hi paul welcome to the club I have owned a 2.7d S type and 2 x 3.0d 'S' XF S type was good with the smaller engine and felt that with the extra weight that I would go for the 3.0 when I bought the XF great engine with lots of power great mileage on the 3.0 drove to Southampton from Scotland last week and averaged 52.1 MPG at average speed of 68 MPH over the 440 mile drive and that's the 275BHP engine as for problems only thing that I have had is the restricted power light on limiting the speed to 40MPH can't remember if it was the intercooler or CAT as for spec had a premium luxury and a portfolio not much between them would recommend the 3.0TD the S if possible spec not that important cheers whisky

There is a list of Indi's on the Forum Paul therefore, you should find one for your location

Hi Paul , similarly test drove loads of CLS models before plumping for the xf , I too was disappointed at the rattly interiors and amount of wear and tear showing on some of the trim , if you can get one go for the 3.0 preferably the s model although the 3.0 in standard form is no slouch , not that the 2.7 is a bad motor or slow just with better emissions ( lower tax bracket ) and the increase in bhp it seems a no brainer , around 13k should get you an 09 / 59 with around 60k on , Good luck with the search

Like yourself Paul I was also a Merc enthusiast for many years last one being an SL55 AMG before buying my current XKR. The 4.2 V8 supercharged engine in the car would leave my old SL standing at the lights so to speak even though it was a 5.5 ltr V8 AMG tuned motor. I am not familiar with the XF therefore, not in a position to give advice for which you seek however, welcome to The Jaguar Owners Club and I wish you success in getting the correct information.
