Is the door handle on the XJ40 bad?
On the early XJ40s (88-89 Model Year) the door handles are notoriously prone to failure. There is an updated design, but don’t expect miracles unless you own a 90-94. This is one of the most common failure points on these cars.
Why does the front of my JAG XJ40 rust?
Well then, let’s start at the front of the car. First, the hood (bonnet) likes to rust not only at each corner, but also under the front lip by the headlights, it’s a bugbear to see, but they will rust there.
Are there any problems with the Lexus XJ40?
For repair info, please scroll down and follow the link to the XJ40 Book Index. OK, well, most of the XJ40s that I have seen haven’t been too terribly rusty, nonetheless, they seem to rust quite a bit more than their competition (I have yet to see a 91 Lexus with rust, but I am sure I will get E-Mail about this!)
What kind of suspension does a Jaguar XJ6 have?
The rear suspension is an independent type suspension which also have coil spring/shock absorber assemblies and a lower control arm. The rear driveshaft acts as the upper control arm. Power-assisted Anti-lock Brake Systems (ABS) with four-wheel disc brakes are standard equipment on all Jaguar XJ6 models covered in this manual.
Are there any problems with the Jaguar XJ40?
As far as integrity of the body goes, these cars are fairly decent, although I have heard reports of the sunroofs leaking while the car is parked at a slight incline. On the early XJ40s (88-89 Model Year) the door handles are notoriously prone to failure. There is an updated design, but don’t expect miracles unless you own a 90-94.
When did the Jaguar xj-40 replace the XJ12?
Pininfarina raised the roof of the rear and smoothed out the rear fender line. Quality control finally improved for 1982, when the excellent HE V-12 was introduced; before that it bordered on sabotage. The XJ-40 replaced the XJ6 for 1987, while the XJ12 soldiered on until 1991.
When did the last Jaguar XJ6 come out?
The XJ6 sedan was the last Jaguar designed by company founder William Lyons, and it was so good that while other sedans bit the dust, the car would stay in production for more than two decades. Introduced in late 1968, it combined refinement, luxury, 120-mph performance, and superb handling.
