Excuse the bad pictures, had the Jag “de chromed” the weekend and I have to say it looks a lot better. Rear window tints next to finish off the look. 

Has anyone got pictures of their XF with rear 20% tints so I could have a look? 

Got a picture?? 

Does this help mate 

Hi mike,

I recently had my break pads done, I went for the MTEC sport pads for the front and MINTEX for the rear. I would never go to Jaguar direct because they rip you off in labour costs.

I paid £65 for the front and rear set and when I went to my local garage ‘Jag care Portsmouth’ I only needed the front pads replacing. They charged me £55 to fit the front pads and they even fixed a dodgy break sensor wire for free. 

Hope this helps your decision. Really happy with MTEC but saying that you can’t go wrong with BREMBO

Hi mike, I got them from AliExpress. They are really nice badges and not too big

Newest addition to the Jag, I feel like the XF needed a foot rest and this particular one was hand made and purchased of eBay. Quality is great, if anyone is interested I can send the link 

 What are people’s thoughts on these badges, thought the interior lacked the S stamp that it needs. 

Feedback would be appreciated 

Hi Martin,

thanks I personally think it’s the best colour combination, it’s stunning to look at every angle and i occasionally have to remind myself I’ve got my dream car I’ve always wanted. 

Cant go wrong with AWD in the snow, I’ve always liked the X-type. I wouldn’t risk mine, it stayed at home for a few days waiting for snow to melt haha.

thats great thanks I will have a look at the fuse box the weekend and failing that I might nip into a jag garage and ask them.

My new Jaguar XF S PORTFOLIO V6 🚗🚗 

absolutely love this car. 

Having some issues with the central locking system sometimes the door mirrors fold in when locked and sometimes they don’t?? Anyone experienced this? 

Hi David, 

I have got the XF S PORTFOLIO V6 diesel 2012 facelift model and it’s the best car I’ve driven, I was deciding to go for the 5.0 V8 or the diesel and I can honestly say I’m really impressed with the diesel.

 I am new to Jaguar and I can honestly say I’m never going back. I get around 39mpg and tbh I’m still having fun with the car. Makes me smile every time I start the engine. When I’m sport mode you wouldn’t even think it’s a diesel it sounds like a petrol. 0-60 5.9seconds! That’s unbelievable for a diesel. 

You will not be disappointed trust me. 

Regards 

Gary
