Many thanks, JOC, will advise my mechanic to check.

I’ve just purchased a 2006 XJR with 169k miles - FSH and stacks of invoices showing what’s been done. Surprisingly it hasn’t needed ( and doesn’t currently need) replacement air suspension although appreciate that it will at some point. The prices I’ve seen vary wildly and the eBay Chinese versions look like very good quality ( the days of Chinese goods being rubbish appear to have all but disappeared especially for items like this). So just to be sure, I’d like to know if anyone has fitted these versions and what they think of them please. text.txt

My Jaguar was getting evermore reliable, but maybe I allowed myself to become complacent, which can be tempting fate with a Jaguar. Tuesday saw wall-to-wall rain in this part of the country. It was relentless. I had an appointment to keep, so hurried out to my XF expecting it to do what it has done a thousand times before. I pressed the buttons on the key fob, but it failed to respond. There wasn't even enough juice in the battery to work the folding mirrors. I hadn't got time to deal with it then, so I had to leave it until the next day. Wednesday was overcast, but dry enough to permit me to check out a few things. Anticipating a totally dead battry, I attached my power pack and gave the car a quick boost. She started first time. I then did another rudimentary check of the systems and everything seemed OK. I noticed the carpet in the driver's footwell was wet, and that never happens, but it gave a clue as to where the source of the problem lay. The Jag sits out in all weathers and is little affected by anything and everything the weather throws at it, so what changed in the meantime. Was it just the rainy inclement weather causing the issue? There are lots of videos detailing various remedies for soaking wet electrics, so you probably know where this is going, except this seemed to cure itself - not quite. A couple of months ago, my youngest daughter came home in the Jag and told me the windscreen had been chipped whilst negotiating road works. The insurance company soon took care of it, which pleased me. Those quick-clear windscreens can be expensive. Here's the crunch. The replacement screen wasn't sealed properly at the bottom corner. Apart from drying it out and resealing everything, I have to look on the bright side and say, I got away with one.

Hi Jezz I haven't tried it myself, as I don't have the software or really have the time to learn. But I am often fascinated by the spoof "Have you seen the what new 2026 Morris Minor (or whatever) videos?" that people put up on YouTube. Have you thought of offering it as a bit of an earner I bet there are quite a few Jagsters out there that would love a way to get a pic of their dream car, I have a desire at the moment to see what my XKR would look like with some majorish mods, you know, just playing around with a few ideas in my head but don't want to spend the money, time, and cost of parts, re-spray.......... Just an idea, but it does intrigue me. Jim Evans

2007 Jaguar XKR 4.2 Supercharged Coupe – KM07 XKR – 123,800 Miles – £10,500 KM07 XKR – PRIVATE REGISTRATION INCLUDEDI'm reluctantly offering my 2007 Jaguar XKR 4.2 V8 Supercharged Coupe for sale. £10,500 123,800 miles | Automatic | Deep Blue Metallic | Ivory Leather | Burr Walnut I've owned the car as an enthusiast/project car and have invested around £6,000 in recent repairs, maintenance and improvements. The intention has been to recommission and improve the car rather than simply run it as a daily driver. It has now been recently detailed, drives extremely well and presents beautifully. Specification4.2 V8 Supercharged Automatic 123,800 miles Deep Blue Metallic Ivory leather interior Burr walnut dashboard and centre console 20-inch alloy wheels Private registration KM07 XKR – included and remains with the car Original service book 14 service stamps MOT until 18/09/2027 Extensive supporting paperwork and receipts Dedicated binder containing the car's history and expenditure Recent workApproximately £6,000 has been spent on repairs, maintenance and improvements, including: Front and rear discs and pads Spark plugs Throttle housing/seal work A/C condenser A/C compressor ABS sensor and rear axle wiring loom Exhaust leak repair Fuel filter and differential oil New battery Headliner Wheel repairs Krown Rust Proofing Undertray and associated repairs Various other mechanical and cosmetic work The car will be serviced by myself before sale, and receipts for the service parts will be retained with the vehicle paperwork. MOT / advisoriesThe car has a valid MOT until 18/09/2027. The latest MOT contains two advisories/minor defects: Advisory: Rear sub-frame corrosion – “corroded but not seriously weakened.” Minor defect: Nearside rear upper suspension arm ball-joint dust cover severely deteriorated. I have decided not to replace the dust cover at this stage as it is recorded as a minor defect and does not affect the car's performance or drivability. The car has also had Krown Rust Proofing carried out. I'm deliberately mentioning the MOT advisories for complete transparency. The car is available for inspection and the full history, receipts and MOT paperwork will be available to the prospective buyer. A genuine enthusiast's carThis is not a car being sold as a cheap, untouched example. A considerable amount of work has already been carried out, and I've retained the receipts and paperwork to document it. The combination of: 4.2 Supercharged V8 + Deep Blue Metallic + Ivory leather + Burr Walnut + 20-inch alloys + KM07 XKR makes this a particularly attractive XKR. The car has recently been detailed and looks and drives fantastic. I'm now looking for the next enthusiast to enjoy it. £10,500Viewing welcome and inspection encouraged. Genuine Jaguar/XKR enquiries only please. Please message me through the forum initially and I'll provide my mobile number to serious interested buyers.
