XJ40s, especially six cylinder cars, are pretty bulletproof if you properly maintain them. Early cars do have problematic electrics and fuel delivery issues are known. 1990 cars and on are the best ones to get.

My L322 cost £1100 to purchase. I have spent some time and money on it. Still here and won’t be going anywhere. As you have found out Matt, they drive absolutely fantastic and the driving expensive is unique. Reference the air suspension. First turn the steering wheel from lock to lock. This will temporarily turn the lights off. Long term it will be the steering angle sensor. Easy to change, if awkward. Also a fantastic way of getting L322 content without actually purchasing one.

@richard3004 3 месяца назад

Great cars if looked after, had a few of them, currently have a jag engines 4.2sc v8 one. Warning lights and air suspension is more than likely abs sensor, easy job but normally need drilling out as they corrode in. Wheels on that arnt right for the engine/ age. Look out for failing gearbox’s but at 250,000 it will have had one or two rebuilds, GM5 speed isn’t the most hard wearing. Look out for front and rear subframe corrosion, it can look heavy but good hammering can remove it and then wax it, they are substantially built so don’t rot through too easily. Check rear arches and sills behind the plastic sill trim as they rot there. Otherwise look after it and there great machine, parts are cheap too.
