Hi Sean....welcome to the Forum

It sounds like they didn't recheck the level and top it up after changing the filter, when the level will drop by the quantity consumed by the new filter when the engine is run once refilled with fresh Oil.

Changing the engine Oil in the interim is a great way to prolong the life of the engine. As you say, you can always take it back for the services and the Oil filter change 🙂
I would however always use a quality engine oil with the correct ACEA specification which will more than likely be the same as the Jaguar supplied oil .

Quality brands are Castrol, Mobil, Petronas and some others. Try this company for accurate specification engine oils and keen prices (discount through the club as a Premium Member) https://www.opieoils.co.uk/

Hi Lucian....welcome to the Forum

Plenty of information within the forums especially on servicing the XF, best to use the search facility on the top right corner of your screen

Good to have you onboard

I suppose you could use some adhesive but they should just click into the hole unless they are not fitting correctly (wrong sides possibly)?

Hi Steve

If it is losing boost pressure then you will definitely hear it hissing and blowing.
The hoses should swell when the revs are raised enough to create boost pressure from the turbocharger.

Other areas to investigate would be the EGR being removed and the Engine Management in limp home mode. This could be rectified by refitting the EGR and using a blanking plate (with small hole in the middle) which still allows the system to recognise an EGR and run normally (albeit with no functioning EGR to block up).

Hi Penny....welcome to the Forum

Sometimes its easier to follow the path of least resistance and in this case if you are considering upgrading your phone then maybe this is the easiest way forward.

Hi Carl

I'm not personally sure about whether or not they will fit but if you have both heads there it would be a case of taking measurements of all passageways, heights, valve lift, etc which will take time but at least you would be certain that nothing untoward would occur by swapping the heads.

Would be interested to know how you get on with this

Thanks for the update John....it's also very useful to know the belt part number to bypass the A/C

I've used black shoe polish in the past for any discoloured areas in the leather, just make sure you polish it all out and finish it off with a soft rag to ensure there is no residue left on the seats

Hi John....welcome to the Club

Yes, it definitely sounds like the heater resistor pack has gone faulty.

Not entirely sure where it is located but generally it is in very close proximity of the blower fan assembly.

Try checking in and around the glovebox area first

Does it seem to relate to not working when it is wet or exceptionally cold temperatures?

Hi Scott....welcome to the Club

If it is not heating then it is more than likely the seat base element that is faulty (broken pad element)

You should be able to remove the seat and examine the element and wiring from the underside and if broken then it may be visible or use a multimeter to check continuity of the connections.

Hi Eric.....welcome to the Club

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with the E-PACE, have heard a few bad things about them, could probably be considered to be teething problems with the new tech but hopefully later editions should have ironed out the issues.

Hope the new one is a much improved model and that you can thoroughly enjoy owning and driving it

Very much agree with this sentiment....As Frank has already mentioned, many thanks for all the valuable assistance you give to the Club members

Happy New Year Joe 😋

Hi Nigel.....welcome to the Forum

If you give them your XKR and £7.5k you will end up with 650bhp....sounds reasonable to me.
Not sure what the mods are or indeed what the quality of workmanship is like so I would probably refer you to Google to carry out some research on the company, customer reviews, etc.

Let us know if you go this route as would love to see how it looks (and goes!)

Cheers,  Trevor

Hi Roger

We are looking to attend more events this year and it could be a possibility that Silverstone Classic could be one of them...depending on numbers of course.

Let's see who responds to this post to gauge interest in attending this superb event (I have been before and can highly recommend it)

Hi John....welcome to the Club

A fine collection of Jags over the years

Hi Brian....welcome to the Club

Plenty of info on here, probably best to just cruise through the S-Type section of the forum and read as much as poss to get a good idea of the highs and lows of the model.
Usually, there is a recurring theme of a particular fault and hopefully the answers will also be there.

Merry Christmas to you as well 🙂

Hi Roger.....welcome to the Club

I have moved this post to the S-Type section of the forum as you will more than likely get a response from a fellow S-Type owner in that section.

Cheers,  Trevor

Hi Oliver....welcome to the Club

It sounds like it is the main battery charge memory.....e.g, you have replaced the battery but the electronic memory is still reading as low.
You will need to reset the vehicle electronic memory to accept the new battery voltage (believe there is some info on how to do this on here).

This should at least get it to turn over.
If it does not start from there then this may be the reason it has not been running for a period of time

Let us know how it all goes

Hi Pete...welcome to the Club

Hope all goes to plan

Hi Ray.....welcome to the Club

It's never too late to become a Jaguar driver and the XF is a fine machine to own

Hi Henry....welcome to the Club

Looks absolutely regal in that colour and interior really compliments the exterior

Hi Tony....welcome to the Club

I'm sure there will be plenty of add on accessories on the market as soon as they are available (e.g. side steps, etc)
