Jaguar XK
The grand tourer, and the model where Jaguar's aluminium construction arrives in volume — the X150 uses a bonded and riveted aluminium monocoque, which puts accident repair outside ordinary panel work and makes corrosion behave differently from steel. The earlier X100 is steel and shares the AJ-V8's Nikasil and timing-chain-tensioner history with the S-Type. Both have a folding roof on the convertible with its own hydraulics and microswitches.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
