Joe,
Thanks for the information and it sounds like you confirm the nikosil is an issue, so how can it be paranoia? Paranoia would be an unwarranted concern based on speculation and obviously this is a fact.

What were the signs that the engine displayed that warranted the replacement? Is low compression and an engine burning oil a sign of this and do you remember how many miles the engines that had to be replaced had on them?

I realize that not all engines are going to have a problem with this but it does sound like something that owners should atleast be aware of. No one wants to have to replace an engine but if that does end up to be the case then I think most owners would feel it is Jaguars responsibility.

Jason
