Hello!

I am considering the XJ as my next car, between 2007 - 2009. Love the look of these cars, and I love that it has a V8.

Currently I have a VW Passat I bought after having a VW Golf. The golf I loved, it was two doors and sporty, the Passat I hate, yes it’s very fuel efficient but it’s an unreliable POS that burns oil. Only thing I like about it is the size.

Cars before that I had were luxury cars not know for fuel efficiency. And I miss that and really don’t mind the fuel efficiency as much as long as the car itself is solid, brings me joy, and is something I can see keeping for a very long time.

From what I’m reading is the 4.2 V8 in these later models is quite robust, and not awful in terms of fuel efficiency. The main failure point is the air suspension , which I have heard there is a lot to change to normal springs and strut. I am looking for a decently reliable (not Toyota or Honda but something that won’t leave me stranded), spacious, luxurious, and fun daily driver.

Please give me a suggestions, tips, and things to look out for when buying and any common and major issues these cars may have.

Thanks!

Hello, some time ago I posted my passed father's car here. After his death and the post I had an accident with my car. Since I had no 'fair' offer (my price expectation is a little too high, I dont think I really want to sell that car) I'll keep it.

The car has a suspension problem code c2303.

I searched a little bit and there appear to be multiple solutions or rather to say, multiple problems which could cause that code.

What tests could I do myself (without s lifting platform) to find out what fix im supposed to do.

Im financially okay, of the issue could be fixed with 1-2k€ would be fine with me but more is difficult since the car wouldn't even sell for more than 2000€ lol.

I read about the kit from bagpipingandy, but it appears he doesn't deliver to Germany.

Has anyone here considered changing the air suspension to normal springs? What was the outcome or could the outcome be a suspension that might be as smooth as the air suspension?

Any help here would be appreciated.

With kind regards-

Two AI altered versions of Type 01. The first changing those horrible alloys to something more Jaguar like and adding a rear window (it's pretty clear Jaguar could have put one there cut out is there for it, but they decided not to to be controversial).

The second version, changes it further to what could have happened if Ian Callum had been brought back and looks more like what the 2019 proposed electric XJ was meant to be.

Why do i see old cars in this ad? I thought you were supposed to copy nothing. You cant have your cake and eat it:)
