Peter, Jon & other members posting about xf dpf difficulties, Thanks for the welcome, the advice & encouragement. I will get the named additives the forum suggests may help & try to move to the best fuel & follow the journey instruction but this time on a proper motorway without regular traffic lights. Hopefully, in due course, I can confirm positively that all is well. The XF is not part of the inner family yet. It may well be a much better car than the jags we had which are, fondly recalled, rightly or wrongly? Not a stranger to jags. From 1957, I have driven but not owned an xk120, mk 5,6 & 9. Then 1960 to 1970 we owned 2.4, 3.4, Original S type, mk10, then an e type. No jags then for years till mid 90's when we started with jags again getting 2 xj 6, then 3 xj8 Lwb, one after the other every few years, all mistral blue and, no one seemed to realise the reg no kept changing. Had an x type at the same tume as the last 2 xj8's which I liked a lot but, my wife would not sit in at any time. That left the family in 2018. I thought Jag did a great job of squeezing a big car shape into a Small car and still keep some lines. Favourites, the Mk9 & the most recent XJ8 which had a gas conversion. So exciting visiting a fuel stop, it was like getting something free from the government. I liked what I had so much that I used to look at all big jags after 93 and say, never! The Mk 9's & the XJ8's both had a line. The XJ8 is sadly missed by us both. The degree of comfort is not in an Xf I only had the Xf since 10/19, not been on a motorway & only filled the tank 3 times. Only doing 2 town miles per day & 12 each Sat & Sun. Not surprising I have problems, I can hear everyone's thoughts. Would I like to go back to any old favourite? Probably I would miss the gadgets so, No. But I would still like to keep saying the previous cars were better! Finally, I would like to make mention that I have a couple of ELN 327, a cable one and a cordless one, wifi I think. I have several freebie software apps & one full version which I used to subscribe to but let it lapse as I had no time to play. I could go for a new app suitable to manage an xf if anyone has already suggested one on the forum. Hoping to be a regular reader. Thanks again, Vincent
