    I had a similar problem last year but found keeping battery charged up and a good long run sorted problem. Reoccurred again this spring did same again and no problem since. If it comes back I shall trie battery charge alone to see if it might be electrical before driving it 50 milers along the M1 to cure it. chidders

    Welcome to the club Philip. I run an 06 s type and the main thing I find is a good weekly charge of the battery with a good quality charger. you,ll find a lot of useful information on here as to individual problems. There can’t be many that haven,t been sorted by someone on here.. chidders

    Hi Rod , is you car manual or automatic. If it’s manual it would probably be the clutch plate that’s getting oil on it and then burning it off. If it’s automatic probably needs the oil and filter changing. chidders

    Did they do the correct system reset when they fitted the battery? You can switch the system on and off, but afraid I can,t tell you how. Somewhere in on the XF forum will no doubt be along shortly to tell you how to check. Chidders

    Low battery on my s type causes similar problem but it’s thetraction control light that comes on and then goes off by its self..Therefore suggest check battery and use a smart charger to ensure better levels are kept up. Chidders

    Used copper grease on the wheel nuts of my Range Rover a whileback. Drove 3 miles and the nuts had all loosened sufficiently for the wheels to rattle. DO NOT USE ON WHEEL THREADS ONLY ON THE RADIUS OF THE NUTS TO PREVENT WELDING TO WHEELS. CHIDDERS

    I bought a 2006 s type diesel the day before lockdown in 2019. Have abs and handbrake warnings on start up but everything clears as I drive off. Local garage serviced every 12 months and MOT at the same time. Now has 123000 on the clock and runs like a sewing machine up to the legal limit. Chidders

    I would suggest that you obtain a good quality trickle charger and hook the car up overnight on a weekly basis as your mileage is obviously limited on the isle.. chidders

    Hi Nichole, It sounds like your petrol is either evaporating in the carbs or fuel is seeping back towards the fuel tank.. both maybe caused br a small leak somewhere.. suggest you take it for Arun then look at all of the fuel pipes to see if you can see where fuel has been leaking. USING A TORCH NOT A LIGHTER OR MAINS INSPECTION LIGHT. CHIDDERS
