Hi Billyboy, I have just read that Ford and Peugeot are developing the Gemini engine to meet the Euro 6 requirements. In an addition to my previous post, Jaguar's new diesels in the XE are quicker than the 2.7D and the 3.0D due to the use of aluminium now used by Jaguar, giving a better power to weight ratio. So whether Jaguar will use the new Ford/Peugeot engine or manufacture their own larger diesel is yet unknown. Having been retired for almost 16 years, my contacts in the Automotive industry and the SMMT are also spending more time on their Yachts or in their gardens! Regards, Peter.

Hi Billyboy, Taunton Jaguar have a better reputation that Grange in Exeter, or so I hear. On the question of engines, the new Jaguar engine plant in Wolverhampton is currently manufacturing engines for the new XE model, and they are 2.0 litre diesel engines, and a 3.0 litre petrol engine for the R version. I think that all these engines are 4 cylinder and concentrate on fuel economy, and will obviously comply with the Euro emissions requirement. The specifications for the XJ still appears include the 3.0 litre diesel. The new model, the F Pace -- modelling on the CX17 concept car will include diesel engines. As yet, I have heard nothing about the use of the 3.0 Gemini diesel [Ford Peugeot design] in the new models, but I think I can safely assume that the new engine facility, which is concentrating on the 2.0 litre diesels at the moment might well design a larger diesel for the new XF and XJ models which will eventually be announced. Regards, Peter.
