First time new bug on here so please have patience with me!

Looking at buying a Jag XJ 2.7tdi or a 730d, either will be probably be around 2006/2007.

The reviews on the BMW are far better than the Jag but my only concern is, that I haven't seen many 730's towing large twin axle caravans!

Do they suffer a 'saggy #####' when towing?

Are 7 series of this age fitted with air suspension or air shocks?

Lots of questions, really appreciate your help with this.

Nick.

730d is more than capable of towing... Much, much better than a Ford/Jag lol

Maybe you could slot some assisters between the rear coils to stiffen it up a little... But the self levelling is brilliant !!!

      Coolant leak

      Morning Kev Welcome to the Forum I am aware that the plastic return pipe (Header Tank to Rad) on the E53 became very brittle and was easily damaged. I replaced mine with 10mm Copper Tube after a long wait for replacement. But I was not aware, or haven't heard of X3 issues here in the UK I guess that you will need more from US based owners Dave

      Coolant leak

      Hi, quick query if anyone has experienced this issue. Purchased an X3 S drive 20I brand new, delivered on the 18/3/2020. All services conducted when required by dealer. Last service (major) was done on the 9/4/24. Approx 1 week later coolant leak was discovered. Vehicle towed to dealer, cause was cracked coolant pipe . Informed part would take 2 week delivery time ( ex Germany) at cost of $800. Vehicle has just under 30,000 on clock. Any input greatly appreciated. Thanks

      2e47 & 2e41

      Hi Joe If memory serves 2e41 is bad communication between the EWS and DDE the other 2e47 is Thermostat or Sensor related. Looks like that sorts your weekend Dave
