The 2007 Jaguar XKR is the supercharged XK: a two-door coupe or convertible running Jaguar's 4.2L supercharged V8. Work on one and the numbers have to be that year's — the values Jaguar released for the 2007 XKR, not figures carried across from an adjacent model year of the XK range.

Known issues on the 2007 XKR. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it is filed against the hydraulic service brakes — the foundation components, specifically the hoses, lines, piping and fittings. On certain passenger vehicles the brake servo vacuum supply hose may have been mis-routed during assembly, a condition that may bring the pipe too close to the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve and attachments on the exhaust manifold. In the case of a contact condition, the brake vacuum hose may melt, leading to a loss of brake assistance and increasing the risk of a crash. No owner complaints are on record for this model year.
From tracing a soft or unassisted brake pedal to routine maintenance on the supercharged V8, it keeps you on Jaguar's own procedure and the correct figure for your 2007 XKR.
