Hi @ all,
I want to buy a XJ and I would like to know about common issues that are expensive to fix. I'm not interested in interior problem because most of it is gonna go either or.
Mainly motor, transmission and the other stuff under the hood :-)
Every helpful answer is apreciated.
If you find any misspelled words, you can keep em. :-)
I'm german, thats my excuse...

A/c driveshaft? Are you referring to the a/c compressor clutch? If so it can be a pain to do, especially while it's still in the vehicle

Why is the brake booster arm so hard to get onto the pedal?
I can't for the life of me get it to seat all the way and I can't fit a hammer or channel locks up in there. I tried it with the booster loose and that's how j got it started but it won't go on all the way.
Any tips/tricks?

What do you mean with "are not issues"? I wanted to know if there is anything out of the ordinary that I should pay attention to while checking a possible buy out?
Thanks for the answers
Hey mikeythrash, where do you live? If it's not to far I'm interested

I would say I'm pretty handy. I'm an Industrial Mechanic. I'm not scared about little fixes.
I just don't wanna buy a money pit. I want to have a reliable recreational vehicle. All the unnecessary thing are gonna get ripped out (as far as I know, the XJ doesn't have a lot those) and useful stuff will be upgraded. So the plan.
