Car Cover "Richbrook Covers"
Given my XE is metallic black it shows every spec of dust even after cleaning. As my car can sit in my garage for 2 and 3 days at a time when I come to use it it looks ready for another wash. Bought a Richbrook cover for £99 incl delivery. They ask what car you have on their website and send the app...

Re: Smell of urine while air con on
Dealer confirmed the smell in my car when air con is running cold. Not related to the adblue system despite the urine type smell which was my problem. Although the car was only registered in Jan 2017 the dealer recommended an air con "bomb" which is simply an air purifier designed for air con system...

Smell of urine while air con on
Since I purchased this XE 2.0 diesel R Sport around a month ago I have noticed the unmistakeable odour of urine while the air con is running. It's starting to annoy me and ruining the experience of an otherwise impressive car. I'm assuming it has something to do with this adblue system feeding this ...

Re: Visible fumes out of fuel neck filler ??
Internet suggests the smoke like vapour is normal according to Jaguar for the XE diesel. It's supposed to be related to the tank warming the fuel prior to delivery into the fuel system and the colder fuel going into the tank as you fill up generates the vapour like fumes. Imagine that with petrol. B...

Visible fumes out of fuel neck filler ??
I wondered if I was seeing things today having put the first diesel fuel in the tank after collecting the car last week with half a tank of fuel. I kid you not but it looked like smoke was coming out of the filler neck as I filled up. Surely this is not something that is normal. We have had a number...

Re: Return to Jaguar
Thanks for the welcome MIke. Yes I agree the xe is a car that people who are unsure need to drive it. Not sure if it's a factor but as a AWD car it reminds me of a go cart round bends but i might be imagining the AWD system is kicking in or whether the car handles the same a a rear wheel drive car.

Re: XE Front lower bumper side vents
Cheers mike
I noted an online pdf file you can buy as a workshop manual for the xe on e bay. Around £25 and you receive a link in your e bay message box to download the data which includes all aspects of the car incl bodywork. Might buy it.

Dealers Stock and How they finance it.
Got caught off guard last week after paying for my 2017 XE at the Jaguar dealership after declining to pay for it in full when i decided on the car a week earlier. Left a £1000 deposit instead and a week later was invited back in to collect the car and pay the balance. Straight forward i thought. Ch...

XE Front lower bumper side vents
Wondered if any member can tell me if it is necessary to remove the front bumper in order to remove the two lower left and right air vents in the bumper. Looking at the front grille, that looks like a bumper off to remove it.

Return to Jaguar
I returned to Jaguar last week with a 2017 Jaguar XE 2.0d R Sport. Came out of a 2007 Lexus LS460, remarkable car but was happy to return to Jaguar for the fourth time. Previous Jaguars were 2009 X Type, 2007 XK and 2008 XJ. The technology in the XE has really impressed me including the Jaguar Conne...

Re: Rear Bespoke Centre Console SWB XJ 358 Champagne Leat
Hi Mike, the parts I am offering x4 in the sale section of the 350 section are a result of changing cars. I know have a Lexus LS460 so have a number of Jaguar items for sale, some of which I have already sold. I thought the 4 items for sale at the moment might interest some 350/358 model owners. If ...
