Hi Paul, Absolutely! Cheers, Jon

Hi Robert, It passed! Good luck with your issues!

Hi Paul, I shared the same dream - just took me a bit longer to get there! (I'm now 64). After decades of company cars, I eventually threw in the towel a couple of years ago, returned the Mercedes and bought my first car in 37 years, a 2011 XF-S Portfolio. It has cost me a bit - tyres (255/35x20 Pirellis don't come cheap! and some fixes along the way, but none of that dims the silly grin when I drive it! Enjoy yours! Cheers, Jon

By the way, I see you're in Surrey (I'm in West Sussex). If it's not too much of a trek, I'd recommend Arun Jaguar in Pulborough, have a chat with Andrew (service manager), very helpful! https://www.arunltd.com/ Cheers, Jon

Hi Paul, There seems to be a rash of similar issues to yours (and mine!) over the last few days. My car is a 2011 XF-S Portfolio. Initial issue was the red restricted performance, and a gentle hissing sound when (trying to) accelerate. First attempt at a cure was to replace the turbo transfer valve, which was seized, obviously needed fixing, but that didn't cure the main problem. Eventual fix was to replace the inlet manifold cover and associated bits - quite expensive at about £1300, but totally transformed the car! That was also finished off with a DPF regen (included in the £1300!). Car now runs sweet as a nut. Now have an MOT booked for today (fingers crossed!). Best of luck - let us know how it goes! Cheers, Jon

Hi Jim, Try here: https://www.latestsatnav.co.uk/jaguar-7-c.asp Worked perfectly in my '11 XF-S, costs about £30 Cheers, Jon

Hi Marcus, I have a 2011 XF-S, I assume your -R is similar in terms of SatNav (disc drive in the left of the boot). Assuming it has the drive, you can get updated discs from here... Latest Sat Nav - 2019-20 Sat Nav Disc Update & Navigation Maps url I've bought from them several times, always a great service. Cheers, Jon

Sorry, forgot to mention... Crossover valve took a couple of hours or so, Manifold Induction kit took about a day & a half. J

Hi Robert Replacing the crossover valve was £247.60, incl. parts & labour. The Manifold Induction kit was £1331.83, parts & labour (ouch!). But, hey-ho, it's a lovely drive! Cheers, Jon

Gin!!!

Hi Robert, I've just been through an almost identical experience with my 2011 XF-S. I don't have a code reader, so can't confirm the exact codes involved, but the effect was similar to what you describe. End result was a new turbo valve, followed by a new cam cover and gasket set, all fitted by my local(ish) independent dealer. Now runs better than ever! MOT on Monday though - eek! Good luck! Jon

HI, Does anyone on here have any experience of a company called WarrantyWise, offering to pay for repairs (up to about £5000 a claim) for a monthly premium - £58 per month according to the quote I have? Haven't gone for it yet (wish I had, currently getting replacement turbo valve, cam cover, etc., and a DPF regen!) Basically, is it worth it? Cheers, Jon
