Identical! Absolutely hits all the spots!

Hey Mike! Apart from colour, we seem to have similar cars! Hope you like yours as much as I do mine! J

Looks like child labour to me! 🙂

And there's me, feeling ancient, at 63!

Thought it might be fun to have a little poll! Must declare my bias for Claret, of course! Cheers Jon

Phew! Just discovered they're Adaptive Cruise Control & Adaptive Damping, neither of which I have. Heartrate now stabilised! Jon

Hi All, Having tried the method to access the Engineering Test Mode, provided by member AlexWard, I'm now a bit concerned since I get two reported faults: ACC - FAULT ADCM - FAULT Does anyone know what they might be? Thanks in advance, Jon

Also idles at 750rpm (missed that bit!) - distracted by manhole covers in Azerbaijan! J

Hi again Tony, I may have mislead you - I just checked - mine does about 1550rpm at indicated 70mph. Apologies for that. Jon

Hi Tony, Can't really comment on the X-Type, but my 3 litre XF (6 speed) does about the same at 70. Cheers, Jon

Hi Marcus, I believe the dashboard layout and most options have remained pretty stable over the life of the earlier XFs. There should be an option in the 'Vehicle' menu on the touchscreen 'Home' page to enable power folding of the mirrors. There should also be an option to drop down the nearside mirror when reversing, to better see the curb. The amount by which it drops down is also configurable, but that's something I haven't yet tried! As for right/left temperature split, there's a 'Sync' option somewhere on the 'Climate' menu on the touchscreen. This needs to be deselected to enable the left/right split. Once that's done, the pairs of up/down buttons in the righhand bottom cornet of the panel should allow driver and passenger to choose their own temperatures. Hope that helps! Cheers, Jon

I just wish I could get in front of the jobsworth who ruined one of the best roads in the south - A24 Mickleham Bends, now has average speed cameras!

Just have to go and try this now!!!

Thanks Joe

Hi All, I've seen some pix here of accessorised interior bits, like the 'growler' gear selector top. Any ideas of where to buy them, much appreciated! Thanks, Jon
