If its a full service history with the same garage, can always ring them and ask to confirm as they should have records. If its not been changed, would certainly look to get it done, cannot always tell how they are unless really worn or something obvious.

UPDATE - well it’s good news, the dealer has just contacted me to tell me that my Sportbrake was actually built yesterday. So I should be driving it in the next couple of weeks. Perhaps LRJ need to review their admin.

Roisin Sounds serious and if it is a loud haeavy sounding knock is probably "Big End Trouble". Will be expensive to repair. I imagine your choices are: 1/ Have the engine repaired........... probably not a good financial action. 2/ Buy a good secondhand engine and have it fitted .......... again probably a dear financial action. 3/ Advertise the car, outlining the fault and hope to get a reasonable offer from someone who has or can acquire a replacement engine. Again not going to be a financial success I would think. Sometimes your first loss is your best loss. I am assuming this car has no sort of warranty or guarantee that you could try claiming on. Best Wishes for an acceptable outcome. Regards, John

Mick Nothing surprises me these days. I am 72 years of age and have realised that the days on communication/customer service/decency and honesty have long gone. As long as an order has been signed and a deposit made, that is all they are interested in. Admittedly not everywhere is the same story found, but I see it as an ever increasing number. Hope you get thinga sorted prompttly. Best Wishes and Regards, John

I ordered my new XF P250 Sportbrake last August and eventually was given a build date if the 22nd April, this was then put back by 2 weeks to the 6th of May and today I find out it didn’t get built and is now scheduled for the 27th May. Who is doing the build scheduling at Jaguar - Noddy perhaps. I know there are issues with obtaining parts but they are supposed to be a “just in time” build operation and I find it hard to believe that it takes them 5 days to let me know the couldn’t build the car on the 6th.

I didnt realize this forum was based overseas
