Hi Tony and others

I went through the same problems over a year ago but occasionally it would work. In my case the camera worked, but I lost the yellow guide lines so I have had an aggravated year during Lockdown using only 1 tank of deisel since last October, so I just lived with the problem. However a couple of weeks ago my passenger side back door would not open from the outside, this I thought could be dangerous so I booked my car in on Tuesday 18th to my new favourite garage in Storrington West Sussex. It cost me £96.01 for the Boot Wiring Loom, the Nearside rear Door locking motor £134.38 4 hours labour £240.00 Sub total £470.39 with VAT £564.47. I am now happy again although a little poorer. Happy to share more detailed information if anone needs it. I have been told that the Door locking motors are very unreliable and some XF drivers have had to replace three motors on their cars.

Hi Jon and Graham 

I have done some more searching and it appears that it is most likely a broken wire in the loom. Not sure what that involves to get it fixed. I will make some more checks. Thank you for responding.

Kind regards

Ryszard.

Hi I have just lost the reversing camera guide lines on my 2011 XF Portfolio. Does anyone know how to reset them? I may have been something I did or, I recently let the battery go flat and it might have lost it's settings. I have looked in my manual but there is no information on how to reset them.
