Is my car! Can you show me the grille badge?

I know what you mean about the unwanted attention! Good fun to show them a 'clean pair of heals' though!

Hi Kevin, Seems we have similar cars, but mine also has an XF badge on the left. Your new badge looks great, but not sure it would look as goon on my red ('Claret') one!

Hi Barry, I guess the easy option would be to assume that the unticked services alternated as they should have done, so counting forward you could work out which was done last time and move on from there. On the other hand, you might prefer to play safe and go for the 'biggie', Cheers, Jon

Sounds more like castor angle to me. Any recollection of going over a pothole?

Hi Tony, I don't know about the 2017 XF, but on my 2011 version, I only see the Outside temp when the 'Home' screen is displayed. No idea if that relates in anyway to a 2017 model, but might be worth a try. Cheers, Jon

Hi Colin, I reckon they're trying to apply averages to everyone, regardless of actual usage. My 2011 XF-S 3.0L has just hit 62K miles and I wouldn't expect that 'big' service to be due anytime soon. Must be worth dropping them an email explaining your actual mileage? Cheers, Jon

Brilliant! I was considering swapping to LEDs for whiter light but thought they might make the problem worse. I think I'll just go for them after reading that. Can always get the circuit board swapped later if LEDs don't cure it. Thanks for sharing that, Jon

I think you may be onto something with the heat thing! I've never had it happen at night! Hmmmm

Thanks, Ian. I would mind if it was an everyday thing, but it's completely random. Of course they can by (eventually, after a couple of touches), be switched off, so it's really just an annoyance. Cheers, Jon

Sorry if I've mentioned this before (age is a curse!), but does any other XF owner (2011-ish) have any experience of the interior light(s) above the windscreen and in the back, lighting up randomly when driving along?. In my case, it's mainly the centre light (with the back ones) and occasionally the one to the left of the centre one as well. After a few touches on the lens, it/they go off, but I simply wish they didn't light up in the first place! Any suggestions for a cure gratefully received! Thanks, Jon

Pirelli P-Zero 255/35x20 works for me! grippy, quiet and great 'feel'

I would like to suggest Arun Ltd., in Pulborough, West Sussex. Fair prices, calm and confident approach to everything. And, best of all, I had the opportunity to scrutinise the 'dirty bits' underneath my XF! Cheers, Jon

Hi again Bob, Having said all of that, your system is probably a lot more modern, so possibly none of the above applies 😞. Still maybe worth checking for a country/region option though. J

Hi Bob, Peter is right (for the XF as well). I often travel to Ireland to visit in-laws and just before boarding the ferry, I have to choose 'IRL' as the 'region' when selecting a destination. Same when returning, have to choose 'GBR' as the region. Cheers, Jon

Hi Tom & Frank, Would love to join in (first year of Jaguar ownership and all that!). Just need to check with 'the boss' to see if she's available! Will confirm asap. Cheers, Jon

Hi Trevor, Definitely interested, subject to date! Cheers, Jon

Hi M@v3ri1ck, Not sure if this would apply to a 2017 XF, but in my case (2011 XF-S) there was a musty smell from the pollen filter (replaced before collection) and a rattle from the window guides in the driver's door (also replaced or fixed). Also, a few months after I got the car, I had to replace all 4 brake discs and pads, not covered by warranty - c£950! Final thing, the previous owner had fitted £60 Chinese 'Triangle' tyres - horrible in the wet. Also replaced by nice new Pirellis for £800. MOT next month - eek! Love the XF though! Cheers, Jon

Hi Alan, This is how I learned to change one of mine (2011 XF, but can't be too dissimilar?)... https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=how+to+change+xenon+headlight+bulb+jaguar+xf&ie=&oe=#kpvalbx=0 Hope that helps. Cheers, Jon

Hi Steve, Jaguarclassicparts.com might be worth a try! Cheers, Jon

Identical! Absolutely hits all the spots!

Hey Mike! Apart from colour, we seem to have similar cars! Hope you like yours as much as I do mine! J

Looks like child labour to me! 🙂

And there's me, feeling ancient, at 63!

Thought it might be fun to have a little poll! Must declare my bias for Claret, of course! Cheers Jon
