Onother Jaguar
Thanks Leo I'm the same I love my XF and as been a very good car but if I don't swap now I never will and to be honest with them fetching the latest XF out mine is soon going to drop in price so I think now is the right time for it to go. I am looking forward to the XKR the sound of the V8 is awesome I will probably be the same as you turn the radio off. Thanks again.

Onother Jaguar
I currently drive a XF 3.0 DS which is my second XF I have owned this for about 3 years been looking over the last 12months at the XK models mostly convertible but out of my price range for what I want so I have opted for a coupe which I pick up next week. The model is a 2007 XKR portfolio 2007 in black with cream interior and metal finish dashboard just what I wanted, the sound of the car is owesome and my first petrol car in about 12 years what are current owners views on the XKR.

Boot open display
Hi Dave, If you remove the black plastic cap next to the LHS of the boot button you will find a lock for the boot. Remove your key from the fob and this allows you to open the boot.

Boot
As anyone fitted the boot loom on a Jaguar XF 3.0 DS. The boot release button on the car and the fob don't work spoke to local Jag dealership say that loom as failed common fault these are £75 + vat and £80 + vat to fit trying to save some money in fitting myself is it a simple job.

Advice on which engine please!
My first XF was the 2.7 yes plenty of power 204 BHP but a bit of a flat spot before it got going but drove very well end of the day its a Jaguar. I now have the 3.0 D S at 275 BHP lot smoother and responsive engine and same as one of the other comments cruises all day on the motorway but when you open it up its a animal. On experience I would go for the 3.0 either the std 240 BHP or the S model at 275 you will not be disappointed.

What maintenance costs to consider whern buying 3.0 Diesel
Hi mate, I have got the 3.0 D S premium luxury mine is a 2010 and has 71500 on the clock I have owned the car coming up to three year regarding the maintenance costs brake pads and tyres general wear and tear otherwise ok touch wood. My car runs sweet as a nut still returning 40+ to gallon on a run and the power delivery still as strong as ever and I agree with a previous comment check for blisters on the paint work on the boot just under the chrome trim mine as just started. Good luck in finding what you want
