Newb looking to buy!

November 10, 20169 yr

Hey guys, had my eye on an XF S for a while now.

Usual questions are pitfalls to look for and things to check/ common issues to keep in mind?

also I want the best spec for my budget (up to £16k) I'm confused on the differences between the portfolio and premium luxury?

must haves are the upgraded stereo and cruise as I have a bad right knee.

rather not have the cream or ivory interior just because it's not my thing!

Hoping you lads and ladies are all as helpful as my previous OC :-) look forward to chatting to you all!

XF X260 Tailgate

Now after a few weeks of intermittent failure during closing where in it would stop and re-open as if something was preventing closing, it now refused to move from the fully open position. I

S-Type 2006 - Remotes won't pair with the car

rhino.fog · 14 hours ago14 hr

I have a 2006 S-Type. The buttons on one of the remotes started to fail so it was refurbished and I then took both keys to a local independant Jag garage that has the Jaguar computer to get it repaired with the car. The sequence was followed, first clearing the car of any keys and then repairing them both together. The clear worked but the 2 x remotes won't pair with the car. Now I have no working remotes. It was determined there must be a fault with the module in the drivers door. A repla

What made you pick an F-type R? What else did you consider?

Hey all, I'm thinking of buying an F-type R coupe, and just wondering what else people considered specifically coupe owners prior to F-type R. And what made you go for F-type over something else
