Incorrect diesel exhaust fluid quality detected no engine restarts in xx miles
Is that the ad blue message? If so, just keep topping it up, it does go away, apparently some ad blue qualities are different and Jags dont like some varieties.

2016 jaguar XF auto start/stop problems
Its the secondary battery that runs the stop start I think. Takes a while I also think to charge the thing.

Update my Sat nav in XF 2012
My old XE stored information on a hard drive. Had to update via a USB stick through the console, maybe similar.

XF battery reporting low voltage
There are some of those solar panel trickles that do have auto cut off, bit more pricy but worth it potentially.

You don't know what you've got until it's gone
I had to get a vauxhall astra estate taking one for the family a few years back, to be fair it was actually a ok car, could not fault it, did the a job, but at the same time could not say anything great about it 😁

Audi don't have much character, they are nice cars but too clinical, the s and rs versions just boring to drive 😴 If you have a diesel I believe with motorway mileage they go forever 😀

Washed key fob
I did laugh sorry at the blame part😞 the rice trick is a good suggestion, may take a few days, will probably depend on the detergent and if any is left behind on the circuit

Petrol in diesel
I think that is correct Pault, also petrol burns at a higher temperature so certain components can deteriorate faster. Hopefully not too much damage. Never understood why you can put petrol in a diesel but hoses designed to stop diesel in petrol which I think causes less issues.

They are really good cars, pain when they go wrong occasionally, but hey most of us on here seem to have the mark 1, they dont go as wrong as some others of same age.

Hearing Noises
In which case, turn your music up or get a growling aftermarket exhaust to distract you 🤔

Hearing Noises
Could be tyres, did you change brand, although weird if it stops after set speed!

Diesel type
Using standard petrol is ok, do use premium fuel though as a rule. You can get some stuff call redex (think that is the name) you add it in when you fuel your car if using standard fuel, does the same job as premium fuel.

Well i got that very wrong 🤣

InControl Pro and Sky Mobile
Not sure but my xe could only handle 3g and was pretty rubbish. Was a 16 plate, maybe better in 2018?
- Ad Blue Incorrect quality message

Advice Needed
Others can jump in here, but 272bhp is a v6 3litre engine, the other two from this year are 2.2 liters from memory. If you put your reg into the dvla site it should tell you the displacement.

Small problems
Hopefully they did not damage you door too! Notice the gear knob gets hot after a more spirited drive, but never the gear lever?
-
My new XF
I find if you buy them, they don't get used and you have the added hassle of storing as they do take a chunk of space. Don't think these cars handle too badly with the pzero in the snow, had to drive to the hospital about 6 miles away, was good fun and in control most of the way, thats with a v8 version! 😄

Restricted performance when accelerating - intermittent (back again)
Service light has not been reset properly if it been serviced 2500 miles or it does trigger every 12 months if set that way as I discovered recently 😀

Glove Box
