Greetings from Georgia
I posted this to the new members area but
also wanted to post it here for my specific year
and model
Hello, my name is Jennifer. I am 44, live in Augusta GA,
am retired Air Force and work in the medical field.
I have wanted a Jag since I was 10 yrs old and today
I made that dream a reality. After much research, a lot
done on these forums, I am the proud new owner
of a 2000 XJR. She (the car is definitely female) is fully
loaded with every option and upgrade that was available
that year to include the outdated phone...lol...and has
95890 miles on her. I bought her from a classic car
dealership 2 hrs away and had the divine pleasure of
flooring it passing other drivers on the back country
2 lane hwys. She accelerates so smoothly you have no
idea how fast you are going until you look down at the
instrument panel and go "holy crap!".
I want to thank you all for knowledge and advice as I
lurked as a visitor and avidly read the forums.

The upgraded plastic parts just have a spring added so they won't rattle as they approach the failure point. If you are not equipped to do this yourself you need to find a reliable shop, not a dealer. I would offer to help if we were a little closer.
Most of us look upon the Jags as being a great hobbyist car. Inexpensive, well built, parts not hard to find, fairly easy to work on. But repairs can easily get out of hand if you have to take it to a shop for everything.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your Jag! Gorgeous car! You are in for a lot of good times. Be prepared - you will always look back at your car after parking it as you're walking away. You'll never get tired of looking at her. :-)
Ditto on looking into what secondary timing chain tensioners you have. If they're second generation, get them upgraded to third generation metal.
