I love my XKR Convertible 2012 model which I hasten to add has been regularly serviced by main dealers OR jaguar specialists however the list of
Timing chain Tensioners - replaced (very expensive)
Coolant reservoir issues - engine overheating - as a result of split/cracked pipes - all replaced
A/C not working - refrigerant leak as a result if degraded pipes - replaced
Engine mount failure
New Radiator
New DAB/Audio unit
The list is extensive but the latest issue which rather concerned me and should concern all XKR owners is a petrol leak as a result of a badly degraded petrol tank gasket resulting in a breakdown at traffic lights and fuel all over the tarmac!
To sum up, a great car and an exciting drive but..............VERY expensive to maintain and NOT trouble free motoring that's for sure.
I should dearly like to discuss the list of issues with Ian Callum over a coffee.
