1999 Jaguar Vanden Plas VDP review from North America
"I love my Jag, but I wish the hub caps would stay on"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hub caps fall off no matter what the glue is.
Airbag light on (bad seat sensor).
Rear view mirror (liquid bad).
Have to add 6 oz. coolant to fill the tank every six months.
Do not !! Do not !! Ever wash this engine off with water. Only wipe off with damp rag. Water will run into sparkpug holes and short out the ignition. Take off spark plug covers and blow out water with air compressor. Then it will start.
General comments?
It rides like a floating cloud (nice ride).
4.0 engine does not use any oil at 99,000 miles! I can't say that for my old F-150 at 2 quarts!
Rear doors squeaky on rough roads.
No engine problems so far at 99,000 miles engine runs very well. Super unleaded only !!
I have never had so many people come up to me and tell me what a nice Jag you have!!
Windshield wiper arm is easy to hit when starting, and can be turned on while turning steering wheel.
