Hmmm maybe I should pre-buy some oil ready for when I get back.....

...how much oil does an XJR (1997) take chaps?  ::)

 :o ::) I think you would want to avoid a 1997 XJR at 8litres of oil, the V8 from 1998 take only 6.5litres  ;)

Not as bad as the Range Rover @ 9.5 litres of oil per change!

Yes, an oafish, uncouth V8 in favour of his beloved straight 6 will have Sir William Lyons rotating in his grave, for sure. Mind you, I suspect the current brand of Front wheel drive, estate, rebranded repmobiles carrying his badge will already have rendered him pretty dizzy. ;D

..although, having said that, the first time I had a drive in a V8 engined XJ, I had to ask if it was the V12. :-*

Not needed at that age, by the time it needs changing it will have been written off due to chassis rust.

Yep. Just ask aaronjb where the crispy bits will be. ;D Was quite shocked at the state of his donor. Not far off being held together by the wiring loom. ;D

Subliminally I must have the same fears as the first job (prior to the service) is rustproofing what's left of the underside  ;D ;D ;D

If it's any consolation, when the worst does happen, it's clearly great fun cutting them up with a plasma cutter.
