Hi Roy,

Well,I’m 69 and now on my second XF.

First was an X250 3.0S portfolio (2011). Current one is an X260 3.0 S, loaded with options.

To choose between the two is a bit like choosing between your children! First had a better, but dated interior compared to 5e current one. But the current one is loaded with toys and is much, much more fun to drive. Haven’t tried a non sport version of either, so sorry, can’t comment on whether they’re worth it, but if you want performance and handling but with a supple ride, neither will disappoint.

so….

What colour are you going to choose??? 
Good hunting, and enjoy!

cheers,

Jon

Hi Bryn,

Mine is a Vodafone 4G SIM, it shows up as such, but I'm unsure whether it's data only or not (most likely it is!). I went with Vodafone since our phones are on Vodafone SIMs so it keeps billing simple.

Good luck!

Jon

Hi Bryn,

I also have a ‘17 XF-S and have a Vodafone SIM in its slot. What I’ve found is that it connects fine, but  after the car has been switched off for a while (wife in the shops, etc.!) it annoyingly disconnects. Could this relate to your situation?

Cheers,
Jon

If only there was an X260JSH!!!

Or X 260S JH

Or X265JSH

Ho hum!

Thanks Jim,

I'll take a look later (when the frost melts!)

Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone can suggest the source of a droning sound coming from the left rear of my 2017 XF-S 3.0D. I'm thinking it must be exhaust related since it happens at any speed and in any gear, even when stationary and gently revved. It isn't particularly annoying, but it is beginning to bug me!

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Cheers,
Jon

Hi John & Jim,

Thanks for your advice - I should have known that anyway!

It's booked-in for new (rear) pads on Thursday.

Thanks again,

Jon

Hi All,

Looking for a bit of advice, just had a message telling me that my brake pads are worn. Does anyone have an idea of how far I have left to drive before they really have to be replaced. Looking to make a trip to see in-laws before Christmas!

Cheers,

Jon

Hi Kevin,

Yes, (touching wood as I type!), no electrical problems since the battery was replaced!

Cheers!

Jon

Hi John,

If getting to Pulborough, West Sussex is possible for you, I'd recommend a chat with the people at Arun Automotive. They're an independent Jaguar specialist and have the 'proper' Jaguar code readers. Also not as expensive as a main dealer.

Good luck!

Jon

Sorry, forgot the link to the HERE download site...

Hi Gary,

I also have a 2017 XF.

We may not have the same satnav system (mine doesn't use DVDs - it's a download to PC, copy to USB and load from the USB to the car).

My subscription to Here (the map provider) via Jaguar cost £129, but that's for three years of multiple downloads covering UK, all of Europe and, bizarrely, Russia. The maps are updated regularly (at least monthly), but I probably get them once every three months or so.

Hope that's of some help.

Cheers,
Jon

Hi Paul,

I'm sure stranger things happen, but it doesn't say much for quality control. Glad you got it sorted though!

Seriously, why would you?

Just asking...!

Not sure about Ford (I'm sure I'll be corrected), but...

Hi Paul,

Happy to email it to you if you want to share your email address (I understand if you don't).

But that bolt does look a bit random. Maybe others have an opinion?

Cheers,

Jon

Hi Paul,

Here's the same area of my boot (2017 XF-S).

Not much help with your question - I'm sorry, but I tried!

However, I've always thought that Jaguar could have done a better job of hiding the "roof" of the boot in that area.

Good luck with your quest (does the bolt rattle?)

Cheers,

Jon

Hi Paul,

I have a 2017 XF.

When the sun comes up, I'll take a look at mine, to check if I have anything similar.

Cheers,

Jon
