Have had my 2010 XKR for over 10 years and will pass 200,000 miles on her in the next week or so. In 55 years of driving and dozens of cars, it is by far the best automobile I've ever owned as well the most reliable. It will never leave my garage as long as I can still drive. It's been tracked dozens of times, never babied, pulleyed and tuned to about 600hp, and still is a pleasure to look at and drive every day. Spectacular car!

I have the same 2010 Conv. With 45K miles. Love it. Been so happy to start it each day. Growls like a beast.

I have a 2007 XKR that I paid $27k CDN in 2018.....LOVE this car and with only 83k km...tons of life left! Zero maintenance other than tires.

Had mine 2 weeks. Same colour as yours. Lovely to drive. Had 3 Mercs before it. CLK220,SLK280 CLS320. Have to say the Jag is the best to drive. The power from the 4.2 supercharged lump is intoxicating. The sound it makes is also right up there. Yes, she is thirsty and the road tax is high, but the joy I get from driving it is compensation enough.

Having said that, I'm considering some Spires lowering springs and for two reasons: she sits too high but also deserves to be a hooligan at times.

Congratulations on the purchase - I had a very similar unit - same year - same miles - 2 major issues I had that happen to me and will happen at some point to each and every one of these units: 1 - there is a pipe that runs underneath the supercharger and behind the belts at the front - there is a plastic reduction adaptor between the two pipes - with age, hot water and the plastic combination this will snap without warning leaving you on the side of the road with a lot of coolant outside the car..not good :) 2 - the air conditioning system has a drainage pipe in the shape of a duckbill - possibly one of the worst designs ever and again age and time the pipe collapses onto itself and the only place for the condensation water to then go is back into the passenger footwell - again it happens without warning - it is an absolute pain to locate the offending outlet and to ultimately fix I can't recommend enough that both of these should be addressed (discuss them with your Jaguar expert) before they become a problem - because they will, otherwise suspension and engine are rock solid - if your electric start playing up - just bite the bullet and buy a new battery. I loved mine and regret selling it but I had another agenda for the cash the sale returned :) enjoy my friend - they really are a super car.

I can honestly say you won’t regret your purchase. I am also approaching retirement and well I wanted one of these before they take my license away

I've had a 2011 5L n/a XK for 7 years. Here is the list of problems I have had : Oil Level Sensor replaced, one of the ride height sensors replaced, clogged fuel injector (replaced all 8 and plugs since the engine was opened up). There have been a few broken plastic fasteners (the luggage cover on the coupe can be annoying and the clips break easily). The 20 inch wheels are hard on tires with the road conditions where I live... a few flats and patches. The bushings and engine mounts are not surprising since the rubber is getting old and the liquid filled bushings will leak. I also replaced a rear LED tail lamp that failed... I think your car has regular bulbs... so not an issue there. The only issue I have now is a sagging headliner, which is pretty common. Oil changes at home are very easy to do, and can save you some cash compared to the dealer. I will be changing the ZF trans fluid and pan this year. Outside of the fuel injector job, the costs have been very reasonable. I think the headlight issue is the uv coating cracking... should be easy to fix and cover with uv film. Enjoy the car!

They are really excellent cars if properly maintained , I live just outside Barcelona and have a 2007 model which is a very low mileage example. Beacause of the different weather conditions here, it has not suffered any of the problems you have and really is still like new. I try to look after it properly which helps, it lives under my house in the warm and dark and is always covered. You could do much better by sourcing your parts from one fo the after market specialists, they will often buy the same part as Jaguar but sell it at a far better price, SNG Barratt is one example but there are otheres such as David Manners or Martin Robey. They are all pretty good. Also you don't need to go to a main dealer to maintain it, there is a network of experts with the knowledge and experience to look after the older models at much more reasoanble prices. It is not quite as easy here!

Really interesting video. Thanks.

Yea I am not a car guy… I am just a stupid techie

Nice car! I've owned a black 2006 N/A X150 for 10 years and its a great drive. Its now 16 years old, so is getting into 'rolling resto' territory. I recently panicked and replaced the rear subframe myself last month [and, yes, it took ages!] as surface corrosion of this mild steel bit is a common problem, especially here in the UK. If the subframe is dropped you 'll probably find other things in the vicinity that need attending to too, so expect your hair to go grey overnight if the garage rings you. If you're still keen to replace it.....a new subframe part is over £2500 or $3000 NOT including fitting and NOT including the support brace/k frame which is also mild steel and corrodes for fun as well (add £1800/ $2160). Grit blasting/chemical treatment of your subframe may be a way to go if you want to save cash if it's not too bad, or you may be able to pick up a used one. Good luck. Oh, and the rear parking sensors can be had off Ebay and are actually Ford parts bin specials. The main stealership wanted £500 to change one of mine a few years back (it took me 30 minutes and cost £8).

They fitted a sensor (supplied oem part & paint) for £200, which I thought was reasonable considering… but those subframe costs are eye watering… however if it comes down to it, I will spend the cash. I’ll just keep the car longer to derive more benefit from it before I move it on. At present though… all is well with its suspension. No play and drives well (Chiltern inspected suspension AGAIN yesterday… found no play anywhere)

Paul Dobson. Had my 09 XKR Coupe from new. The only issues I have had are, touch screen failure (got a used replacement from USA) fitted it myself. Head lining drooping, seems like a common problem, wheel alignment, until I had it fixed by a company who had, old school, non digital equipment. I am 79 & still love driving the car, not as fast as I used to. I live in Cape Town RSA so the roads here allow for some spirited driving. My one complaint about the car is road noise. Better since the proper wheel alignment but still above what I would expect. I replaced the 22 kilo rear exhaust with a ‘Quicksilver’ system. Seems ridiculous to fit such a heavy system to a lightweight all aluminum car. The 3 memory passenger seat adjustment seems an unnecessary expense, rather have better instrumentation, temp gauge etc. I have only covered 35000 klms and the car is immaculate, Silver with caramel interior, American maple inlays. How long will it be before the depreciation turns a corner and these beautiful cars, like the E type become collectible. Probably not in my lifetime. 😢

Your car seems like a real keeper car and considering the low mileage should fetch a lot in the market.

I think this means Combustion Engine cars now have a limited shelf life… and I accept that this money will likely never be recovered. I am just happy to enjoy it while it lasts.

The timing chain may stretch a bit after a few hundred thousand miles but it won't break...this is a non issue on any Jaguar because Jaguar does not use timing belts which need period replacement (early 4 litre V8 cars, which has the 4.2 litre engine - did have chain tensioners that could break - but that caveat does not apply to the XK). The 4.2 litre engine presents no concerns of this sort. But you might want to change the thermostat and its housing!
