Welcome to the Club, Lee.

.I have an s type with a slightly smaller 2.7 litre diesel from which the 3.0 litre diesel was developed.

I also do short runs and try to do a longer run - about 45 miles - once a month or so.  I have had my s type for just under 8 years and never had a problem with the DFF.  I use premium fuel and every fill up I put in a dose of  Miller's Diesel Power Eco Max which seems to do the job.

Get you XF, do like I suggest, and you will enjoy your car,

Regards,

Peter,

If doing a good run every weekend should be ok with a diesel.
