Its called an Upgrade! Maybe to a garbage truck... anything..LOL
Bill
Sorry to hear that. These are VERY safe cars thank god. Hope you are OK.
Hmm.. a 91 Sovereign with 140K? Sadly that car has a retail value of about $5,000. So how badly was it hurt? It is probably totalled.
Now, airbags in a 1991? Not installable without ENORMOUS modifications (Buying a used X300 would be cheaper). If you like XJ40s.. Why not a 93 or 94? Nice ones with reasonable mileage are well under $10K... A nice 95-97 for under $20K is a ton of car for the cash.
Or go to an XJ8. Get like a 2000 and stay in the low $30ks.. Just dont buy new. They lose over $20,000 in the first 2 years...

Who ya talkin to? Randy or Chad?

I got an "in" in there
Have you seen the Letter from the Town Hall Manager on the Town Hall Welcome page? If not, you might want to follow that link to have a look.
And hang on to your seats. Change is never easy - for any of us - but resolving the Search problems we've had will be worth the pain.

The mother-in-law cut was harsh, but she probably never fit into the back seat did she.
at Jaguar of Novi recommended trying a can of
dry gas but the problem still persist. Any suggestions
before I take it back to the Dealer ?

The moron who sold his old Arden XJR
As far as Quick Lube places? Aiiieee..... Not in any of my cars, ever!
The problem is they don't ever have the right filters for the cars. There are 3 brands of filters to use:
1) Jaguar
2) Unipart (Unipart is to Jaguar as Motorcraft is to Ford)3) Crosland (They make em for Jaguar/Unipart)
I have not seen one used by a quickie-lube yet that has the proper capacity or anti-drainback valve.
Don;t worry tho.. Bill Suter can R&R an Engine for under $1,000.. and used motors are available cheaply... like $800 or so ... lol..
Seriously, I have seen a few of the cheap filters blow off of these engines..an instant loss of oil pressure does awful things to these babies.
Hey, swing by the store when ya get a chance so I can give ya an app for the Jag club!

What would be a reasonable price for a very clean 1999 XJR with only 27K and Jaguar extended 100K waranty (3 years left).
Any input is greatly appreciated.

Bill in Maitland
PS.. I have an AWESOME mechanic near ya in Longwood.
Like we said before.. car isnt worth much, better to sell as-is. Try eBay for it BTW..
Bill
Maybe a pan gasket too? Neither is a huge deal.

Went to the auto store today for some transmission fluid. Only two brands were available on the shelf, the store generic brand dexron III and Castrol. I Bought the Castrol Dexron III/Mercon fluid. Castrol indicates this is certified and approved for cars calling for Dexron III or Mercon. Is this OK to use in the Jag trans as well as the power steering unit?

Time to change dealer,your oil filter should be part# EAZ-1354 and has a list price of $14.95.
They did get me with some little things-I still have only the one key set, the Jag phone was rewired for a different cell and it will cost $100 US for the replacement cord which I won't pay to restore analog service, a small repairable windshield crack=oddments really that all contributed to the good price I paid-28k USD for a black 98 XJR with under 50k miles and 2 years of Jag warranty. The Canadian prices at Jag dealers were all at least 5k higher. for anything close, and the dealer in Calgary Alberta was asking the same money for a 30k 95.
What a deal, I paid $32K for mine with 28,000mi. It now has 45,000..
If the car is at a dealership, check that it's had the XJ6 recall service performed. They will replace the EGR valve, chip and a couple other things. This is a free service.
My seat memory just failed and as Bill will tell you, the seat and steering wheel motors tend to give out over time. They are both covered by the extended warranty should you pay for it. If I had it all to do again, I think I would forgo the $1800 (or whatever it cost me) and just pay for minor repairs as they come up.
Solid car; rides nice; looks great;, gets about 21MPG hwy/17 City;
She'll do 110 without batting an eyelash (Bill's go MUCH faster!)
If you can afford it, buy it!
