It idles good with just a slight hesitation in the throttle response. Also the oilpressure gage is reading low oil pressure.The Car rides smooth. It goes threw the gears smoothly & also down shifts well when under power. The Motor has no smoke coming from theexhaust when the car is running. Also We found that thiscar likes to leak oil. I was told that this is normal for Jaguar's and if it's not leaking oil then its's more then likely out of oil. The Gages all seem to work correctly. TheFront Grill has a broken spot in it and it's loss. The Battery Needs to be replaced as for we use a battery charger to start the car.

I heard no grinding orsqueaking noises from the brakes. The Tires on the car look good but we recommend that they be replaced if you plan on driving the car regularly or on a long road trips.
