- I thought I should do another video of the Jag after a year of ownership.
Apologies for the sound quality again, dispite having the new mic, it was on the wrong setting so didnt work as well as it should have...maybe next time!

Great video, nice to here a good positive review, keep us posted on the Jag, great honest video, David.
Thankyou for your positive comments! Thanks for watching!
Great stuff, really good detailed video with practical issues explained, thanks mate.. definitely helped me make up my mind when I was torn between buying a used XF vs XJ.
Cheers !!!
Thanks for watching and for the comment! I'm glad it helped you make your decision. I am really going to struggle to find something as good to replace it when the time comes.
Great information / video! Bought a 2016 x351 a few months ago to replace a 2008 BMW E93. Mine is the short wheelbase, 470hp V8, with carbon fiber instead of wood. They addressed the sunroof issues (rail corrosion and creak), and updated the infotainment system, so it makes sense to spend a little more to get a 2016 - 2019 if those are dealbreakers for anyone. Still an amazing deal on the level of car you're getting. Love these... but they are long. You don't notice the size when driving, as they handle like a smaller car, but when you're in a tight carpark... you realize this is the same length (even in short wheelbase) as a Cadillac Escalade.
Great video, very informative and useful information!
Glad it was helpful!
I have driven Jags for over 30 years. Sold my 2008 XJ and bought a BMW 530D tourer to take the dog. Great car that I have never bonded with. Your video and the way you presented it was for me fabulous. Although I hate the rear end I will actively seek a 2018 model. Knowing it will loose £5K a year (if I'm lucky) is no worse really than any other car in its class. Thanks a lot mate for helping with the decision process - Appreciated
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and comment. I'm glad it was of use to you! Good luck with the search.
You make a strong case for a first year x351! New remote mic and additional exterior camera shots should make your next Jag video even better.. As a former x260 owner, the x351 (any year really) is pretty compelling.
Thank you for your feedback! Thanks for watching!
Great vid. I've just bought a late 2012 3.0ltr supercharged XJ portfolio with only 16,000 miles on it, I absolutely love it. I was very interested in the high mileage review so I can judge how mine will fare. I've been wondering about a gearbox service on it, even though it's only 16,000 miles it's still 10 years old, should I do one?
I rage bought this XJ because I had, still have, an XF 3.0ltr petrol V6 premium luxury with 114,000 on it on an 08 plate. I had the gearbox serviced at 85,000 miles and the thing started missing gears on the downshift so I went through all the cheap options, programming and a new GSM but it didn't change anything so I payed for a complete rebuild at £5000 with a new Mechatronix and it was just as bad after. The gearbox people seem to think it's due to a lean mixture code on the engine so £800 later to sort that and as I was pulling out of the Jag specialist it kept dropping out of gear. I had to abandon it, hence why I bought the XJ. The XF is still being sorted.
Hi, Thanks for watching the video and taking the time to comment! Sound like a bit of a saga with the XF, hopefully the XJ will be more successful! Personally I would get the gearbox oil and filter changed, regardless of miles its to do with what the car was used for and its one of those things that town driving is actually much worse for an auto than motorway miles! Good luck!
This car seems like a legit upgrade from the 2010-2019 Taurus Limited. I've watched plenty of reviews of both. Jaguar actually fitted alot of the interior with premium pieces that will not fade over time. Ford really really cheaped out on the Taurus' interior even though it was their flagship sedan for years, i dont understand it. My Taurus is rife with quality control issues and it only had 1 owner before i purchased it, i recently found out it may have been manufactured at a Lincoln plant which also produced defective Lincoln models of the same chassis. Alot of plastic parts or faux metal or faux wood, not the actual thing. i found i should've gotten the Continental or MKS Ford loaded those things with better quality interiors(in my opinion) anyway i feel it would be a great move to have this be a rideshare vehicle in the future. Any opinions are welcome
Brilliant video ! Have u still got the XJ mate
Hi, I don't unfortunately, I sold it to try electric (video coming soon). However I will get another one soon, probably a V8 though this time! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Great informative video, just looking at a r-sport 17 plate now with 60,000 miles and full jaguar service history for £23000...should I be hesitant at the price or just go right in ?
60k miles seems low, the only thing to consider is that autos that have only done town mileage still need oil and filter changes. It's getting close to 10 years old so worth considering factoring in a gearbox service. I would go in at £21.5k with that as a caviat, timing belts will need doing soon but in all honesty it should be fine. Just keep a few thousand back in a 'just in case' fund. A lot of the price on these cars is very dependent on spec so it's difficult to say if it's a good deal but it doesn't sound too far off.
Good video on this vehicle. Only downside had to put volume up so high to hear muffled commentary.then engine and wind noise was a problem
Apart from that ok
Tha k you for the feedback, I am still trying to find a reliable mic for the go-pro, I think I might have to look at other camera options. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and comment!
How about these bushs, joint balls, or suspension strus?
As far as I know looking through the service paperwork mine was on all original parts at 140k with no knocks.
Hi how do you reach the rear part of sunroof rails please what brush did you use?
I didn't end up doing anything to the rails, they didn't deteriate enough to cause a problem. It was always one of those things on the list that just kept getting lower and lower until I sold the car. Thanks for watching the video and taking time to comment!
Hi after praising the car in the video do u mind me asking why you sold it in the end
Hi, I sold the car because it was my wife that was driving it most of the time and we just didn't need such a big car any more, having the discovery meant we could down-size the other car and get something super economical to offset the V8!
Hi! How did you got those fuel consumption numbers? The ones you mentioned are even better than the ones advertised by jaguar. There is no chance you get that. How is that possible? I'm serious. I'm getting a combined consumption of 35MPG.
They are incredibly frugal engines! Don't forget this one is diesel, 35mpg is petrol territory. 55mpg on a run was a regular occurrence and backed up by calculation between fuel stops. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and comment!
@@JPKMotorsportWorkshop yes yes, mine is diesel. Same engine as yours. I don’t see anyone around the internet getting what you just claimed. They all get around 35/40mpg.
I can't report on how other people drive, 35/40mpg is what people are quoting from the same engine in the discovery 4s. I don't drive fast 95% of the time, my daily drive is 50% 'A' roads and 50% motorway and I would always get 45mpg on a 20 mile drive. I rarely boot it away from roundabouts and always coast up to roundabouts, only using brakes if absolutely necessary. I'm currently in an Audi EV and thats a whole other level of efficient driving!
Good contents, and good to hear your views however, get yourself a microphone I’d stop watching due to all the wiper blade and car noises
How reliable is the engine??
They seem fairly good, usual diesel issues, injectors and egr valves and there is always the risk of a dpf blockage but that's the same on any modern diesel. They are the same engines that are in the Discovery 4s etc so technically are prone to crank failures but they are no where near as common, I guess due to no towing and the weight of the car. Incredible engines though, 0-60 in 6s but still returns 55-60mpg, and so smooth! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
@@JPKMotorsportWorkshop how about the petrol engines?
The petrol engines are a million times more reliable! Known as JLRs most reliable engines. Still a few common issues with cooling and thermostat housings but much cheaper to fix.
I hate that finger snapping!
Great stuff but get a decent mic👍
Thanks for the comment! I am working to try and find a decent mic that works with the go-pro.
Sound quality is terrible. I used subtitles. And turned of after a few minutes..
Apologies, I am working to try and get a working microphone. Hoping the next one should be much better. Thanks for the feedback!
