1992 Jaguar XJS V12 review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fractured oil cooler (£300).
Radiator blocked (£400).
V12 has a tendancy to run hot so I am told but not a problem for me now with new radiator.
General comments?
Unleaded + twin cats. Not as thirsty as one might think. I average 17.5 mpg on a tankful and 20-21 on a run.
Have just obtained ridiculously cheap insurance (£237 fully comp) via Jaguar Drivers Club.
The buzz from this car is worth every penny it costs to run.
