Hi

not sure on the xf's , but theres usually somewhere under the bonnet to connect a charger

if your not using it much, I recommend a CTEK smart charger, with a convenience kit, the convenience kit allow a charging socket in the boot

you just plug in when not in use and it keeps your battery fully charged, save any problems, these cars are so sensitive to low battery voltage, it causes the modules to go in fault.

had one mine, ever since I had it, never had any problems with the car what so ever

cheers

Thanks for this suggestion Joe. I'm purchasing an XFR and the issues relating to low batteries were a concern as I don't use my car much. On my Lexus if I know it's not going anywhere I just pop a terminal off to prevent drain, but it looks as though Jaguars are very sensitive to that, so this charging solution will help!

Hi all,

My name is Richard and I'm from Cambridgeshire. I have stumbled across the facelift XFR (2013 model) in my hunt for a change of car (M4, ISF and S7 were on the list).  I have to say from what I have read, the XFR is coming out on top and I am looking to do more research on it.

Can anyone suggest a place to look in regards to a specific thread or website on the XFR? I have Googled 'XFR Buyers guides' and I have been pleasantly surprised by the lack of any real horror stories in owning one! I come from an auto V8 background so VED and fuel bills won't scare me, but knowing any expected big bills would be nice to know.

Thank you.

Rich.
