I had an A6 before my XF and there is a world of difference. I can honestly say after the Jaguar I certainly will not be going back to Audi. Love the XF I can see me keeping it as long as I can mileage depending as I do 20-30k a year.

If it’s a good car it’s a shame to trade it. But it’s also annoying spending that much on a car you haven’t had to long but I would fix it and hope that draws a line under it. Can you get an independent to do it cheaper with a used part.

I had my Audi plugged in and had it switched so it started automatically off and I pressed the button to turn it on. I can’t do it on the Jaguar as it gets automatic updates through the connectivity.

What year car is this for if it’s still available 

I was told that it should only open slightly. So if you don’t shut it correctly and don’t latch it at all it will not bounce open. Plus at low speed the key will open the boot on mine don’t know if that’s right but a friend said the same so I tried it 😂 

At least you have a plan, and a reputable dealer

RESETTING YOUR TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT

There are a few different ways to reset the TPMS sensor that you can try before heading in for a service appointment at your local authorized service center. Test these methods out below!

• Drive at or above 50 mph to reset the sensor for 10 minutes. This can cause your sensor to reset the next time you turn on the car.
• Start with the vehicle off, then turn the key to the “On” position without starting the engine. Locate the tire pressure monitor reset button beneath the steering wheel. Hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks 3 times, then release.
• Inflate all tires to 3 PSI over the recommended amount, then deflate them completely. Once they’re all deflated, reinflate to the recommended tire pressure. If you are using a spare tire, it may have a sensor as well so be sure to do the same with that one.
• Turn the vehicle off and disconnect the positive battery cable with a wrench. Turn the car on and honk the horn for about three seconds. This will discharge any power still stored in the vehicle. Then reconnect the battery.

this is from the hand book 

I would also check they have put the correct tyre pressure 

in vehicle info tyre pressure it tells you actual and recommended mine is 3psi down and no warning lights so best get them pumped up 😂

What is Jaguar voice?

If you can get Apple play it’s definitely worth it. Don’t know when Jaguar started updating cars with it.

End of March my 'Jaguar InControl Remote' is due to be renewed? As my first Jag XF, is this product really worth having I wonder. I'm not sure I would really use it £76 for two years.  Or does it include a tracker that I seem to have read that may be valuable.  Any thoughts?

thanks, Tim    

All i can do with mine is start the car in the winter from the house, lock and unlock, check fuel, and adblue. and previous destinations. i am told the tracker is a separate system as if they pull the sim card it's all useless.

'Also they are part  of sytner group and have main Jaguar dealerships '

When I was looking for my car I viewed one at a Kia dealership. Within the group was a Jaguar dealership. It had really bad stone chips to the front bumper and bonnet that they said would be just touched in. There were a few other things wrong with it. It got me wondering if a car is not up to scratch the Jaguar dealership do not want to sell it so offload it to another dealership within the group. Is this the case with the Sytner group.

Now I am not against buying a car needing work and in fact did but at a price that enabled the work to get done and end up costing far less than the one from the Kia dealer.

However, buying for a dealer means that you have a comeback and if things are wrong and the dealer is not interested then there is always the Small Claims Court to take the matter to.

 

Yes I can’t see the dealerships passing on there best cars, I had an Audi A6 from the car shop couldn’t find one as good at a dealership and it was 3k cheaper than the Audi dealer. But like you said I didn’t get that dealer guarantee just a standard warranty they have to give but ultimately as it still had dealer warranty if you have a problem they tell you to go direct. If you get an older car the dealership normally gives good warranty.

Hi, I am. Considering purchasing an XF diesel circa year 2016 new design from a car supermarket. I have looked at Car Shop that seem to offer some good prices on cars of this age with a little higher mileage plus part exchange. This would be my first Jaguar. Can members offers any comments if this is a sensible way to purchase at an affordable price? Anybody dealt with Car Shop?  Any thoughts welcome. New 2016 models being top of my finances and guess better than late 2015/14.  I imagine a car auction when allowed and not trade only would be high risk.  Looking at 163/180 models with very low CO2 and tax. Do not expect to do more than 5-6 k per year and not motorway.  Any idea?  Just coined the club so am looking to buy summer if lock downs over.

def a low co2 model

thanks

Tim

I got my last car from the Car people now the Car shop at Sheffield. I can honestly say that it was a great deal. But the car still had one years dealer warranty so it wasn’t a risk. but I had no issues anyway and would certainly buy from them again. Also they are part  of sytner group and have main Jaguar dealerships

hi, silly question but if buying from a car supermarket I guess these are all fleet cars. Would such only have a 2 yearly service and no real idea of history? They seem to offer the best prices other than a dodgy trader. Just trying to find a reputable source to purchase with pref p,ex?

@Trooper2142 is that an issue with the ingenium engine i have just purchased a XF Checkered Flag addition 2020 model,  and it now has the Ingenium , I have done 6K since november so will expect to hit well over the 80k mark before i'm done so would be worth me keeping an eye out if its this engine.

100% if you are doing lots of miles. it makes it a lot easier to clean, and i have stone chips that haven't made it through the coating that i can polish out with no paint damage. it's not a miracle formulare as they advertise but i'm certainly happy with it. unfortunately with my car being black it only stays clean for about 30 seconds.

I had an independent do the timing belt on my Audi six months before I traded it in for the Jag and the cost was £450. So looking at the pricing from Jaguar on the list Big John posted they look fairly reasonable.

It should be tight, but I have no idea how you would tighten it.  Probably best to ask a main dealer if it something you are able to do without disturbing the head lining.

Thanks it’s still under warranty so I will get them to look at it. 

Hi I was just cleaning the car today and noticed there is a fair bit of movement side to side and up and down on this.  Is this just a plastic cover or should this be tight?

Thanks 

Tom 

Thanks @Big John & @Clive Hunt

Best giving them a call, glad you both had good things to say. I would be using Lincoln Jaguar where I got the car and very happy with there service so far so wouldn’t hurt to stay loyal.

What’s everyone’s thoughts Jaguar fixed service plan wort it or extremely expensive?

I don't really agree that 2018 Q4 latest revision is 'up to date' and nobody has ever suggested that I need a sim card for anything. I've given up on a suitable solution from Jaguar and bought a second hand, used twice Garmin fo £60. For what I use it, that will be fine.

Stay safe

Paul

Hi Paul yes Jaguar has not been very helpful as there is a 2020 update for my dads 2015 XF so can’t imagine there wouldn’t be for yours.

you can find them here. I had to download an update and put it on a memory stick for my 2020 XF as well to add latest maps

Thanks Tom,

I bought mine through approved, 2 years old, I guess the first owner kept the sim card. The dealership told me I'd need to get a sim only data contract with one of the networks to get the live updates.

Interesting about the USB, I've not seen that option on the website. Though, for now at least, the maps are up to date.

Cheers

this sim is £5 with one gig of data and then you get 200mb a month free. And can top up as required. I think 200mb is all you get with Jaguar so may be worth a look
 

Update, also had a look in my car the sim is Ubigi it says that you can get there sim from the Jaguar dealer on line. Looks like they only last 3 years. And then £98 a month afterwards. Personally probably get something like the three sim when it’s done just so I can use the car’s features.

Unfortunately Here are the official Jaguar map company. I have to use them for my updates.

I have a 2020 XF with live and I still had to use a USB stick to update the map as it was 36 bg.

the SIM card is good as I can start the car up in the morning to warm it up.  And a couple of others features but I would pay for a sim just for things I will hardly use. Don’t Jaguar do a sim connect package?

my sim was supplied by Jaguar with a 10 year package
