You don't say if the Car is a Saloon or an Estate, and to get anybody interested you need to show photos.

Good morning. You certainly have a very nice looking XF. I've heard that it's advisable to change the ( ie coolant pump i think but don't know if it's for a Petrol or Diesel Engine ). Regards Tom.

Thanks for this, i'll need to check if i can find it for my XF and see if it gives me more information than i got from the jaguar dealer. Regards Tom.

Well done you, i've heard that to add Mods to the X260 XF is very difficult because wiring looms are made for individual cars. I won't need this as i've got the Reverse Camera, but i'll have a look on their website and nice to hear that they are in Scotland. Many thanks for adding this to the Club. Regards Tom.

Welcome to the Club. I bought my XF in September and having looked at XF models for 3 to 4 month's and in particular the 3:0 litre model's ,as members who have the V6 engine like the smoothness and power of these engine's. But having checked out Servicing Costs ( ie Twin turbos, 2 EGR Valves, and changing Belts could cost £1000 pounds ) i've gone for the 2:0 litre 180 hp Portfolio model, and i'm enjoying every minute. When checking out a XF X260 you'll have to check out what you want on the Car ( ie heated windscreen, heated seats, folding mirrors, folding rear seats, adaptive suspension ) as there's not 2 XF Car's the same as wiring looms are made for individual cars. And check out the Service History, as there's no Stamps in the Handbook now it's all on a Computer. Regards Tom.

Welcome to the Club . Steve. The X Type is a great car, and you having owned one previously you'll know what needs to be looked at and checked. But if you need advice you just need to come onto the Club, so in the meantime enjoy your X Type. Regards Tom.

it just shows how Dealer's try to Rip off Owner's, well done in getting it sorted.

Happy New Year Joe, and to all members of the Jaguar owner's club.

You could also try Carparts4Less,they are part of Eurocarparts but are usually Cheaper. I used Pagid discs and Pagid brake pads on my previous x type and never had any problems. I did wonder if the original jaguar pads produced less brake dust.

I drove the car into the Ford garage on Monday and left it with with them as they were going to charge the battery overnight, well i get a phone call on Tuesday saying that the Start/Stop is still not working. I left the car with them for another day as the weather was horrendous 4 lorries getting blown over and one landing on a police car on the A1 road. So i get a phone call on the Wednesday and telling me that they've fitted a New Battery with a rating of 95AH 850A compared to the Jaguar battery with a rating of 80AH 800A and everything is working at the moment. Regards Tom.

Welcome to the Club. On my XF the WI FI Sim Holder is on the Roof of the ( Boot/Trunk ) along with a USB which has a Spanner on it to be used for Servicing and they are quite close to the Pull Cable for the Folding Seats. Regards Tom.

My XF is the same start/stop has never worked, the dealer checked the charge in the Battery and it was only 75% and they said it needs to be at least 85% for the start/Stop to work and they left it at that. So i've kept at them to get it sorted, so i can't wait for Monday the 9th of December to come and they want the car over night to charge the battery and then we'll see what they say because i think they are not wanting to fit a new one and i can see why having looked at the Cost off these AGM Batteries. I've a friend with an XE and he had to get a new battery and his start/Stop work's perfectly even within 2 or 3 minutes of leaving his house. Regards Tom.

Welcome to the Club Mark. I've had 3 X Type's in the past and they're great car's, what you have to watch is that some Mondeo parts will fit but other parts like the Suspension you are better to buy original jaguar parts because Mondeo Suspension Parts can cause your Tyres to wear unevenly. Regards Tom.

Thanks for giving us the name of the Company. Regards Tom.

Hello Ian. Welcome to the Club You have a nice looking XF and All Wheel Drive, i bought mine in September and was looking into buying an All Wheel Drive but finnished up with a Rear Wheel Drive. And i've just bought secondhand Alloys with Winter Tyres and have them fitted now and what a difference they make and am really enjoying the the XF. I hope your enjoying your XF, there's something different about driving a Jag. Regards Tom.

Very nice and enjoy, you don't say what engine petrol or diesel.

When i bought my XF in September from a Ford garage they said that they had booked the car in for a Software update to the local jaguar dealer's and also said that they had bought 16 litres of AdBlue from the jaguar dealer that sold the car in the first place, and filled up the DEF Reservoir in the boot. Well after driving 37 miles to get home i get a message about the AdBlue not being properly dispersed and the message said Non Critical. So the car went in for the H149 Recall to the Jaguar Dealer and then i get a phone call telling me that to delete the Non Critical message from the Dash they would need to Drain the AdBlue and then refill with New Ad Blue and asking me to Pay £160 pounds for this to be done, so i told them to phone the Ford garage and they agreed to pay the £160 pounds.The Handbook does mention that overfilling can Cause Problems, my mechanic that has serviced my car's over the year's said that he Just Tops up the Ad Blue Reservoir and doesn't no how it can be Overfilled .

Sorry for giving you the wrong information, i must have been thinking about the facelift model. Regards Tom.

I have 2 Barbados Alloy 1 7" Wheels for Sale to fit an X type . The were bought to be used with Winter Tyres on the front wheel drive x type, but in the end one was used as a spare and the other lay in the shed. They're in very good condition and have no kerb marks.

I'm led to believe that each sensor has a battery fitted to them inside the tyre and may need changing after 4 year's, and i've also heard that they need to be working when the car goes in for it's Mot. I've got them on my XF and one was acting up, but it seems to have settled down now.

Good morning. just wondering if you've had a test drive yet, i bought a XF Portfolio in September it has 18" Alloys and i think they're big enough and the car drives very well. I prefer the Rib pattern of the Seats on the Portfolio and i think they'll keep there shape better. Regards Tom.

As Joe has said that's it in a Nut Shell, i've been preaching what he has said when i had my 2:2 Auto Sovereign X Type, drive it as if you had stolen it or give it an Italian tune once the engine is up to temperature i give it some Revs like when coming off a Roundabout. I'm now driving a 2017 model XF Portfolio 2:0 litre 180 hp Diesel, i was really looking at the 3:0 litre XFS Model but i didn't really need a 295 hp engine and with the potential cost of servicing ( ie 2 turbos, 2 egr valves, and the cost of changing belts ) i've gone for the 2:0 litre engine and loving it. And if you buy one which you will after a test drive, look for a good Independent jaguar specialist for your servicing. Regards Tom.

I'm well pleased with the 8 inch touchscreen and the Meridian sound system just like your own, I won't be hankering for the 10 inch touchscreen as I think it will be more complicated. Enjoy your XF Pete, i've still to take mine on a long drive so hopefully it will happen in the next week or two.

Hello Pete. And thanks for the welcome, i'm not a whiz kid as far as technology is concerned, some say that the 8 inch touchscreen is out off date as well as the Sat Nav and the 10 inch touchscreen is the one to have so they say. I have the 8 inch touchscreen and i'm still learning, i usually use Waze Sat Nav on my Mobile or Google maps. Regards Tom.
