2004 XJR service
Hello, everyone,
I am going this evening to see and possibly purchase a 2004 XJR. It is a 1-owner car but was a dealer trade-in so there are no service records. I know a fair amount about the X308 XJR, but very little about the X350 XJR. Are there any items I should be on the lookout for? Does this car still share a ZF transmission (with Jaguar changes) with the AMG E55?
As the car has 93,000 miles on it I would like to know what is expected in the 100,000 service. I have been unable to locate the service guide for the 04 from Jaguar's owner site.
Any help is appreciated. I have tried several searches that have been thus far fruitless on this topic.

Casey, there still should be service records, just ask the dealer to run the vin number for you. With that you can also call the original owners dealer/dealers n inquire about the car.
Congrats on it though! it does have the ZF 6 speed unit and the E55 has only a 5 speed.
The XJR is more comparable to the S class line, in your case the 55
Main thing to look at for is the airbag suspension
hope this helps!

Erik,
Great! Thanks. I have received the faxed service summary from the dealer and will see how much more detail I can get on a few particular services. It seems like there were some auto trans leaks in the past, and some air suspension issues, and several attempts to do a 4-wheel alignment. There is nothing too alarming in the history, but some things requiring clarification for sure. There were 5 times the car was in the shop for extensive enough service to require a loaner.
The P.O. was kind enough to leave their registration with the records, so I will send him a letter to see what else they can tell me about the car.
