Thank you Peter

I had the same concern as my wheels are 19'' and the spare one is 18''. At the end of the day the space saver spare wheel is designated to make you able to get to the service and with those circumstances there is no problem of using 1'' smaller spare wheel.

I am keeping trip B content from new. As I am writing this post I have done 4302 miles with 46 mpg, 55 % driving style and over 6 hours of eco stop/start. It is incredible that thank to auto stop/start system I have saved my engine of running for that time.

Hello to my Jag fellows, I am happy and proud owner of my XF Sportbrake R-Sport 2.0 D (180bhp) beauty. I had gone through the handbook a number of times. Found a lot of not obvious info (for eg. autonomous emergency braking system (AEB) works only up to 50 mph, so the salesman was right advising me not to test that) however I can't figured out why do I need to activate Adaptive Speed Limiter every time I jump in the car? If I activate that option by holding C button on my steering wheel panel or activate through settings, it remains active even after engine switched off. However after leaving the car and fully locking, when unlock and start the engine, the adaptive speed limiter is not active. I am quite annoying with the fact I have to activate that every time. Is that standard or maybe issue just with my car?

Hi Peter, It says on the wheel label not to exceed 50mph. What's the "offending wheel" means?

Normally my Sportbrake R-Sport beauty can do 600 miles on one tank

Alternatively you can try stainless steel from Halfords for about £40

My total cost of upgrading to space saver spare wheel was £100 for wheel and tools from ebay and £70 for foam from the dealer. It gives a piece of mind and also useful when you want to rotate your wheels (to extend tyre life) on your drive way. I do that every 6k miles.

My Sportbrake 2.0 D (180 bhp) can easily reach at least 55 mpg on the trip to Brussels (350 miles). By the way Jaguar Ingenium engines with DPF and DEF (AdBlue) are very clean.

I had the same issue in my beauty. Changed to kmh but speed limit still displayed in mph. However it is possible to change everything (speed, fuel consumption) to km/h and l/100km

Its unlikely to be plug & play I'm afraid. I thought I can upgrade my tread plates to illuminated. Had them removed but the wiring wasn't there. My experience as Land Rover employee that JLR cars have wiring harnesses to the spec. So if your car for example doesn't have reverse camera it means to upgrade it you will also need a new harness.

I've upgraded my XF Sportbrake to space saver spare wheel for £170 (ebay) use it also when rotate my tyres.

Yes indeed its the same colour. Same as veneer could be called either gloss black or piano black.
