Head Gasket:
Potential for head gasket failure in some AJ6 engines, particularly if overheated. Proper cooling system maintenance is crucial.
Electrical Gremlins:
Characteristic of British cars of this era, though XJ40 was an improvement. Issues can arise from wiring harnesses, sensors, and the J.A.R.T.S. ECU. Manual is essential for troubleshooting.
Suspension Bushings:
