1990 Jaguar XJ40 soveriegn review from UK and Ireland
"A lot of car for little money, but expensive to keep going"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought the car in the u.k. for £900 (was £1350) needed a new sub frame and a couple of tyres for the mot. Got the subframe done for £150 (labour) Tyres are something else, cheapest I could find was £135.00 each.
A couple of faults with the heater blowers not working, needed a new control unit which came with the car.
Now everything is sorted it seems fine! hope to hell it doesn't go wrong again too quickly.
General comments?
It is a lot of car got the money, but is expensive to run and maitain. I have had two jaguars in the past and once you've had one, you want another one!
Performance is good for a car this size, and it handles well too, be careful in the wet though.
