Anyone else struggling to read posts with the nice car picture on the right hand side, its new and annoying 🙄

2016 is the newer version with the j front lights and wiggle ones at the rear. 

They don't make the v8 petrols anymore which is a shame, but a diesel with that mileage should be fine if it has service history. The 3litre engine unlikely to be under much stress.

What model?

Assume you checked the fuses, worth checking if you have not. Controllers are expensive, would be surprised for the age if it has gone already. Dont know much about they are wired sorry.

These car are usually fairly good, I would want to see a proper service history, hard to  put the engine under any real stress unless its been on a track.

Mileage seems high but think the engines go forever.

Check all the electrics and all moving bit like events working properly.

Water pumps are crap worth checking when/if its been changed. No good aftermarket options yet.

Guessing it the little lights inside when it gets dark, there are some on the doors. Guessing as dont know but would makes sense as it like the lights in the theatre/cinema. 

Never heard of a cooled steering wheel. The cooled seats are great just put you hands there one at a time 🙂

Yes sorry the pics you are looking at and the handbook page

Sounds like a scam becareful 

Hopefully, keep us posted

I would replace like for like, if you put in an xfr engine need to change a lot more than the engine.

Sounds steep for the part, if removing the bumper is really need understand labour cost, but seems a little excessive to me.

Any Jaguar specialist near you?

Have you got a pic?

Blog on the XFR-S including video of clarkson view on the XFR then video of the XFR vs the XFR-S, worth a read/watch

I think the mic is with the door lights in the roof of the car, worth checking nothing has come loose, be surprised if an electronic gremlin.

The actual cases are about £10 from the main dealer, it just whether the electronic element damaged or not. May just take in your bits in to a dealer and see if can sort?

Ouch, that is a hit, do the garage know what caused it?

See the rear of the car at the top of the thread, not these ones, the newer shape ones look like a w or a heart beat at night 🙂 will find a picture if you dont know what I mean.

Hopefully it some sensor fault, the fact you can get it out of limp mode suggests something is intermittent than something more serious.

I would say get a v6 variant, the facelift with this front light style one or with the wiggles lights at the back?

Looking good 👍

I dont think anything major breaks if it does give on the XFR, could be wrong but its not an engine destroyer but I could be wrong.

Have them on my XF, they are standard on some models I assumed.

There are some good stereo systems on offer as standard, I have 825watts and 17 speakers as a standard offering, great sounding system.

They are great cars, I have a petrol variant with a V8 lump.

At the 8k price range lots of choice, more toys can mean more expense if they go wrong. As a rule of thumb if these cars have been serviced regularly they are usually fairly reliable, be wary of any crash damage like any car and if going for a diesel, suggest using the dvla service to see annual mileage, they do need to be driven.
