Would you buy a 2002 100K mile XJR if its been serviced regularly at a main Jac dealer. Condition of the car sounds great both inside and out so I think its been looked after carefully and had all its services on time.

But would you buy a 100K miler ?? Whats going to go wrong soon ?? WHat teh life expectancey of the supercharger and the engine in general ?

All 4.0 engines build from the 13th of August 2001 onwards have the new metal tensioners, including the new primary morse chain as being used in the 4.2 engines.

As the model change is around that date, most 2002 build cars will have these new tensioners, however with early 2002 cars better check the engine number as that will be conclusive.

Thank you !! Do these need replacing at certain intervals or are they for the life of the engine ?
