Both of its solenoids were drawing too much current (one of which was tested at over 6 amps, an 850% over-current condition!): There is no over-current fault-protection circuitry that protects it against damage due to faulty Heater Valve. This applies to S-Types from (late 2002) through 2008.

Which is better the Jaguar XJ6 or the XJ8?

The body styles are nearly identical, the XJ6’s will be cheaper, interiors almost the same (I prefer the XJ6 interior design to the XJ8 actually).

Why is there a noise in my engine?

This noise has been identified as “bleed down” of the upper (secondary) timing chain tensioner, resulting in temporary chain slack. A non-return valve in the tensioner is designed to trap pressurized engine oil to maintain tension on the timing chain to prevent rattling.
