Car Forum / Jaguar Cars / February 2007Cruise control on late '90s XJR
I currently have a 3.2 sovereign XJ6, but want to change to a XJR. I've got around £4000 to spend so I'm looking for one from around 1996. However, when looking at pictures of ones on Auto Trader, it seems they do not have the cruise control buttons on the right hand side of the steering column like my XJ6 Sovereign does. Does the XJR from this period have cruise control? It's a feature I use quite a bit.

In particular I was looking at these cars: This one (which is a V8) appears to have two buttons just below the gearshift: http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/CARS_popup.asp?id=200703267096963 And this one (1996, I guess XJ6) which has the "missing" cruise control switch to the right of the steering column: http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/CARS_popup.asp?id=200706269574724 I had assumed that all XJRs had cruise control, but maybe not. > > > I currently have a 3.2 sovereign XJ6, but want to change to a XJR. > > > I've got around £4000 to spend so I'm looking for one from around [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > > use quite a bit. > > > Thanks I have a 1996 XJR which doesn't have cruise control. I personally don't miss it, but am used to not having one. When you come to buy your XJR make sure that you check the rear wheel arches, mine have bubbled badly, also check the m.p.g. I seem only to be getting about 13 m.p.g. town driving, though on the motorway I get about 22 m.p.g. It's a great car but silly things can be annoying, like the headlight jet washes which are very prominent and keep getting knocked off. There are a few other things that you may want to know about. Don't hesitate to email me, I'm happy to help. Richard Lichten
