That's the odd point, no obvious smoke at all.

Ok, so what is acceptable oil consumption? The car has used 750ml over the past 600 miles or so. Should I be worried?

This is good news indeed. I am delighted that common sense has prevailed and that we were all encouraged through the forum to write to DOT and complain. A great effort by all concerned.

Hmmm pity! That all sounds a bit complicated. It's unfortunate as I've only recently finished replacing both blower motors on my
XJ6 series 3............and what a performance that was!

Thanks Pop. I'll wait for the weather to improve...............

Thanks - I'll have a look.

It seems that it won't turn off even with the key out of the ignition! Any thoughts please?

And FINALLY.............it goes in for a full sunroof assembly replacement on Thursday! Parts cost approx £1150 and 5 hours labour. Lets hope it cures the rattle for their sake as it's a warranty item thankfully. I'll report back if it does cure the rattle.

Well, there we have it......at least two other owners noting the same issue. I'm not that quick thinking to remember to put it into sport mode when approaching a junction and most likely will ask the dealers to investigate if software update is available.

Dare I say it: possibly built down to a price or poor development and testing in an attempt to get new cars launched quickly? A brief trawl of the various Jaguar social media sites has plenty of issues regarding sunroofs in particular. This really is an own goal for Jaguar as it does lead to poor cu...

yes, thanks Mike, that's a good technical answer similar to that given over the phone by Ken Jenkins. I'll give it a go once the weather warns up a bit.

Or so I thought - the rattle returned and is as bad as ever. Anybody want a Sportbrake?!

Mike - thanks. It's still quiet actually. I only noticed it whilst sorting a leaky cam cover gasket. The engine has covered 56000miles and has more new oil in it than Texas. The rest of the engine remains good, excellent compressions and still putting out 165bhp on a rolling road, using no oil or wa...
