I have had the same problem with my 2012 Premium.  I bought it second hand in December 15 with 27k on it but it is obviously outside of its warranty.   My rear NS indicator with flash rapidly on the dash and if you look at it from the outside then it will be flashing rapidly and eventually stop.  Once the fault occurs it will remain for the length of your journey but if you leave the car for a few hours then the fault will dissappear, sometimes for a few days, sometime for a few weeks.  

I am going to take the unit off today at some point (weather permitting) and try to clean the contacts to see if that is the cause.  Dint really want to be spending the money for a whole new unit.

Hi , can you let me know the outcome of what happened as I am now experiencing that exact same issue in my Jaguar xf s luxury premium 2013, did you need to replace the whole tail light unit as this is what I have been told as you apparently can't buy indicator bulbs..

Thank you for your quick reply John.

I shall definitely try this and will report back if it fixes these issue.

Appreciate it.

Possibly battery low on charge problems. Is quite common for Jaguars to have low battery charge problems showing up. Usual advice on this forum is to invest in a CTEK Re-conditioner/ Charger (other makes are available, as the media would say) and use it very regularly and for extended time to make certain battery is always in good condition and well charged.

This should be the start place and if that does not cure the problems, then read the codes that may have been generated, and see if there is relevant information stored there.

Hi guys, been having technical issues with my 2013 xf s model and hoping to find an answer on here how to solve them.

So 1st up... my wing mirrors will not fold back in on themselves , I can manually fold them by holding down both left and right buttons and have my settings as "on" but I would like for them to fold after I have exited and locked my car.

2nd is when I go to unlock my car there are times when only the drivers door will unlock,  I have to reach over to unlock the passenger door  or rear doors, it's happens sometimes then sometimes they all open, it's strange how it works one time then not on another time..

3rd is my near side rear indicator blinks sometimes then it stops all together and won't signal when I'm driving, all other indicators work fine. Any advice? 

The one thing I can add is that these issues are all electronic so do I have a major problem that needs to be fixed at a garage or is it something else that I can maybe fix on my own..

Thanks in advance for any advice as I'm pretty clueless.

Common problem when temp outside is zero or below. Got some grease to put on the joints but not done it yet.

Will try this idea thanks Tomato 👍

Hi John, thank you for your welcome, I have downloaded the above pdf and will try and see if it helps, appreciate your help 👍

Hi guys, Newbie here with a problem with my 2013 xf s. Not too long ago I was about to enter my car but due to severe cold and snowy circumstances my drivers side door handle was stuck, I defrosted as much as I could and tried pulling on the handle to see if it would open for me but I may have used too much force and the handle pull towards me but the door didn't open up.

All the other doors where fine and could open it was just my drivers side door that couldn't open, from inside the car I can open and close the drivers door and my cars security is fine l, the only issue I have now is that I can't open the drivers door at all from the outside.

Can anyone advice me on what I may have done wrong? What does it need to get it working again and how much roughly the cost will be..

Ps, Ford dealer wants £85 just to do a diagnostic check on my car before even looking at what is causing the door handle to stay locked.

Thanks in advance for advice..
