Hello 101RRS,

I am a Jaguar novice so thank you for the insight on the type of engines in these cars. I saw an advertisement which did not detail the engine specification. The engine looked like a six cylinder so I assumed it was the 4.2 litre engine. I am hoping that the advertisement will soon disappear so the temptation will leave too. Nope, it is still there.

Kind regards
Lionel

Yep, the Jag will be for sale shortly - just not using it enough to justify keeping it and would prefer someone buy it that will do it justice - which is the same reason I’m selling the RRC as well. Life’s changed a lot for me in the last few years and I just don’t have the time for multiple vehicles any more.

So the update is - new battery, started and driven and just fixing up a few minor issues - there was a small coolant leak and this turned out to be the thermostat housing - found one in Italy for a good price and it got here before some stuff I ordered at the same time from Sydney.

Coolant system is now 100% and I just need to detail it before I put it on the market.
