Hello.It seams that my XJ has got broken head gasket.
I would like to fix it myself  buy I had done nothing like that before.Any ideas where to search for help.I only got Haynes manual.Also where to look for a parts.do I need some special tools?
Maybe I'm just being stupid But I would like to feel the satisfaction when It will be done well.
Thanks guys

Petrol will be pretty straightforward but I'd guess it's diesel too  :roll:

Not too tricky, worth getting the head checked for 'flatness' (wrong term I know!) and cracks. It's not a complicated engine and there's much more room to work in the engine bay of a 2.5 so it shouldn't be tricky. It's worth getting a Factory Workshop Manual for this type of job.
