I've now sold the XJ8 4.0L LWB so no need for the gruel.
With thanks for the Red X food parcels though...

My 3.2L is still up for sale until I complete the 4.0L's sale later this week. Then it's out to get its tensioner sorted.
Doesn't click-click-click when cold started but hey, at 122k its just waiting to give no doubt. :roll:

XJ8 3.2L Sport

Postby RichardSEL » Tue Apr 18, 2017 7:17 am

I've had the timing chain tensioner checked and one or two other things done. So it's for sale again -- this time at what I think it's worth -- at last prices are starting to reflect what a fine car the X308 was.

And here's my other: a standard Executive For Sale
http://www.jaguarclassifieds.org.uk/?pa ... &highlight

Of the two, the Sport offers the harder ride, just perceptibly
The Sport has the higher miles, longer MOT, but more previous keepers
The standard Exec has the shorter current MOT, lower miles, and only four previous keepers. It has power fold electro-chromic dimming mirrors and metallic paintwork
Both have metal timing chain tensioners, and steel cylinder liners

The Executive's now got one year MOT and is £3,850 at:

And the Sport's £3,750 at:

Due to the fresh classifieds board installed by our team (thanks guyz :wink: )
the above URLs no longer work.

In the meantime try:
http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C872102
and
http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C909526

Both are 2001 so no Nikasil cylinder coating worries; both have had timing chain tensioners up-rated for
the metal type; both have had ATF and filter changed...

Both are sub-£3,900 :shock:
