Jaguar XJ (X350 & X358) Engine —3.0, 3.5, 4.2 & Supercharged V8 Supply, Rebuild & Fit Across the UK



The Jaguar XJ X350 and X358 generations represented a revolution for the Jaguar flagship. Featuring a revolutionary aluminium monocoque that cut weight significantly, these cars offered a level of agility and refinement that set new standards for the luxury sector. Powering these machines was a range of sophisticated engines — from the 3.0 V6 through to the 4.2 supercharged V8.
