Hi Stuart, Nice looking car, and the usage is always a bonus. I love using mine (have an SV8, precursor to the XFR) and as my only motor it means she gets used quite often, also now on about 104k miles. Previously owned a 3.0D XF, that was a mix of torque and great MPG, but was missing petrol. Love ...
I would recommend having a chat with the guys at Swallows. They specialise in the more modern Jaguars and know the XF inside out. An email over with your requirements will allow them to recommend the best for your budget and useage. I know from experience they really helped guide me buying the right...
I am need of replacing the heating module on my XF drivers seat. Discovered the other morning driving to football that what I thought was a gentle heat, was actually no heat when my son asked me to turn his off as it was too hot! Lo and behold, the drivers heating module has stopped working. I hear ...
Hi Andy,
That's good feedback, I'm currently running on Nankang N20's and I am finding them really good, good levels of grip, but feels smooth and direct.

Hi Folks Can anyone advise of any issues with removing/replacing the steel bolts in the Ali casting holding the Serpentine belt tensioner and idler pulley on my 2002 4.2 XK8 ? Also does anyone know if thread lock is advisable on re fixing the bolts and does anyone know the correct torque settings fo...
Good news, In a fit of "rage" (well more like warmed up temper tantrum) I explored the cup holders and what was holding them in..... answer (luckliy) nothing, just two rubber tabs on the bottom at each end. If you bend and pull in the right direction it just pops out. Clean it up and pops straight b...
No idea, I need to do this myself and had a look the other day. It seems like it is an overly complex removal of centre console for what looks like it should be an easy operation. Maybe this would be worthy of asking on the Podcast? Tom at swallows knows the XF pretty well. I would be interested in ...
Hi Stephen, I have seen these around on Facebook and other sites advertised. A quick look on EBay and this one comes up. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401606874480 Problem with all these things is, unless the produced has the rights to make them, Jaguar will come down hard and stop them making things w...
Stunning car.
Looking forward to owning one of these in the future. For me they are the ultimate Jag, even with second hand Grandma's taken into account....
Hi Mike,
That appears to be the solution. Being Keyless I just have to turn the car off after I have pressed the handbrake button down for a few seconds.
