Jaguar XJ8 - 4 months in, STILL BROKEN?
Time for an update on the 2002 Jaguar XJ8 Sport (X308 type), and what better place to do it than at a mid-week testing session at the Oulton Park racing circuit?
In this video I talk about work done to date, including jobs undertaken since the last Jaguar update, and whether any of this has helped eradicate the regular error codes and breakdowns that I'd been experiencing.
If you're new to the Old Classic Car channel, this old 3.2 litre V8 XJ8 had seen sat outside a garage looking more than a little forlorn for several years. I decided that it'd make a good candidate as a wafter, especially for longer trips to shows, museums etc. But this plan would only work out if I could persuade it to stop throwing up multiple error messages and dropping into "failsafe" mode, ie limp mode. A lot of time has been spent on Jaguar XJ8/X308 forums, reading about how other people have dealt with these commonly-encountered ailments.
As there were a number of interesting old cars at Oulton Park on the day of recording this, I grabbed a few clips and have included them here.
