Here's some specifics about XJs in Italy:
The XJ has been sold from 1987 to 2001
The 87-95 version was available with these engines:
- Renault J8s 2.1 litre turbodiesel 86 hp 155 kmh (96 mph) only base or limited trim levels, 2 or 4 doors, only manual transmission, 231 transfert case
- AMC 242 4.0 litre 177 - 191 hp 190 kmh (118 mph) only limited or country trim levels, only 4 doors, automatic transmission, 242 transfert case
The 96-01 version was available with these engines:
- VM engines 2.5 litre turbodiesel 116 hp 170 kmh (105 mph) only sport or limited trim levels, 2 or 4 doors, only manual transmission, 231 transfert case
- Chrysler 4.0 litre 185 hp 200 kmh (124 mph) only limited or wildsport trim levels, 2 or 4 doors, automatic transmission, 242 transfert case
Other differences from USA are the rear lights that have little yellow turn signals and red fog lights
In the front Italian XJs have white parking lights and non functional corner lights; at the top of front fenders there's a little yellow blinker
in Italy XJs are:
2.5 Turbodiesel 70%
2.1 Turbodiesel 25%
4.0 Gasoline 5%
Somebody likes Turbodiesel XJs.. ..for me are crappy engines
The 2.5 is quite powerful and it has the same torque of the 4.0 but is very very unreliable.. ..something is always broken, it smokes black, it smells, it sounds like someone is hammering the engine under the hood:looser:
P.S. No 2.5 gasoline XJ has been sold in Italy
Bye
