Funny you mention water in the passenger foot well, the car had significant amounts of condensation on the insides of the windows and problems with the remote locking.
Well thanks for your replies guys. I'm not getting the car as the owner is an *** and wants too much money for it. Oh and it's done over 200k and has many little problems
It was £700, just been serviced 4 new tyres and 4 new injectors(very common to fail and expensive to replace).
Well I've had the jag for a few weeks now, it's a completely different driving style taking some getting used to. Mines a 5 speed and it revs on a motorway at 80mph revs at about 3k...
A cheaper option would be to get the value guides scrolled, will get more life outta the head without having the risk of warping or cracking the head while heating it up and hammering(air chisel works well) out the old guides.
The one which comes out the bottom middle of the inlet manifold I've pinched it and put a cable tie round to hold it pinched. The revs are now much more stable and it definitely pulls better
I've just made my car so much smoother to drive and quicker too by blocking off the pipe from the inlet manifold to the breather system, is this normal? Lol
Mine does the same. Put a new engine mount on and no different. Possibly worn gearbox, bottom arms, drive shafts. Actually have you replaced or poly bushed the dog bone mount? That would cause similar issues and are known to wear out.
Meh. Finally got the car back together after breaking an oil breather pipe. It seems sluggish and hesitant to boost if at all now. I think I've blown the head gasket even though the temp never went over 90 on the way home. Either way it's slow now. Even the dump is quieter.
Crank the engine(unplug the coils) with the oil feed off the top of the turbo so there is absolutely no chance of oil starving it. Then once you get a flow of oil out the feed connect everything back up and fire it up
