Because when the chains break theres a 50/50 chance that you need a new motor. They are interference motors. They used plastic tensioner guides which
should never have been used in the first place but if oil was changed in most cases they dont need replaced. But i would still replace it with the metal ones for peace of mind.
Luckily they did fix that with late model LS's.
Just funny how theres so much love for this car but not so much for our LS's which are reskinned S-Types. The new Jag's are sex on wheels.....the XF is one hell of a car. The new XJ has an amazing interior but i still prefer the 07 bodystyle:
Only thing i dislike about the previous gen jags is that they look dated on the interiors.
The newer XJ's are 5x108...ive seen a couple LS's with XJ wheels. Thats why i made the comment about the sentas in the other thread.

I love the interior of the new XF. The only thing I don't like is the motorized rotary shifter knob. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer a conventional shifter. And that motorized knob that rises out of the console is just something else to break and cost you an arm and a leg and several fingers, toes, and various other apendages to fix.

Still got the BMW?
No Mike, BMW was sold.
BlackLS. You answered your question in your post. The LS is an S Type. Big difference between the XJ and S-Type. And really if it was an XJ8 I would have never bothered. Just like I would never consider another SN Mustang unless it was an 03/04 Termi. The blower and supporting parts is what makes the car cool.

Some things to allow for speed.
I get the pulley and puller being for speed but what's the wire w/fuse holder and the hose elbow for?

What a PITA POS
Waterpump bypass hose and power wire for radar detector.
Is that the smallest pulley they make for that motor?

I learned something today.
The XJR has actual Universal Joints on the rear half-shafts instead of CV joints. Wow. I didn't know that. I prefer U-joints to CV joints any day of the week. I wish the Mark had U-joints. But CV's dont' give as much trouble in RWD cars as they do in wrong-wheel-drivers. But it's good to see a real U-joint in a RWD car like this.
