  1. I absolutely detest the re brand. I have loved Jaguars for so long and recently purchased and XE to see me through the next few years. I fear now, that when it comes to replacing this car, I will need to move away from Jaguar as they have already away from their own loyal customer base. The advertising is awful, the new badges are awful, the cars look awful. I for one cannot see who would want to invest in these awful looking cars, especially at the price that is being thrown around.
  2. More Here https://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/jaguar-ditches-roaring-big-cat-badge-for-its-ev-rebrand-and-admits-it-won-t-appeal-to-traditional-customers/ar-AA1uls72?ocid=msedgntp&pc=DCTS&cvid=1d482553c6bb47ddb0d109db731f8e2b&ei=14
  3. What does everyone think? I personally am really hoping that I don`t lose my love for Jaguar, but I do fear this may spark the end of our relationship!! https://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/jaguar-unveils-new-logo-and-look-as-it-prepares-for-an-electric-future/ar-AA1ulqoV?ocid=msedgntp&pc=DCTS&cvid=040710aebc7f47f48508ce7c50aa3f1f&ei=11
  4. Thanks, I know its not the tyres as said, I have moved them around. I guess the drive shaft could be a good place to start. Don't have the tools but this gives me something to go to the mechanic with!
  5. Thanks mate. I have tried the braking thing and it doesn't help so I can only assess that its not brake dust. I did think about a caliper, but would that make the car limp as described?
  6. About a year ago, I took the car to the garage as I had quite a bad vibration from the rear when I was braking. It was quite bad on motorways and higher speeds. Garage recommended I replaced pads and discs. So I ended up replacing them all round. Problem seemed to stop however, at lower speeds, such as when I am slowing to a stop at traffic lights, it feels as if there is limp from the rear offside wheel, as if it is oval shaped. I have swapped the wheels and the limp is still there so I know it is not a tyre or wheel issue, and now the juddering has returned when braking. I have jacked up the car and spun the wheels and cannot hear any bearing issues. I am going to have to take her back to the garage but I feel a bit fobbed off by them by stating that the pads and discs were the issue, when it appears they weren't. Anyone had this issue before? Any ideas what it could be?
  7. This happened to me about 5 months ago. The unit is on its way out. I managed to get a second hand one fitted for £100.
  8. No idea mate. Plug it in and see how it goes!
  9. I think you will end up regretting it if you don't get the XFR. Go for it!!!
  10. If you only got the car a month ago, I would be straight back to the dealer with the problem. If it was a private sale, its probably worth asking if the problem is legacy and also looking the the actual sensors. very odd for all 4 to go though. Do you have a code reader?
  11. Mine is doing the sae thing and I have been informed by my local garage that the compressor needs replacing at a cost of £980. So I am driving around with the windows open now.
  12. I have a 3.0 V6 and I had the rubber cam belt changed last year. No chain anywhere.
