My wife an I have a 2000 Jaguar XK8 convertible and the plastic hydraulic lines ruptured above the interior light spraying hydraulic oil everywhere inside the car, including on us, I contacted the manufacturer and after a month or constant calls they didn't feel it was a problem of theirs and I should pay the $1,500 for repair, that just covered the lines and not the interior which was covered in oil. I have been told by many repair shops that this is dead common in these cars, why has there not been a factory recall as this is a very toxic/dangerous and expensive blunder on the part of Jaguar. Lucky we were at a stop when this happened as otherwise the amount of oil I got in my eyes may have caused a fatal accident on the highway. Sincerely, john & lisa monaghan I cant image why they would use plastic hydraulic (a flammable liquid! thank god I don't smoke) lines inside the car, but metal hydraulic lines under the hood "?"
