I have an 01 4.0L auto with 62k miles.

I'm glad I've found this thread. I don't know much about XJ's yet and haven't owned any vehicle similar, I thought it was kinda running hot at 210 all the time but glad to see that it's normal.

I did just flush the radiator a couple times with vinegar/distilled water mix, then just water, then filled up with Water Wetter/Distilled mix. Seems to run just under 210 now, hasn't gone over 210 beforehand but I didn't like the look of the old coolant in the radiator so I wanted to change it anyhow.

Btw, it's kind of a PITA with this vehicle to drain the radiator, I didn't bother trying to get the block plug out (don't have the right size tool anyhow).
