1997 Jaguar XJ8 review from UK and Ireland
"Unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine floods very easily if it has not warmed up. Will not restart even when looked at by AA. Have had had to have it towed to garage on several occasions & have been told by dealer that this was a design fault. Is there any way round this or obvious first aid that I can carry out at time of flooding?
General comments?
Otherwise nice looking & comfortable.
