Some of the European and British cars were made with a rear fog light. The motor was a very Jag original. They took the 3.0 6 and the 6.0 L V12 and made an original Jag V8 So a 4.0 L to fit with the same dimensions of those two previous engines. Ford was actually very hands off in their period of Jag ownership. But the supercharger might have been borrowed by ford. You could say that Ford owned Jag and Jag informed Ford back on a few things. I’m not a Ford fan but Ford as an organization was very clever in how they did this! They let the old boys go! To create what they thought would be the quintessential classic Jag! And so was born the XJR Their Hands Off Free approach was pure American ingenious in my opinion! I own a 98 XJR myself.
I like to see more usage of the J gate on this car on the highway. Definitely like to see more spirited driving. I can feel the mass going on freeway corners in this XJR car; but expected for a car of this size.
Do NOT push the valet button unless you have the green valet key.. To open or close the sunroof, push once and let go. I have a Jaguar channel, I also have an 98 XJR, The chewed up wire looks like the knock sensor connection
I havent seen a lot of cars that are faster these days, unless you are spending a decent grip. Late model X308 XJR's are a good buy at 10-15 grand for one that's running and driving well. I believe thats the most car you can expect to get for 10 grand these days. You can aim for cheaper but its most likely gonna be a project. A couple simple upgrades and it gets to about 425-450 hp at 3900 lbs, which is pretty respectable. There's crazier upgrades and mods that have been done and the engine and transmission can handle 600-800 hp and up to 700 torque. Ive owned a 2003 for about a year and a half and its an amazing car when it's all sorted out but if i didnt work on my car myself i wouldnt bother owning one lol
rear fog light button at the bottom, and front fog light at the top on the round split button you are wondering about, does the engine leak on this one, they have problems with the driveshaft seals, It is very easy to fix but people think the oil is coming from elsewhere due to spread with wind.
I do wonder if Jags are often loved more for their speed than the rest of the car. Take away the XJR model and you have the real balanced Jag it was supposed to be. However a certain little boy from TG helped make this car vey popular.
Clarkson owned one too. Said some very kind words about it too. I think jags are liked for their style and ride (a great compromise of handling and smoothness)
The fog lights in the back are red same as the break lights. I call them the dog lights. The rear dog light. You put those on when someone is bird dogging you on your ass. Or when it’s dog damn foggy. European and British cars usually have those.
You are comparing this car to a Honda Accord? Why are you even looking at a car enthusiast page? Also, it burns up the tires and feels amazing, not how an Accord is geared I promise you.

Stunning car that will only get more beautiful and special over time.
The bottom light button is the rear fog lights (top one the front).
This is a great feature; more cars should have it.
I’ve always liked the design of this car. She’s a timeless beauty.

With the S button red light on. Select D. 0-60 5.3 secs. (Traction Ctrl Off)
Bottom light button is rear fog light.
Ford had nothing to do with the engine it was developed by Jaguar!
It is an awesome motor. I didn't know! 😂
WRONG - THE ENGINE WASN'T DEVELOPED BY JAGUAR - IT WAS DEVELOPED BY JAAAAAAAAAG!!.
I OWN AN XF AND IT'S FANTASTIC BOTH TO DRIVE AND TO LOOK AT.
@@GarKeithsuper underrated mythical legendary engine that nobody appreciates 😭
If you hold the lock button in you can open or close all windows. And close roof. Same using key in door handle
S button is sports gearbox. Uses 1st gear from standstill and uses higher revs
I had one of them and loved it felt so good driving it. But so many little things would be going wrong .
Do NOT push the valet button unless you have the green valet key.. To open or close the sunroof, push once and let go. I have a Jaguar channel, I also have an 98 XJR, The chewed up wire looks like the knock sensor connection
Thank you very much!
It’s more. Don’t press valet unless you have the remote.
Those buttons on the dash, one is your front fogs and the other the rear.

I have a 1999 xjr in the shop right now and I'm anxious to get it back so I can have fun with it
1. Did you get the 1999 xjr back from the shop by now? 2. Our TH-cam viewers have been waiting with bated breath not knowing.
That button is for the brightness of tail lights.
Pull wiper stalk towards you for one wipe. First click up is automatic.
You have the upgraded sound system. Amp, DSP
You don't need to use the J gate for pulls, it's for cornering.
The number, is the maximum gear allowed. Useful for going down hills.
The one thing I noticed. There are A LOT OF FUSE BOXES !!! I just want to know what fuse controls the stero
they are for front and rear fog lights
Because it is a Jaaag, it is called a bonnet 😜
and it is a boot, which is large enough for several dead bodies or your stolen loot.
The button is the rear fog light
Thank you!
It’s for the rear fog lights!!!
This is a great feature; more cars should have it.
The S button actually isn't a suspension button but instead a sports mode incase you just need that little bit of power
It’s a true Jaguar motor but it is very similar to a Ford motor in fact it has the same supercharger as the SVT Lightning and Cobra
I knew it looked like one. Someone else got really mad at me for saying that!
The button is for the rear fog lights
When getting on highway. Select 4 and mash carpet
rear fog light button at the bottom, and front fog light at the top on the round split button you are wondering about, does the engine leak on this one, they have problems with the driveshaft seals, It is very easy to fix but people think the oil is coming from elsewhere due to spread with wind.
the lower button is the rear fog lights
Also an audience appreciates a resolution to the project. Otherwise it is not that interesting.

All XJRs are supercharged, take that eBay supercharged emblem off the back!
Far as I know that came on there. It had holes behind the logo.
Ah, yes, the X308 Jaguar XJ with one wiper and a front-hinged hood.
You're in the business, why not get the aluminum 2005? My Super V8 is ne plus ultra.
The fog lights in the back are red same as the break lights. I call them the dog lights.
The rear dog light. You put those on when someone is bird dogging you on your ass.
Or when it’s dog damn foggy. European and British cars usually have those.
Drivers window is one touch open. Maybe sunroof too?
rear Fog Light
Rear fog lights
Front fog lamps,rear fog lamps
Enjoy your Treasure... 🌎🌴💕
Good enough, they're fast. My 99 xjr will push you in the seat0-60 just under 5
I think it is front fog lights UK
Either you know for sure, or not.
This is a great feature; more cars should have it.
My v8 1998 is fast as hell i race a hell cat held my own so i no the supercharge it not fucking around!!
5 speed Merc gearbox
Ford owned jaguar from 99 till 2008 so it could well be a different development of a mustang engine.
I know what happened to that wire a squirrel or chipmunk or something chewed on it
If your going to do spirited driving in a supercharged cat wear a seatbelt please.
High tail lights
6 CD changer
That's Bricktops car.
Good for not lettering people rag on you!!
But you better open that car up in the next video!
Don’t be a chicken about the police Bock bock bock
It has climate control. Shouldn’t need to adjust the temp by more than a few degs
Honda accord can not outrun that car 💀
That car has 380 horsepower
You are comparing this car to a Honda Accord? Why are you even looking at a car enthusiast page? Also, it burns up the tires and feels amazing, not how an Accord is geared I promise you.
Different Jaguar just the xj not xf. Different engine. Look it up!
HJR 😂. All the R are supercharged (apart from 1980s)
YOU ARE A COMPLETE IDJIT, THAT "S" BUTTON HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SUSPENSION. IT ONLY DELAYS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT POINTS !
Please abandon the Camara set up and address the pertinent parts of the car review and fixes
Camera is terrible...look at how the others..budget is an issue
I accidentally uploaded this video at a lower quality. The camera is not the problem, it is me!
That is a lazy budget video........not a path to success.
I am learning and trying to get better thank you for your more constructive input.
