Hi if anyone could help, that would be great, I have a 3.0 diesel XF saloon 2009 and the exhausts have dropped at the back of the car and the supports from the bumper have rusted through I thought I would have to change the entire rear subframe but is it just the case its the rear bumper support beam that needs replacing and if so is it a DIY job or a garage affair. I have tried looking for drawings and diagrams about the rear so I could see what needs replacing but cannot find anything any help would be most welcome Cheers.

Hi Brian

If it was me and it is just the exhaust attachments that have corroded I would try a DIY fix with "bits" and epoxy to attach a replacement fixing. The images here might help: http://www.jagrepair.com/images/Electrical/XFWorkshopManual/Exhaust System.pdf

If that doesn't work, is it not possible to spot weld a new attachment bracket in place?

http://www.jagrepair.com is always useful 🙂

Good luck
