There are two listed with same color, equipment, and miles. One in TX, the other in Southern CA. There is a $4,000 difference in the advertised price. The SC is $26,900 and the TX is $22,900. This is just one example of area differences.
So, who is offering the best prices, where? Thank you for your input.
Having been through every inch of Texas Cars Directs entire operation in excruciating detail, (I mean EVERY inch) I can tell you emphatically that you are wrong and honestly, you either don't know what you're talking about or your simply trying to spread untruths.
1) they don't have a body shop of any kind.
2) I've seen the cars they buy immediately after coming back from auction, they are NOT "dogs."
And no, I've never bought a car from them, so I'm not posting this to alleviate some cognitive dissonance. You're simply not telling the truth. Sorry.
I have the same problem with my Jaguar XJ 2001 trac not availalbe comes up, initially it was once in a blue moon but now it starts to come more often.
It starts to happen now as well when i am driving, the engine goes in failsafe mode.
When I restart the car a few times it solves the problem.
Can you tell me what the problem is?
Thanks

I have the same problem with my Jaguar XJ 2001. Initially the 'trac not available' error came once in a blue moon when i started the car but no it's getting more frequent, even when i drive slow in traffic jams.
Assuming that your problem is fixed, what eventually solved it?
Thanks
Anno
have had no more problem. This problem just about drove me mad as it had new plugs
and yet this being the problem. I would be driving and this light would come on and I would only hope in making it home and fear of going any distance.
Good luck!

Feel free to post your own questions, though!
Also, their A/C coolant gets recharged after a year?
I've read that Jaguars are more reliable now. Is that true, or advertising? Dare I return, after swearing them off a decade ago?
Lawyer I would back off or do some checking as few seem to have the time for proper upkeep .

There are a number of A/C sealers on the market and most all are the same and have been found to work with small leakage.
Thanks,

make big bucks. You need only remove the valve covers unbolt and lift the cam shaft
and the top Tensioner can be replaced. It took me less than three hours to change out
both on mine. Good Luck and get back with me!

Thanks for your advice. The dealer told me that it would take around 12 hours since they have to remove so many parts to get to the core. They told me majority of the work is labor, assuming $120/hour, that is about $1500 just for labor. Not sure why the parts would cost and additional $1200. How much are these parts ? He indicated once there you might as well as change all related parts (good or bad) as they will eventually need to be replaced and it would make sense to change them all. This is why I wanted to reach out to someone high up in Jaguar to share the issues. Gary Temple who is the President of Jaguar used to be in charge of Customer Service. I am hoping to get his contact email address and ask for support.
I purchased my Tensioner from Jaguar Cleveland PH:440-542-0601 and received via UPS total cost for both $152.17 parts number CA21511 C2A1512 for the new design.
When you unbolt the cam shaft, lift the rear and take the chain off the Tensioner and replace. Do not take the chain off the cam shaft.
Anyone who has a Jag. XJ8 should replace these with the new design, and they should have been recalled but Ford is now out of the loop.
i drive a xj8, it been a bit quarky but a great. I'd buy it again. The 98 will have more and better technology. The v8 has DOHC. Seems too have a smoother feel.
high mileage isn't as important as the maintenance history. Also, you can make minor repairs all day but a beat interior or worn out paint is difficult and expensive to overcome.
YOu should get one-They are an experience to drive!! Good Luck!!
I bought a 2001 XJ8 and have been looking for an updated Alpine DVD. I finally bought one on Ebay (made 2003 in Great Britain). It says XJ Range XK
Range, but it doesn't work in my car! I know you posted this comment years ago but I'm trying to research this problem and getting nowhere fast. Does anyone know anything about up-dateing DVD"s? Thank you.
Thank you,

My friend had a 2002 XJ and was tired of getting ripped off at the dealer for mechanical repairs and maint...I recommended my local Goodyear dealer/repair shop and they did his brake job for hundreds less than the dealer...now, certain things may be dealer-only, but many mechanical things that require routine maintenance can be done by independent shops quite well...especially on a 10 year old car where the parts may be available from suppliers other than Jag...
Dennis
Thanks again!
engine over as you can end up with much damage or engine replacement. Now I would remove the valve covers and check the timing chain tensioners before doing anything.
If you try and start the engine with a valve out of order from a failed tensioner get ready for another engine. If you find a failed tensioner do not remove the chain from the cam shaft (important) unless you have the new tensioner ready to install and mark the chain and cam shaft gear before removing the cam shaft. Compression is when a engine turns over and will not start, maybe valves out of order or engine worn out and will not compress fuel mixture when spark is received.

I'll be sure and keep you up on my progress, or lack there of, with regards to the Jags repairs. Thanks for all your help....you've been very imformative, and I really appreciate it.
