Electrical Gremlins:
As with many luxury vehicles of this era, intermittent electrical faults can manifest due to module or wiring harness issues.
Timing Chain Tensioners:
Early V8 engines (not necessarily this specific generation, but worth noting for the V8 family) had issues with plastic timing chain tensioners. The AJ-V8 Gen III in the X350 is generally considered more robust, but inspection and maintenance are key.
