Common Problems Headliner Sagging:

Headliner adhesive often fails, causing sagging fabric.

Common Problems Nikasil Liners:

Early AJ16 engines (especially pre-1995) could have Nikasil cylinder liners that were susceptible to corrosion with high-sulfur fuels. Later AJ16s (including 1995 models, especially the 4.0L) typically used alloy liners with iron inserts, mitigating this issue. The manual would detail specific engine revisions and maintenance for this.

Common Problems Air Suspension:

If equipped with self-leveling rear suspension, components like air springs and compressor can fail with age.

Common Problems Electrical Gremlins:

Like many Jaguars of this era, can suffer from minor electrical issues due to aging wiring harnesses and connectors.
