Electrical gremlins
Various electrical issues such as malfunctioning sensors, warning lights, and electronic control unit (ECU) problems are common in older Jaguars, including the 2005 XJR.
Brake system wear
The brake components, including rotors and pads, may wear out prematurely, requiring more frequent replacements to maintain braking performance.
