submerged in the fuel tank, full up the tank and drive the car for a few hours. Always remember, these single pump models can have their fuel pump last almost a decade, as long as you never go below 1/2 of unleaded fuel, usually (A91) and you keep adding Lucas Fuel Injection cleaner, every two weeks. Note, fuel keeps pump cold, so if you never go below 1/2 of fuel in your Jag you can save that pump and do not overheat it. When I replaced mine, the brand was WALBRO. I put the same model and I am also a happy driver. My old one lasted exactly 10 years considering the fact that I am driving my 96 XJ6 Vanden Plas every day in Arizona for the last 12 years where in the summer we reach 112F. The AJ 16 engine is bullet proof, the ZF 4 speed transmission is also very dependable, as long you replace trans.filter and oil. With rear differential , you will not have major issues as long as you replace oil on time and keep that high temp grease on its greasing points.Congrstulations on your purchase and drive the first generation of the legendary X300 Jag with a smile. Happy motoring.

Fan from India here. Tata makes reliable (not japanese reliable but still 2million kilometres and they still run) cars . They were originally more into trucks and stuff .Interestingly they were once going sell their motor division to ford. But the deal fell out because ford said the same thing Enzo Ferrari said to Lamborghini. Flash forward a few years and they bought land rover and jaguar. And recently they've been on a roll. Releasing some pretty good cars here in India. Also they make better jaguars than ford ever did.

They dont make or design them as owners, they just finance them, Jaguar has been very independent since Tata took over, especially as Tata engineers are not involved with Jaguar/Land Rover nor do they dig into Tata's parts bin like during BMW/Ford era

NeverTalkToCops1 I don’t Understand your comment sir ! If you take good care of any car it will always be a Good Car !

[@MitchGrooms]

Just seeing your KZbin name, We get what you are and all about and you to blast me for no reason.. There is nothing else you need to say because it would be "un-lawful" so go and hate on the cops like you do, in which that is NOT a good idea, They might need to cap you if you act a fool like in here!

[@MegaE46]

The 4.2 engine in the Jaguar XK 07-09 is pretty reliable check the Jaguar forums you will be surprised

[@patrickr9670]

MegaE46 Of course the Jaguar forums would praise Jaguar cars.

[@petrosaguilar8916]

@Patrick - More like give real life experience on top of the deserved praise. How many Jags have you owned?

[@Celestias]

Is it better than the xk's 2009+ 5.0 engine?

[@Celestias]

@MegaE46

[@jodycamper8955]

@@Celestias yes the 5.0s have timing chain issues on some of them. The 4.2s are an improved version of the 4.0s which had a ton of problems.

[@bigalthecrusher]

LOL at all the pictures, your sense of humor is awesome!

[@MrMackanno]

Jaguars are made in England, the new chasis and bodies are aluminum (no rust) and the Ingenium Diesel engines are the ONLY ONES not related to Audi, BMW, VW emission scandal of 5 years ago. To say new Jaguars are a money pit is irresponsible at best, Scotty

[@bigjml]

No Diesel engine fitted to any Jaguar came from BMW/Audi/VW. Land Rovers and Range Rovers came with the TD5 in TD6 from BMW but again that was too long ago to be relevant. The 2.7tdv6 and 3.0tdv6 are (or in case of the 2.7 were) a joint Ford/PSA/JLR design. And the 2.0tdci engine in the Mondeo based X Type was also a Ford engine with a camchain not a belt. Any car can be a money pit, My XJL was problematic but it also did well over 160k in the first 3 years. Three colleagues had XJLs of the same age and they had no issues other than one needing a forced DPF Regen. I don't think Jags are any less reliable than other complicated high end margues these days.

[@fengshuithecrip3922]

Exactly

[@135iN55]

Modern Jags are damn near bullet proof and have sensational performance. I trust Leno's characterization as nearly maintence free cars, he actually owns them.

[@vince7349]

@may day bmw tech says same thing of bmws

[@edstanton1997]

In my life time I have had seven Jags and only one was a problem the XJS V-12 was nothing but trouble, The 1969 XKE was almost trouble free and the XK 120 was near trouble free and I have a 2004 S type that just turned a 100K miles that has never had a wrench on it, It still has the brakes from the factory and factory spark plugs but it is garage kept and serviced.

[@peewee21345]

I have a 2016 Jaguar XF and have had no issues at all . It has 50,000 miles on it and is my daily driver. Just keep up oil changes and fluid changes and it will treat you good for the most part.

[@turnipsucks6416]

Another solid video. thank you.

[@johnunderwood7361]

I love all the pictures you use!!

[@rossbrumby1957]

I've owned 2 xj40's and the only fails have been an in tank fuel pump (Walbro made in USA) and an intermittent dying ignition module (GM made in Mexico). Great daily drivers- much nicer to drive than the Aussie Falcons and Commodores that are 10 years younger. 9.3 litres per 100 km on the highway is good too.

[@swgohclone4716]

My 01 VDP is my daily. I wouldn't trade it for anything other than another in better condition, with a supercharger. Thank you for helping me keep it on the road Scotty.

[@christianolsson834]

Got a daily driver S-type 3.0 200000 miles As reliable as my last one, mondeo, sold that at 350000 miles. Mind you Jaguar parts are cheap in europe. Great car and id rather repair that than repair a boring but equally reliable econobox. Jaguar got really good -93 ish after Ford took over. Only thing is i had to replace so far is a breather hose and the top radiator hose assembly which i knew needed replacement when I bought it. If you want the cheapest A to B car Jaguar isn’t the one but if you’re bitten by the Jag bug they’re not as bad as Scotty says. And if you don’t look after them they will be expensive money pits. As all cars.

[@DanielsCarTalkChannel]

Buy a Jag and keep it clean you’ll eventually have a nice looking lawn ornament.

[@er4028]

Plus you can get a good work out pushing it down the street.

[@bobshropshire2781]

The newer jags are excellent cars. The problem as with many car owner is the lack of general care. Scotty hasn’t driven a new one, I assure you of that yet speaks so definitive authoritatively. If you go to KZbin and look up the matchups against jaguar both XF as well as the XJ is no comparison not only the ride but also the handling of these cars out perform BMW, Audi, Cadillac and head to head matchup’s on the track. So Scotty needs to more homework , I assure you. Had my XF mine since 2010 and still getting complements.

[@jennyquinn1580]

thank you, you do answer every question i have

Quick question: is it possible to have a slightly higher fuel consumption after changing an old fuel filter?

[@ElvisClambake]

Actually, The x300 (XJ6 from '95 - '97) built after Ford taught Jaguar how to build cars indoors with powertools (and even the occasional robot, heaven forbid) are pretty reliable. The 4.0 Liter straight six is a beast and pulls like a freight train and is bullet proof along with the German ZF 4spd auto trans. The electrics are all DensoNippon and are waterproof and insulated. No more blowing the horn and the windshield wipers burst into flames. I got a '96 for $2,000 with 113k and I've been driving it 100 miles to work and back since last Sept. until the alternator went out. It's under a cover 'till spring and then , back to being my daily driver...

[@brandonbouchez7195]

The f types are so beautiful though! Not to mention the sound

[@Coasterdude02149]

When was the last time you owned a Jag? I've been driving them for the past 20 years and not one issue. My last was a 2018 XJR Supercharged....still have it, still love it, no issues.

[@exposingproxystalkingorgan4164]

This video information is very useful. 💯

[@jodycamper8955]

Been looking for my midlife crisis toy and have been researching the Jag XKRs with the 4.2 V8. Cars are probably the most reliable Jags ever built. I can buy a nice one for around 16 to 23k with low miles and good service history. Of course any sports car you buy especially foreign ones are gonna have costly maintenance and repairs but if you do your homework and have a good independent mechanic its doable.

[@nigerdupree4511]

Yeah because Ford owned Jaguar and land rover on that era 2004 and 2007

[@mr5stars254]

Feng Shui The Crip ... you got lucky, my 2014 Jag XJL is beautiful, but it been unreliable with oxygen sensor failure at 29k miles and water pump and coolant pipe leak at 32k miles, for a car with low mileages and easy relaxing driving , these component should not fail at such a low mileage. Thank God I took a extended warranty on my beautiful beast. I really like the car.

[@kerbytheslayer6181]

Yeah, new BMW’s are trash. Anything before 99 from BMW is trash.

[@mcgyverb1664]

A Modern jaguar without a warranty will definitely bankrupt your savings account.

[@mcgyverb1664]

- hey if you don’t believe us, just give it a shot, it’s not just jaguar, it’s the majority of modern luxury vehicles, just like Scotty says, they are endless money pits.

[@devongee1776]

- get yourself a new Land Rover or a Jag and come back to this thread in 3 years and tell me you still love it I'll wait

[@mcgyverb1664]

Devon Gee the only possible way I would recommend anyone to buy a modern luxury vehicle is if they themselves are willing to get their hands dirty, to do all the extortionist maintenance, other than that get ready to go bankrupt, my brother has a 2008 Mercedes Benz cls550 and it cost him $4,000 to replace the rare air suspension shock absorber, and he needed the front ones replaced, he spent nearly $9,000 just on air suspension replacement, whatever price tag these vehicles sold for, the long term owner will definitely re visit that amount probably in double the amount, to get these vehicles up to 150k miles you will probably have to dumb a half a million dollars in maintenance 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s much better to drive a Kia Sorento and keep your wallet in good health.

[@michaeljames9785]

It's true, I have the bank account and invoices to prove.

[@Siniverisyys]

I managed to get a good deal on my BMW X3 so I chipped in for a warranty. If it's a money pit, that's someone else problem now haha

[@harold5560]

I’ve own a jaguar f pace since 2018. It has 45k miles, no major issues. Maintenance is expensive, but nothing has ever malfunctioned.

[@SNAGZART]

hey scotty I have a 2003 Infiniti fx35 with 121xxx miles(had it for 4 years now). haven't had any major issues so far. do you think I can get another 100xxx miles on it? what should I look out for or expect? thanks keep up the good work!

[@rayestanley517]

I bought an '05 jag s type back in '12, never had an issue with it, best car I've ever had. Got t-boned hard by an Altima with my daughter in the passenger seat. No intrusion into the passenger compartment. Altima was unrecognizable

Hey Scotty... I am fan of ur channel since long time. I like to maintain all mechanical things in my home by myself & car is one of them. Ur channel has helped me a lot in understanding my car. I have genuine respect for your knowledge and efforts in car repairs. But u will agree that single person can not know everything about something. I request u to learn abot "TATA". Its not "some"company in India....Its big empire. Being Indian I am proud of TATA. Learn about Ford & TATA relations. please stay informed.

[@customdetailer0078]

Lextex I would absolutely agree with you as well. I use to turn wrenches many year's ago, and have been involved one way or another in the Automobile business for more then 30 year's. I do enjoy watching his Video's but he is very partial to certain brand's. Other's he simply thinks they are junk.

I have had two Jags. One of them a ‘00 XK8 and currently an ‘04 XKR with 66k miles on it. So far they have both proven more reliable than all 5 of my brother’s Mitsubishi Monteros that he has bought over the years and the BMW Z4 he sold last year. That Z4 never left the shop. My Jags? Only regular and preventative maintenance.

[@turbowhistler1]

I have a 72 Jaguar with alot of issues but im emotionally attached to it

[@petrosaguilar8916]

That's how Jaguars are. My first was rear ended and destroyed and it really made me pissed off. The second one I was forced to sell because of life circumstances. I actually had two buyers and one offered a high price but was a total retard who I knew would abuse it. I sold the beauty to a fellow enthusiast for less money to make sure he went to a good home.

Thanks Scotty you be correct on the Jaguar 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I had a 1987 Vanden Plas 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Beautiful / miss it

[@peterbrown6224]

Mine was a '78 VDP Daimler with a 350. Utterly reliable. Parts inexpensive (but that was Australia). Anyone out there reading this, if you swap out a V12 for a 350, put a four speed (or more) in it. Gearing's all wrong without overdrive. Rear brakes are a PITA but you can work around it.

[@Lionsgate_888]

I owned a Jag for 4 years, traveled 2 states, about 750-1000 per week. 100,000 miles after 4 years. All I did was change the oil every 3000 miles and drove it easy, not like a maniac. Not one problem.
