Jaguar XJS Common Issues and Specialist Services | SP88
Common Issues with the Jaguar XJS
The Jaguar XJS is a classic luxury grand tourer that graced the roads from 1975 to 1996. While it’s known for its distinctive style and performance, like any vintage car, it has its set of common issues that owners and specialists may encounter:
- Electrical problems: The XJS often experiences challenges with its electrical systems, including aged wiring and malfunctioning switches.
- Rust and body corrosion: Due to its age, the XJS can suffer from rust, particularly around the wheel arches, lower body panels, and undercarriage.
- Cooling system failures: The cooling system in the XJS can be prone to leaks and overheating, often requiring attention to hoses, radiators, and the water pump.
- Suspension issues: Wear and tear on the suspension components, such as bushings and shock absorbers, are common, impacting the vehicle’s ride quality.
- Transmission problems: Older models, especially those with automatic transmissions, may experience sluggishness or failure in the transmission system.

EXCELLENT Based on 203 reviews Posted on Mark WadhamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Called one day and he was at my door the next. Ran a cable in my car for me in 10mins flat for a new audio system, would probably have taken me over an hour and I'd probably have broken something in the process. Also did quite a lot of tidying up, made everything neat, cleaned the battery terminals for me that had degraded and connected everything up. Made an existing connection that I'd made to the amplifier more sturdy. Did way more than I asked him to, clearly very experienced and knows what he's doing, will definitely use again!Posted on Peter BruceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Couldn’t be better. Turned up when he said he would. Diagnosed the fault. Ordered the part. Fitted it the next day.
