Oops, I guess a pic would help!

Hi, I wonder if anyone can suggest how to repair (or who could repair) the map pocket on the back of an XF front seat? The bottom edge has come away from the main seatback. Looks simple to push back in, but no luck. I've no experience of fixing interior bits, and would really like it fixed as it's the only thing that lets the inside down. Cheers, Jon

Hi Mike. Funny thing... Many years ago I had a Ford Scorpio with a heated windscreen; it was dreadful - couldn't ignore the elements in the glass. Just got a 2011 XF and was worried about the thought of the screen with wavy lines, but don't notice them at all unless I force myself to focus on the screen rather than beyond it. They seem to be much finer than in the Ford version. Maybe you're right and it's possibly a non-standard screen. Almost looking forward to a frosty morning to see what it can do now! J

Hi All, Does anyone else have experience of the main interior and footwell lights coming on during a journey? I can turn them off by touching the main light above the mirror, but would (obviously) prefer that they don't do this! Also, just a note... Just got my XF-S a couple of weeks ago and thought it felt a bit 'sqirmy' in corners. Discovered that the previous owner had fitted £60 'Triangle' tyres! Unbelievable! So a quick trip to Kwik-Fit (pardon the dodgy pun) has got me fitted with four lovely Pirellis. Car is transformed! Cheers, Jon

Well, it finally arrived. Not many miles yet, but every one was a joy!

2011 XF 3.0D S arriving 06/10

Thanks both! Peter, Every car I've ever had seems to develop an odd squeak from the passenger seat at anything approaching the speed limit! Always goes away when driving solo though. Cheers, J

Sorry, should have mentioned, it's a 2011 XF 3.0D S Portfolio

Hi Everyone, This is a little premature as I don't collect my XF until October 6th! But I've been enjoying reading all the posts here and absorbing the enthusiasm for the XF. I always promised myself one and it had to be a red one, so I just can't wait! Just one question (probably first of many!)... Is there any way to add speed camera locations to the SatNav? I'm sure you'll all understand why! Thanks, Jon
