Thanks, the RS is niche so you won't get anywhere near it value on those sites unfortunately, will be a certain buyer that will be specifically seeking one. I may look at these companies that sell cars on your behalf, or maybe talk to swallow who do buy and sell niche jags, but would love it to go to someone who really wants one as they are special cars 😁

Sadly going to be selling my XFR-S soon, but looking at prices in general for XFs and larger engine cars they are all over the place. Any views on the range I should aim at? Car is in Italian Racing Red, 45k on the clock, full history with Jaguar, body condition will be good (got a couple of minor corrections to do to alloys and spoiler) runs like a dream. Good to get views, not in a rush to sell and certainly don't want to give the car away, but will need to sell at some point to move on to my next car 😀

Take it back to the garage and ask to take a look if just purchased. Does sound odd.

Worth doing for peace of mind, if never done will be in a poor state now.

Why do you want to change?

Usually this or a blocked filter in the water pump. Replacing is normally better as still have to do the work to get to the pump and the part is not expensive.

Welcome, unfortunately I think you will need different wiring loom for the electric chairs. From memory you have one for the heated seats and a seperate one for the electric chair. It may also have a seperate fuse too for the chair.

I found it a waste of time, if you have an auto box can remote start but cannot with manual. Need sim for the internet or did in my 2016 xe, was rubbish as only worked on 3g. Does have tracking capabilities and can tell you stuff like windows open and doors are unlocked. Dont think it heats seat as you need to be in it for them to trigger.

You can buy portable chargers, the AA etc carry them to jump cars, dont think they are particularly cheap and dont think they charge you battery by much I am afraid. Have heard solar trickle charges are good once battery is charged.

Need to find a good auto electrician to try fine the route cause, worth plugging in a code reader to see if anything being thrown out.

The sim card which I had in my previous XE was crap, seem to only run at 3g speeds, suspect if yours is 18 will not have been updated. Better off turning your phone into a hot spot for passengers etc

Assuming you mean a drop in power when pulling away? Could be due to a number of reasons. Is it an auto box, put in manual mode and see if it is still happening, has it just happened or building up?

Never heard of a thermostat exploding, but where did all the water come from or did the car over heat and something blow like a radiator or water pump?

Is it a diesel or petrol? If the car is running hot due to it being detected by the thermostat then I think there is a different warning light than the engine management one.

They use long life oil now in diesels hence why they look shocked. Personally when I had a diesel had it changed annually at a non dealer, as long as you check what oil they are putting in, all is good.
