Thanks for the information you have provided, hopefully anyone considering buying it will read this first and avoid buying a basket-case

Hi Bill.

Albeit it seems like you may have got a bargain, if it is Oil pump, bottom end engine wear or other related issues then this may cost vastly more than possibly fitting another engine and go from there.

It would be prudent to take some true readings....e.g. Oil pressure, compression, leak-down, etc to determine exactly what is going on inside the engine.

Keep up updated as always keen to know any related issues with these engines and good luck

Hi Allan....welcome to the Forum

It's a difficult one and something we have never encountered before and hopefully never will in the future.
I'm of the belief that we should only use the car as you are currently (and sensibly) using it but this will accelerate any issues with the car including huge drain on the battery if only used for a short distance which won't give it a full charge.

I suppose the ultimate answer is not use the car, keep it on trickle charge and/or disconnect the battery. This would then necessitate more frequent shopping trips but then this would lead to more exposure to the virus...viscous circle really 

Stay Safe and good to have you onboard

As we are in lockdown and trying to find things to occupy our time, polishing the car seems quite popular with the majority of us.

So, what do you think is the best polish to use on your paintwork?

Nuttyspark If you're missing the Ford ownership that much I could create a special section for 'Ford now Jaguar owners' 🙂

I think also a post needs to happen for the 'Cleanest Cars' as I know this is occurring nationwide with the lovely weather and boredom setting in with the majority of people washing and polishing their cars...maybe 'Before & After' photos ?

Hi Tony......welcome to the Club

Its a fine looking XJ and lovely for it to be fully loaded and original.
It's waited this long to come out of hibernation whats a little longer on the scale of things I suppose.

The pump may settle down once its been used for a while, best bet is wait and see what occurs.

All enthusiasts are more than welcome and good luck with getting the XF that you want
