1998 Jaguar XJ8 review from North America
"Beautiful but full of problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I am now replacing the engine due to a tensioner issue. We have sent countless letters to Jaguar, and were told the car is out of warranty and the problem is not a known issue.
The car has gone in for many electrical problems, cup holder breaks and suspension problems. I would like to be involved in the class action lawsuit as well.
General comments?
The car has only 68k and has had lots of problems, and very little support from the dealerships on repairs.
