  1. not sure of the answer but hopefully someone will know and be along soon mate can you get codes from the ecu ok? (if there are any codes there)
  2. Welcome to the Jaguar Owners Club Kev Keep your eyes open for the Jag Tour which may run in a few months where we visit the Factory and watch XF's being built!
  3. if the pads touch the disks then they can get really hot, so when doing motorway driving they will be hot. go and take a motorway run and then stop and put your hands near the wheel hub (not on the disks) and if they glow warm then they are probably touching slightly. Or it could have done that a while back They cannot warp without the heat so I would think its all down to the calipers or pads Don't feel too disallusioned by this.. i had quite a few Lexus before and they also had the same problems which was all down to the caliper.
  4. Hi Sorry to hear of your warped disk problem. The warping is caused by over heating of the disk. Do you brake at high speeds a lot? Live on a large hill? Have you had the calipers overhauled to check the slide pins are not corroded? When the car goes in to limp mode it should set a fault code, i would go and get the fault code read from the memory and see whats causing that, maybe ABS due to the faulty calipers? Keep us updated
  5. thanks for the response, yeah i have not had the eml since and i have done some long runs since.. i try and now top up as soon as the light comes on.

  21. Hi and welcome to the club Apart from checking the past service history very thouroughly you can check the past MOT's online as ell But you will need the v5c nuber of the car or a past MOT number https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-status-vehicle From this you can check all MOT's of the car to see if it has had previous failiures and work that was needed. May give you some indication of its reliability from a structural perspective.
