Hi. If the gear selector was to fail on Jaguar Xf 3.0d v6 x260 2017 with 50k on the clock, while driving. What effect could this have on the engine ? The D was flashing during the total lost of power. This all happened within 20/30 seconds of lost of power. Reason for the enquiry is my car engine sized up with no warnings. The gear selector was stuck in park and couldn’t be moved. The rear wheels wouldn’t move even after releasing the break catch release under the bonnet. My independence Jaguar specialist garage is informed me the electric break was broken. Any help or advice would be appreciated. With thanks

Hi Thanks for your reply. Service has always been carried out by dealership Barr the last one. 80k service, believe this includes the oil change carried out by the dealership at 37299 miles 7-2022. 96k service carried out 46k In December 2023. By independent garage, only repairs Jaguar cars, 30 years experience, trained by Jaguar at the start of his career. Car’s mileage is at 50k now. From my research this isn’t a rare issue. It’s how to prove there is it a problem with the engine, will cost 2-3k to strip the engine to find the cause. What was strange was the flashing of the D during the break down and unable to move the gear nob from park. Rear wheels locked. This was after releasing the brake under the bonnet. Garage told me the brake release was broken. Not sure if this in anyway is connected combined with the flashing D on the dash Any info would be appreciated. With thanks

Blown V6 3.0d XF engine 2017. Driving on dual carriageway, speed 75/85 mph. Steering wheel started to vibrate then the dash. Engine didn’t sound normal , then totally lost all power. This was in the space of 20 seconds. No warning lights. Taken to reliable Jag specialist garage. Told the engine has seized. WTF Has been serviced as per service instructions. Anyone encountered this issue ? Anyone Spoken to dealership/Jaguar U.K about this dangerous fault if so what was the outcome ? I’ve had the car since 2018, 1 year old. Always serviced. Oil changed at 46,000, now on 50,000
