affordable classics? My XK8 has regular issues, Rapid battery drainage due to a damp door module eventually solved when the drivers door plastic panel was replaced, First clutch in the auto broke the only positive being easy to diagnose, Some bodywork restoration. Currently the hydraulic rams that operate the convertible hood are on their way back from the USA having been refurbished, cheaper than buying jag originals at a thousand quid.Next year I’m planning to have the hood replaced. Two grand. The module that coordinates engine and gearbox has signs of problems.
Despite everything I will never sell it.
You need a good independent Jag specialist and an alternative car
