Hi Dawud. Wow, that is a LOT of issues! My first thought is if you bought from a dealer, go straight back and start quoting sale of goods act. If it was a private sale I would be looking for an auto-electrican with Jag experience. I did a quick search and based on your profile location you might give these guys a call: https://autotektuning.co.uk/ On the cambelt it is needed ASAP but I would want to make sure the electrics were sorted first before I fork out several hundred for a cambelt change. Good luck John

Hi Alex I would expect you to be getting DTC codes if you are getting dashboard error messages It is possible you need Jag specific software. Have you checked the Fuel Pump Driver Module? Also I would re-check the need to recode a new fuel pump as Gemini (AI search) suggests it is needed. This might also help if you have not already found it. http://www.jagrepair.com/images/Electrical/XFWorkshopManual/Fuel System.pdf Good luck John

Hi Nanak https://www.vehiclerevolution.com/products/jaguar-xf-xfr-xfrs-rear-diffuser-black-abs-plastic-2008-2015 or think you need both of the below..... https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-C2Z16212--SelectedCurrency-1 https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-C2Z16211 Regards John

Hi Alex Have you looked for any stored error codes since the original problem? Only other thing that I can think of is that the replacement pump needs to be paired or coded to the car. Maybe this will help with the fuel gauge issue: Regards John

Hi John Code is probably 1313 Sometimes 0000 or 1111 may work. Good luck John

Hi Mark Pretty sure by 2019 that CD player was optional. Easiest solution is to use bluetooth to connect to your phone and listen to spotify etc... John

Pretty sure it is under the rear parcel shelf. Regards John

Are these what you are after? https://www.jagsparesinternational.co.uk/prodcat.asp?root=|100:259| Good luck John

Hi Martin That sounds very expensive!. Presumably a Jag main dealer. I would be looking for other quotes without a doubt. As a guide to parts prices try searching online at places like this : https://www.bestpartstore.co.uk/jaguar/xf-x260/115130/10221-shock-absorber Good luck John

Hi Kevin Can you just clarify. Are you talking about and external oil leak or an internal failure of the the cylinder head gasket? If an external leak it would help to see a photo.... Regards John

Hi Tim Personally I have grave doubts about messing with the turbo and adding Mr Muscle! I would strongly advise a code reader before randomly trying things that might not be the problem anyway. I would either be buying a code reader from ebay / amazon or getting the codes read by a mechanic. From what you said it does not have an MOT so presumably getting it to a garage to have the codes read is an issue. You could try and book an MOT so that you could legally drive there to get the codes read? Good luck. ....they are great cars and well worth the effort of saving them 🙂

From your response, my guess would be a faulty injector. I would also check the smell / level of the engine oil as if an injector is not operatin g properly, excessive diesel may be being washed into the crankcase causing oil dilution. If the smell / level are OK hopefully the code reader will help. I assume you do not have a engine light on the dashboard?.....

Hi Tim This is mine: If you are getting a strong smell of diesel in the exhaust it could be what is causing the smoke. Have you got a code reader to check for the exact nature of the issue? If not they are only about £20 off ebay or amazon and would really help you get to the bottom of it. Good luck John

Hi Tim and welcome. For me you have not yet eliminated turbo issues. "White" smoke to me indicates either coolant in the exhaust from something like a cylinder head gasket leak or oil burning which can come from a whole host of places. I would start by checking coolant level and condition. Basically you are looking for falling level and/or oil contamination. If that all looks good I would be thinking oil smoke. I always used to try holding a white hanky over the exhaust when revving the engine to see what is actually coming out which might help. ....and just to be pessimistic whilst you are at ground level it is worth having a look at the state of the sills, not the outer painted plastic which will be fine but the metal underneath which are very prone to rust. Just part of the joy of X-Type ownership 🙂 Good luck, John

Personally I replaced my 2013 2,2 XF Sportbrake with an MB GLC 220D as the aircon would have cost around £2000 to fix (£30 TX valve, rest for labour!). I would have preferred to go for the newer XF sportbrake but was put off by the Ingenium engines which have a woeful reputation. The I pace does appeal to me, particularly if you are not bothered by depreciation as they are now available for a fraction of the "new" price although I am still nervous about EV battery longevity and "range anxiety".
