Welcome to the Club, David. Billyboy has already given a good answer to your problem. You will find a lot of helpful members in the Club. On the question of independent Jaguar specialists you will find a topic under the forum Jaguar Owners Lounge where there isa list of recommended garages. I do know of a well thought of specialist in Northfield who is listed on that forum. Let me know how you get on. Regards, Peter.

Hi Daveallen2, In answer to your query with regards to the radio switching off after 10 mins, the XF set up will do this. Even if you switch on the ignition without starting the engine up and no radio switched on the ignition will switch itself OFF after 10 mins. This is done in order to conserve the battery power so that there is enough power in the battery to enable the XF to run through the start-up procedure before the engine is allowed to start. I have a 2013 /3.0 litre D Premium Luxury in Satellite Grey. According to myXF Handbook, on page 102 (Audio/Video Controls) it states the following.......The Audio system will switch OFF with the Ignition being switched OFF. The Radio can be switched on again with the ignition OFF but the Radio needs to be switched ON by pressing the Radio button again...THE SYSTEM CAN REMAIN ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 minutes..........Hope this is helpful to you. I love my XF but I did not like the rough ride that I got with the 18" x 245/45 tyres/wheels that were fitted when I purchased it from new. I have since had the wheels/tyres changed over to 17" x 235/55 which has resulted in a much softer ride but it is now a "jiggly" type of ride especially when going over white lines etc.........I prefer this to the teeth rattling ride I was experiencicing on our lousey roads here in Devon. Happy Motoring in your XF............William ..... (Billyboy)

Not that it's manufacturer recommended but you could try cleaning the injectors with something like Redex, it'll help reduce consumption a little. Ensure you aren't in sport mode as that'll burn extra fuel, so regular mode and easy does it on the gas peddle. If you observe your instant fuel consumption data on the dash you can monitor how your driving style is affecting things. Check how much junk you have in the boot, lighter goes further for less juice. Keep your oil topped up too, your cat will respond in kind. I suggest 'Castrol Edge Sport'. Everything is smooth and efficient on that stuff!
