Great deal from GSF for Black Friday 🙂 Brembo all round for less than £280. My preferred brakes 🙂

Get your self a CTEK MS 7, battery charger re-conditioner and use it regularly. I use mine on my S-type (which are also renown for battery drain) at least once in a fortnight and for at least 24 hours each time. This piece of equipment is used by many people on the forum. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Almost certainly poor battery condition, the electronics on these car need a lot of power and if the battery is the tiniest bit dodgy they start to play up

As a possible starting point. What state are your batteries in? These cars are notoriously fickle unless the main battery is producing a healty voltage. In fact, one of the reasons the engine stop / start fails to work is that it detects a low overall voltage. I can't say all the problems you mention would be connected but I'd certainly consider a new battery if you don't know the age of the present one and may have a bearing upon the faults you describe.The secondary battery has been known to fail but not as often as the main one.

Hi Abbas, Adding to what Garry has said, it is always worthwhile to check out the battery. A member last year bought an S type which had a battery on it that would have been good on a mini. Jaguars do need a big battery. Regards, Peter.

Looking through the chats I can not find anything about next year's 3G phase out in the UK. This will affect my 2016 XF ( and many other Jags). Does anyone know if an upgrade being offered by anyone ??

Hello All 2012 XF Diesel . . . . a great car and I'm very fond of it . . . . .BUT: Electronics faults are becoming a real bugbear and I'm hoping for help finding how to get them sorted. Am in Warwickshire area. DAB stopped working The thing that turns the engine off at traffic lights doesn't work Sound / speakers dip out; it only takes a tweak of the volume control to get it back. Parking sensors and camera work intermittently . . . . Indicators: they work - but there is no accompanying sound. Anyone know of a specialist - or am I best going to main dealer? Thank you for reading, and I hope you can help. Graham Robson
