Thank you very much for the reply. I always drive within the speed limits. After all I'm 78 years old. Kind regards, Peter

Hi Mark, Thanks for that suggestion - I'll get it checked out. Cheers, Jon

Fuel filter? I used to have a Discovery 3 and I went through a stage of having similar symptoms. At its worst, it caused the car to go into limp mode.

Just a new thermostat 'tower' yesterday, but I don't think that's related, since it happened several weeks ago as well. Cheers, J

Almost sounds like something was blocked, not had any other work done on the car lately?

Hi, does anyone have experience of noisy diff problems & solutions to fix & costs involved? my xf is a 2014, are diff problems common? going to main dealer will be extremely costly, are recon diffs any good or rebuild? I’d be grateful for any advice.

Welcome to the club, Peter. I used to have a similar Jaguar and I found that the best way of improving fuel efficiency was to drive at a suitable speed. I found that steady driving on good fuel gave me around 35 mph on an steady drive. My X type was taken by two gentlemen who later was placed in a Royal House for 8 years. I never got my car back! Regards, Peter [ A bit older]

Hi My first post. (if this isn't the correct place to post, apologies and please advise) I've just acquired a 2008 xf 2.7 diesel premium luxury. Love the car but It is an older one so it has its odd issue or 3. The one that I can't make sense of is thus. Rear left door won't lock / unlock (with fob or button on dash) locks fine with the manual lever in the door. Also the power window won't work at all. They were fine the day I bought the car but day after. Nada. The following may be relavant. There was biblical rain on journey home and I washed the windscreen but had drivers window open slightly. Some water dripped down onto the drivers door control panel. Which I wiped off immediately. I replaced the jcase 20amp in the drivers footwell that is "rear left door controls". Still nothing The next logical step in my mind is could it possibly be the door control module. I see there are many on ebay etc but do they need to be programmed to the vehicle (I've only found one post online where the guy claimed it didn't need programming). If it does any idea dealer would charge? Apologies for such a long first post.

Hi Carl, Yes, doing about 60-65mph, no acceleration to speak of (normally flies!). So I backed off for a few hundred yards, noise went away and everything was back to normal. Continued home with no other problems. Cheers, Jon
