Default 100,000 mile XJR X308 Service / Maintenance / Spa Day

Hey everyone,

my 2001 XJR is creeping up to 100k miles. Was thinking about taking her into Jaguar Palm Beach for a spa day.

Unless there is a reason not to, I’ll have them do the 100k maintenance. Is there anything else I should swap at that time? Would it be worth upgrading the pulleys? Anything else?

My plan for 100k is timing chain & tensioners, i did the secondary tensioners when I got it but I know the primaries can fail eventually. I'm seriously considering a bigger bottom pulley at the same time as they'll have that part of the engine apart anyway.

I doubt the dealer will work on your car as its too old for many dealers.

I'd look for a good indy. If you don't mind spending the money, I'd have them look for worn supercharger coupler and bearings, pulleys with bad bearings, 2nd fuel pump not working, tensioners if they haven't been done, transmission fluid service, diff fluid, and look for any worn suspension bushings.

Your profile says that you have a 2001 so the supercharger may need some attention, and of course the bushings
and suspension components are always on the list. My transmission shop has warned me against changing the
fluid in the tranny, however there are many variables there so your situation may be different.

Thanks for these thoughts. Transmission was rebuilt in 2018, so I’m hoping all of the fluids are still in good shape.

Just to give a quick snapshot in time pricing update for the x308 XJR 100k mile service from a Authorized Jaguar Dealer (FL): $2,763.92 plus tax.

will report back from a well respected Indy on Tuesday.

100k service total including everything the factory recommended in the manual except the transmission flush, less than $1,150 at local Indy shop European Performance and Repair in Vero Beach.

It runs awesome. Considering having them install the Mina Gallery intake and pulpy upgrades also.
