New Owner - 8 years in the waiting...

[AlexWard]

Just taken ownership of a 2009 3.0 S. 

Loved these cars since a colleague who works in Jag R&D turned up in one just after launch...

I've been trawling through this forums looking at the good and the bad and its weird how many niggles and faults are still present whatever the make vehicle. I've come from a 3.0 V6 ford, which the wife now drives

Looked around for a V6 petrol but couldn't find one in a spec I wanted but really not ashamed of the diesel!!

I have questions regarding voice control though which I will definitely l will deliver to the appropriate forum but I am amazed about the lack of info on this net unless I'm l looking in the wrong place..

Welcome to the club, Alex.

There is nothing wrong with the 3.0 litre diesel as long as you remember that a diesel engine has to have a slightly different driving technique to a petrol engine.  Gently to start and let it tick over for a few seconds when you stop to let the turbo slow down, and use premium fuel and the diesel will perform very well indeed.

Voice control has not been fitted on my car, which is OK by me, but their are several members with experience of retrofitting such modern bits of technology.  I am sure you will get some good assistance.

Regards

Peter.
