I owned a 2001 XJ8 hit a patch of ice on freeway going 80mph an rolled it on concrete 6 times (witness count) car smashed all around me walked away with a detached retina which healed an scratch on my nose. This car saved my life.
I hit a wet patch in my 97 xj6 , spun out and smashed into a telephone pole then slid 360 the opposite direction into a tree , all i had was a blury eye for a few days from the airbag , these cars are great for protecting the passengers
I thought you were gonna say how good the handling is but this is suffice
You were driving too fast without due care and attention!
i owned a 1999 daimler super v8 when a driver cut in my lane on the motorway ..ended up braking in sleet and black ice car hit the barrier at 110mph flipped 3 times with 3 kids and a new kitten inside ..rolled back over on its wheels and drove it back home 30miles away ..this car truly saved me and my family ..&& the kitten ..AMAZING
Fucking sold me m8
+Nobody and me!
ABBAS ALI why would one drive at 110mph in adverse conditions with their family in the car? Glad you made it. You were lucky.
jaguar xj6 sovereign 1985
ABBAS ALI the kids must have need new pants for the next 30 years
Monarchs of luxury. The last of the great Jag breed. Beautiful lines. Beautiful coach. After 2003 Jaguar died.
No I believe it died in 2007.
+EXPECTEDTUNA (ExpectedTuna786) No. 2003 was the last model year for all steel Jag.
John Ward wasn't the s type steel also 2008 was the death of jaguar 2003 was just a terminal illness
pokejag 04 garage s type was an abortion of a car.
Ford took over in late 1990's and saved the day. When Ford left.. it died.
I own 2003 jaguar xj8/ x308 I bought it 13 yrs. ago it has only 71 thousand miles. Everything original except the tires. No rust at all I'm still happy with it no problem at all
I own a black 98 xjr. Bought it without doing homework. Had to put a new engine in it after 3 weeks. Also, recently spent 5K welding the vmounts, new break linings, petrol linings, exhaust, petrol pumps, radiator and much more. Put best part of 11k repairs in last 6 yrs not to mention the thirst for 98 octane. But I love it. I love the way she just sits there being sinister, timeless and pretty. I love the way she brings me to any location in style. I love the way she humiliates a lot of modern cars at the lights effortlessly. Cars just aren't made like this anymore. It's understated and the sound of the supercharger will never ever get boring.
This is a great video that I've not seen before. Thanks
Douwe van Moerkom I'm glad you love your jag as much as we all love ours , happy wrenching
I've found that having good spark plugs & esp coil packs really changes the car's performance. I've done the Vee mount area too. What a nightmare
Douwe - I've had an '02 XJ8 3.6 for ten years. Apart from tyres and two batteries, all that's failed is a single coil. I live in Blighty, by the way. I love mine, too. Hope you have no more trouble with your old girl!
Didn’t do my homework got a xj8 wish I got the xjR
I just purchased a 2004 Jaguar XJ8. It has only 59k miles on it. It's my first Jag and is a very beautiful, luxurious, and supremely comfortable car. 👌🏽 Thanks for this video. I learned so many features I didn't know it had. 🙏🏾
if its a 2004 its not this car
Own a 2004 xj v8 super 4.2 390 bhp does it go ,you bet,what a fantastic car,still drives faultless.What a pleasure to drive and own.Fast,smooth 6 speed auto,so good.LOVE IT.When Jaguar were Jaguar.
I am planning on buying a XJ8 2006.
Any piece of advice for me?
@@raphaelferns All I can say is have a mechanic check it over.Full Service history a must.
Not great mpg but a blast to drive and own.Only 173 of them made I believe.Aluminium body.Auto j gate 6 speed a dream .
2004 = aluminum crap
@@adamgoodman5887 Only if all the aircraft made of aluminium are also crap... Safer, lighter, and stronger. Hard to argue against unless you work in the steel industry. I know the one I drive sure seems as high quality as the '03 or '02... and it's faster.
Just bought a used XK8. While not the exact same, this was very useful. Thank you for the upload.
The XK8 is my dream car! I want one that is a convertible and finished in British Racing green! I want the car either a 1999 or a 2000
The Best jaguar ever
Thank you for posting this, Mr. Beasley.
If the gear selecter lever gets jammed in park, Remove the star plug in the J-Gate and push the key down inside to release lever, used happen a lot.
I own a jaguar sovereign 4.2. 2006 model, im the 4th owner and it still purrs. Everything still work's only sat nav is out of date other then that no complaints. I absolutely love driving up and down the m4!!!!
I have the XJ6 Exec (2006 MY) which is proving difficult to replace as the last was built in 2009. They are now quite rare, it seems. Has many of the features explained here and is a beautiful car. Keeping it on the road is an expensive luxury but well worth it (about £3K per annum). There is a minor paint issue with the aluminium underneath ‘powdering’ at vulnerable points, corner of the door seams/bumper etc. This will be an expensive resolve but again, well worth it. A fabulous vehicle, silent in operation, cruising on the motorways is quiet and the engine ‘purrs’ while the bumps of the road are smoothed out by the advanced independent suspension. A unique and sought after marque. Beautiful car.
U know when the XJ are so luxury and fancy, is when they gave u a green key just for the valet driver
I like the happy mic @ 28:15
I'm so glad the stock satnav didn't work. Didn't realise you needed patience of a saint just to get started
Dream on car! I just get mine XJ8 1998
I simply love it!
nice, can you add a radio on there by yourself??
are they reliable
+CJ Washington yes you can do it! But a little experience is always welcome
+Yindé iroll well so far mine is reliable!
+Milton Orozco no problems with the differential or gear selector
Thank you.❤
Oh I forgot THX for the video
Monarchs of style and luxury
John Ward
John Ward do you type that on all pre2004 jaguar videos I have seen you every were
pokejag 04 garage not all but many. I have owned several Jags. These X308 Jags will rise in value as the years move on, thus I like putting my marked on history. Someday I’ll post my videos of my mint showroom 2003 Platinum Silver XJ8 Vanden Plas. Elegance personified. Love these X308 cars and their rich history. The awful upright styling, poor aluminum build quality of the X350 was an abomination. The 2003 (X308) XJ8 was the last of the best.
Check out that Navi wow!
I was walking across the interstate and a 1998 Jaguar XJ8 hit me at 140 mph. I wasn't harmed but the Jaguar flipped 88 times and then hit a wall. All 28 passengers were safe and apologized for the accident. They drove away from the accident, after that day I found out I had hepatitis c. That's why I drive Jaguar
Wait... what?!
Bravo 👏 nice marvel story
Hahahaha
If you champfer the edges of the valet key you can open the boot.
Holy shit lmao
Just bought a 2001 Jaguar XJ8 VDP :D
Not on the road yet- need to change all fluids, knock sensor, and the usual filters. Any tips would be great !
PureJAg has been awesome as well, check him out! Nicest guy!
Love this video! Thanks for sharing!
Cherish it. Garage it.

Is there a similar video for the X350 generation? Very good and informative
Haven’t found one? Would be nice
Naaa that gen ruined it and it’s aluminum not steel.

21 and bought an XJS 2001.💪
20 and bought a 2002 XJ8 💪
17 and got 2000 xj8 VP
21 and bought a 2000 XJR
I've had two Jags and the gear boxes went on both of them. I'd never buy another.
Funnily enough the gearboxes were German and the same ones found in the Mercedes.
I really wanted an XJ 308 but my head told me to get a BMW E39 525. I loved the e39 but it certainly was not reliable. Alternator went twice, thermostat was faulty which caused the engine to overheat, I had to get a replacement head, then the master cylinder went.
I still think the e39 is a better car, and I really loved it, but I think the XJ just has that X factor that other cars don't quite have.

The video clip that present jaguar car as poor man rolls Royce is a big blow or knock out on the products. It sells negative and wrong image against the long time prestigious record of Jaguar cars.Thanks
Nice looking cars but garbage quality
