Hi Steve, thanks for your reply, it’s more or less what I’ve been told, as I’ve said to other people, I’m a builder and I’d never surround a copper pipe with cement because I know the consequences, so why would a massive company like jaguar choose to ignore this issue. As long as it sees the warranty out they aren’t bothered!!

Hi, my father has a 2011 XJ, owned from new FSH. A couple of months ago the rear exhaust mount dropped off his car. The exhaust mounting bracket is steel and the beam bar is aluminium. I believe this is the cause of the problem, steel and aluminium when together cause a reaction and basically the aluminium has rotted away. Jaguar uk are not remotely interested and just keep telling me it’s out of warranty which I appreciate but for me it’s the principle of what they’ve done and are not prepared to do!!! Has anyone experienced similar?? Regards
