They say an old Jaguar sedan can only be a sickbed. But I think it's a wonderful car, and to disprove the many horror stories, I bought one. Not just any kind: this 1994 Jaguar XJ6 3.2S has a manual transmission! (and a double-mass flywheel, but we'll leave that for now) Welcome to my brand new, fresh-baked, straight-from-the-kitchen channel! My name is Gyuri Bolla, and this Jaguar XJ6 test was made because I bought this burgundy miracle in May 2022, which has a regular Getrag manual gearbox. Factory! Jaguar limousine without an automatic? It seems that nothing is impossible, but in this test we say little about the gearbox. Instead, the focus is more on the post-purchase technical assessment, getting to know each other, and fault finding, because even though I feel - I'm a boho - that I made a good purchase, the car is far from perfect. This first XJ6 test shows, for example, how much trouble the lambda probe causes, and how useful expert engine diagnostics are. I told you about why and how I got the car keys written in my name at length on Totalcar (https://bit.ly/3piKL7l), now it's enough to say that it seemed like a good idea at the time. And yes, my taste is so acrid that the widely despised XJ40 series is my favorite, I mean the heavenly XJ-C coupe from here. However, stupidity is also just like bungee jumping: you should jump into it with reason and deliberation. So I chose an engine and a year that, on paper, is the most reliable version of the entire XJ40 series (1986-1994), and promises the least painful ownership experience. What is reality? We will find out in the next two or three years. But every adventure begins at the beginning, so let's find out the fault and the first test of Bolla's burgundy, manual Jaguar XJ6!
