Jaguar XJ6 - Inlet Manifold Gasket - Foston1

I have a 2004 XJ6 with 53657 miles on the clock. The car requires a year 7 service. The service book calls for the replacement of the inlet manifold gasket which means that no special service deals are available. Given the low mileage of the vehicle is the gasket replacement really necessary or is the replacement time rather than mileage related? Advice would be appreciated.

You will need a Jag specialist to answer that one, I can't think of any reason why an inlet manifold gasket should need changing - unless there is something very special about it.

The only reason i can think of is that it will need a spark plug change and on many Jags this requires removal of inlet manifold.hth
