Timing Chain

Postby Billys » Sat Aug 04, 2012 8:27 pm

Dear All

I am considering a purchase of a genuine 76k mileage 2001 XJ308 3.2 Sport

Do I need to be concerned re timing chain tenshioners & are the ones fitted to this engine year any better or more reliable than the earlier ones fitted?

The car has a full Jag service history

Billy,

In simple terms, you need to know that they've already been replaced or budget for replacements.
