  Transmission Dash Light Comes on at times which makes the Transmission Shift Hard. I can sometimes Turn off ignition and then Restart Car and Dash Transmission Light goes off. Manual says take it to the Dealer. Any suggestions besides that?

  Car runs but will cut off. Sometimes Starts right back up and sometimes wont. Not getting any Vehicle Error Codes. I believe it may be a fuel Problem. Could it be a Dirty Fuel Filter?

  My Jaguar is a 1994 XJ6. It would not start one day so I had it taken to the dealer. After $1000 they said it was fixed. (bad wire in the harness they said) Got the car home and it would not start. Cranks but no juice to coil or distributor. They will not fix the problem without charging more. Help.

  Add yet another (ME) to the list of uncontrolled acceleration. This is going to sound bizarre to all of you because i experienced this in my 1994 XJ6. I can't bother whether you are anyone believes me, but alone, i went out to my cherry car in a parking lot, after a session in a nice casino on the poker table. I turned the ignition on and suddenly the engine went ... Read More

I am having "slamming" or "bumping" at shift points both accelerating and decelerating on occasional start ups. Only occasional.

  As for the LS400 The 1990-1994 had a flair to me. I remember a line from a Car and Driver review of the 1995 that said it lacked the flair of the less perfect model. That car was too antiseptic to me. There are some posters on here which have commented about Lexus acknowledging that the revision was too conservative. The original model was a timeless design, a la Jaguar. Look ... Read More

  This is amazing. (Last Post) "In your previous post the chart showed 700+ units and you said that was US sales???? I accept 1700+ for the SL500....Allante sold 6700 in 93." No chart or link I ever posted said anything like that. Period. It said (they MBUSA.COM) said 1721 sales for 1993. End of story. You said 700 or 800 in your confused state. The link didn't change from one posting ... Read More

  I am already thinking of trading my 2004 RX330 (all my friends have seen it) for a sedan. I am considering the 2004 LS 430, Audi A8L, and Jaguar XJ8. I hope to drive the Audi and Jaguar this weekend. I hated driving 90 minutes for service for the Audi. The Audi A6 was troublesome. I never had a problem with my Q45 (1994) or 2002 LS430, so I didn't mind ... Read More

I just sold a 1990 VDP with 48K on it for $9,500 and have since turned down 2 offers for what I was asking for the car (Which was more $$..)

• Jag nomenclature (Confusing as that word I just used)

  Written by: rea98d on Jul 3, 2001 7:45:31 PM

  A "real" XJ6, according to purists, anyway, are the models made from 1969 until 1987. XJ40's are the more squared off Jags (look for rectangle taillights) from 1988 until 1994, and the X300 is the 1995-1997 Jags. Some call the 1998 & newer X300's, and some call them the X308, the last number denoting the V-8 engine. Sound simple enough? Now for the really confusing stuff. For quite a while, the ... Read More

One Owner, 71K, New Pirellis, Flamenco Red with Tan Leather, Immaculate condition, $10,950 firm, car is in Winter Park..." Hmm.... get a loan from peoplefirst.com Bingo. $250/mo for 48 months borrowing $10K against it and you're driving a Jaguar for Hyundai money. Bill
