Well here goes. car went into Stratstone on Monday. apparently there is nothing wrong with the discs but the wheels were out of balance!! i just had tracking and fronts balanced 2 weeks ago and it cured a bit of the issue but I still am not happy when braking from 70mph it still judders but not as much as previous. I still feel a bumpy ride when cruising along but I guess Stratstone Jaguar just expect me to put up with it as it's not as bad as it was . not the attitude I expect from the main dealer. I'm left with a bitter taste in my mouth still as I think the car should "waft" along effortlessly which it did when I first test drove it last year in August. I really hope it improves when I switch from the crappy Budget Accelera tyres they fitted which I don't think are helping the situation but thats another story with good old Stratstone fobbed off and fed up

It's booked in with Stratstone as a warranty issue to look at the braking system again and they'll diagnose the Limp home mode issue and advise. I'll keep anyone who is interested posted on the 15th...

The rears were changed in December and also March. The fronts were done in February. to be honest I questioned the brakes binding and requested that they do a comprehensive check of the braking system whilst it was in for its 3 year service. I was told they couldnt find anything wrong despite them replacing the rear discs again! I do believe that the brakes are binding to the point I no longer use the handbrake as I thought that was causing the rears binding. when stopped I just put it in park.

Hi Steve, I do a bit of motorway driving but I do not speed excessively. I also do a lot of mixed driving and never had any brake issues with the car I had previously which had done nearly 100k miles! I'm now expecting a big bill to sort these issues which is leaving me very disallusioned.

Hi All, looking for a bit of advice on here. my 2010 3.0 V6 luxury XF has just ran out of warranty on the 9th March. since December last year it has had two new sets of rear discs and 1 set of front discs replaced under the warranty as they were warped. I 'm sad to say that I have severe juddering again under braking even though I had asked Stratstone Jaguar to check out the braking system fully whilst in for it's 3 year service a few weeks before the warranty ran out. the car has only got 29400 miles on it! I'm starting to lose the faith in the quality of the vehicle as to top it off it also drops into "restricted performance" mode randomly which resets itself after the car has been parked up for a few minutes and then will be fine for a few days then it kicks in again. has anyone else had these issues and what course of action do you recommend?

when I work out to post pics I will haha

:-D

Thanks Big Al......the day has arrived

Hi Everyone, very excited as I collect my XF 3.0 V6 Luxury tomorrow B) :D can't wait!
