Jaguar XJ6 service costs?

[MonkeyVR6]

Hi chaps,

I've got a H-reg Jaguar XJ6 2.9 litre with 105,000 miles. Has anyone got an idea of service costs?

I was thinking of changing the following:

- spark plugs
- oil and filter
- air filter
- fuel filter

Cheers,

D.

I'm hardly a mechanic but managed this myslef. Get yourself a haynes and then get on ebay!

Then £20 for oil and you should be able to get a fuel filter for a tenner (ebay again!)

So all in, parts are about £70, granted they aren't OEM. If you don't want to get your hands dirty I can't imagine a garage would charge you more than 2 hours labour, £60PH at a guess?
