Thank you,I will look to call in Saturday morning when I am passing

Thanks for extra knowledge,just to say to replace a DPF is like replacing a small part of exhaust system-not that difficult.

Hi,Hope you don't mind me chipping in on DPF issue.I had a Pug 307 HDI,I do 80 miles a day and usually around speed limit,yet my dpf failed and get you home was 20 mph.Pug wanted £900 + to fix,bought a new DPF off ebay for £130,fitted it myself (quite easy) another £25 for diagnostic/reset and cured.When I looked at my DPF it was full of a thick paste residue that we burned out and cleaned and my mate fitted mine into his 307 when he had same fault and it worked a treat.By the way,on the pug there is a separate tank for DPF cleaner fluid which is auto injected every time you fill up,not sure if XF has same,will investigate.

Hi,Looking for an independent on the Wirral or Merseyside possibly even North Wales at a stretch? Thanks Paul

Many thanks,the car I test drove was a 2.7 with keyless ignition and reversing camera,which I liked.Obvioulsy reading reviews etc,cannot quite figure out difference on luxury,premium,Portfolio etc.Mileage is most important,then age,then spec,so will take any advice going.Finally I have used an independent Merc man on wirral for years-brilliant and fair.Looking for same for Jag? Thanks again Paul

Hi everyone, I have been a Merc man for 15+ years,finally saved up enough to buy a CLS which I think is a gr8 looking motor.Whilst waiting for CLS to be brought round to test drive,wandered over to pearl grey XF 2.7,nice motor.Test drove CLS,so disappointed by dash etc,so old hat,my C270 estate is better.Asked could we test drive Jag,10 minutes later-this is next car-WOW. So have come on here to ask advice. Budget circa 13K,80 miles per day-all motorway,do I go for the 2.7 or 3.0,which spec and what gremlins to look out for? In your hands guys,point me in right direction please.
