Jags are meant to idle smootly, not jump and bubble, which is why they never ever came with V8s.......until the dreaded Blue Oval took over

lol @ nigie
ford really mucked about, putting a V8 in a JAG
ever notice how all the major luxury carmakers have an inline six in many of their cars?
The inline 6 is an inherently smooth engine.........does not require counterbalancers etc to make it sit and idle silently and smoothly
thats why it's so popular among the luxury brands
modern V8s are comparable now, but it takes so much extra hardware to replicate the smoothness of a 6
