Potential XF purchase.

Off to look at a couple of XF tomorrow. Anything in particular I should look for, both sound as tho they have good service history and are from a fairly local "prestige" car dealer who seems to have a very good reputation. 

One is a Premium Luxury on a 61 plate with only 55k miles, 2.2d. In Crystal Blue. I love the look of it. But it only has reverse sensors with no camera, and no front sensors. Which is a bit of a shame.  Could these be retrofitted at all?

Other car is a 3.0d with 90k miles but is a better trim and 65 plate. And a bit more money. 

Any thoughts and input greatly appreciated. 

 

Thank you 


Try to get one with at least two working key fobs. Spares can be expensive.

    Am I right in saying that cam belt change on the diesels is 100,000 or 7 years? Whichever comes first?

    And, there's two belts?

    The cam belts are 70000 or 7 years, so check the service records.

     

    Thank you. 

    Does the 2.2d have two belts? 

    Or would that be the 3.0d V6 only??

    Thanks again

    Well. I've commited now. 2011 2.2d Premium Luxury. 55k miles. In Crystal Blue. Cam belt and water pump is being done prior to collection, wheels refurbished, service, MOT and six months warranty. 

    The only issue is, the keys lol. Typical. 😕

    One fob only, and one actual key. 

    Couldn't negotiate another fob in the deal. I'm not massively annoyed. But it is typical that I was happy with everything else. Lol

    So, I have seen i can get a blank fob, then have it programmed to the car, correct? And I don't need to go to Jaguar to do so, is this also correct?? Advice on where to go would be good, I've read that some locksmiths can do this? 

    Anyway be gentle as it's my first Jaaaaaaag and very much looking forward to it.

    Hopefully looking good for weekend collection, fingers crossed. 

    Can anyone tell me how to remove the chrome trim around the windows, especially the top piece on the front doors? 

    Can't seem to find this information anywhere 😕
