Garry It may look good and if you feel it does, then do it. After all it is your car and your choice. Regards, John

The ebay seller arranged installation for me Jim. Only took an hour. This one was more expensive than the one you showed me but you did give me the original idea 🙂 I got this one because I actually saw one in the flesh, as it were. In my view well worth the cost to preserve the classy interior of the XF.

Here you can see the system before installation and once fitted to the car. It's very difficult for me to get in position to take the photo so this is as close as I could get. I doubt that anybody not conversant with our cars could tell that it isn't OEM. The camera itself works well with all the usual functions and is controlled via an app on your phone.

Thanks to Jim's inspiration I eventually decided on https://oewitness.com Very highly recommended by a colleague at work who let me see his installation (It was on a Mercedes and it looks superbly engineered). Basically it just looks like it was part of the car's original design. They are going to install it for me on Saturday. If anybody is interested I'll put a picture or two on this thread.

Hi folks, I thought I would post on replacing the fuel filter on my 2013 XF, 2.2d Prem. Lux as I had an issue that some may have also experienced. I looked online before changing the filter and didn't see many clear posts on this so here I go. 1. I placed rags under the filter so to catch any fuel that would escape. I also opened the filler cap. 2. I removed the 3 screws retaining the filter. (always good to have a magnetic tool available in case any screws drop as did in my case. 🤨). 3. Push in the tabs and remove the 4 hoses. Quite easy to do. Maybe a good idea to take a pic on your phone in case of any issues when refitting. On saying this they should be colour coded. 4. Lift up the filter and remove the 4 pin plug underneath. 5. Check the new filter matches the old one. Now here is when I had a problem. As I stated previously I couldn't find precise help online on if the filter needed primed or not so I refitted as is and after the car would not start. I ran down the battery trying. So back to the filter. 6. As the battery was charging I once again removed the filter following the steps above but this time I used the appropriate Allen key to u screw the raised port on the filter and then I pulled the whole thing out. 7. I then placed a finger underneath to prevent the fuel leaking out and I filled the filter with deisel. I then screwed the plunger back in, for the want of a better descriptive word and tightened with the Allen key. 8. I once again refitted the filter, remembering to plug the tab in underneath and also the tab above and the car started on the first attempt and has run smoothly since. I just wanted to list this as there may be a few of you out there in the same position and wanting to save some hard earned cash by completing a service yourself. Just a piece of advice is to purchase a Jag/LR diagnostic handheld as this will allow you to complete the oil, EPB reset etc. Really does save money. I hope a few of you find this helpful.

I have read lots of this warning light coming on but in my instance I've discovered to my cost the DPF has blocked up and blown and exhaust gasket. I got no amber or red warning light to warn me first. Doing lots of short journeys I understand but I don't understand why the engine warning light never came on, anyone had this ? and now i will use Millers DPF fuel additive cleaner, although I always have used Shell V Max too. I suppose such short 5 or 10 minute journeys with a V6 were never a good idea. best
