  1. Tricky one that, thanks Peter... Manufacturing Ha!
  2. Great link - thanks Joe! I'll see how I get on. Cheers, Jon
  3. Hi Clive, Phew - thanks for that. I did wonder if it was a sensor problem since it comes and goes from time to time. Also, it seems to go away on a longish run (unlikely at the mo!). I'll cross fingers at wait for things to return to some semblance of normality! Cheers, Jon
  4. HI All, Does anyone know how to deal with the "Water in Fuel - See Handbook" warning message (2011 XF-S 3.0L). Everywhere seems to be closed atm so a dealer visit is unlikely, but I really want to cure it! Cheers, Jon
  5. Mine does much the same, but not every time. It's the aircon condenser shedding the moisture it extracts from the air coming into the car. My last 5 cars have all done much the same, but my XF not so much at the moment, maybe dur to a dry cool winter.
  6. Hi Steven, Sorry if these are stupid questions, but... What happens if you leave your phone outside the car? Have you tried pairing your phone again? Apart from that, I'm at a loss. Cheers, Jon
  7. Hi Paul, That sounds great (pardon the pun!). Luckily for me, mine came with the B&W system and it's stunning. I'm also lucky enough to have a B&W / Musical Fidelity system at home. However, back to cars... Have you done anything to improve the dim/yellow old interior lights (replacing them with LEDs)? If so, was it difficult? Cheers, Jon
  8. My 2011 XF-S 3.0D has just clicked over 70K miles. Am I on borrowed time or can I relax for a bit? Cheers, Jon
  9. Hi Joseph, There should be some touch-screen buttons down the lefthand side of the screen, one should be labelled 'Audio'. Touch that and you should see the screen refresh to show whatever media you are playing. Cheers, Jon
  10. Hi Q, I'm on my second car with paddles. They seem unintuitive at first, incredibly so, but when you practice a bit, it's fine. One word of caution though - don't start off using them in S mode! Practice first in D, overriding the normal automatic selection, probably by choosing a higher gear when cruising or a lower one to slow down without braking. If you go for full override (in S mode) it can get a little hairy until you practice (my brother-in law pulled a downshift when he though he was turning off main beam in mine!!!). At the end of the day, I think they're there just for an occasional bit of fun; most of the time the gearbox gets it right; although it does hang on to lower gears a little more than necessary. Have fun and enjoy either way! Cheers, Jon
  11. Hi Vincent, I totally concur with Peter, whilst also doing lots of short runs, I do make sure I have a long 'blast' every week or so, along with an occasional (3 monthly) trip to in-laws in Ireland. So far, so good! I do make sure to always use premium diesel and a regular shot of Miller's Oil additive (discount with membership available at Halfords!). Try not to be disheartened - the XF has many joys on offer, but do 'take it for a spin' regularly! Best of luck, Jon
