No such thing as a silly question Jon!!

Very strange... when you say unresponsive, do you mean it wouldn't accelerate whilst driving at speed?

I am thinking of getting my 3.0 XF sport remapped. It has just under 100k miles so is it really worth it at this age?

Cheap fixes are always the best.🤙

They actually tried to charge me for it! I have so far refused as the problem must have been theirs doing.

I had a pulley and alternator belt replaced recently on my 2010 XF 2.0 V6. I was driving along the motorway at about 68 mph for nearly 80 miles, and suddenly the Restricted Performance kicked in. 

If I switch off the engine and leave it overnight, RP does not show up again when I start the engine, but it does kick in when I am doing over 50 mph. Any Ideas?

I know the local garage had to strip a fair bit of the engine back, and I think maybe he hasn't put something back correctly?

Eventually convinced the garage to take look as they were adamant they did nothing wrong. As it transpires, they left a small pipe disconnected to the turbo. Problem solved.

Metres

I had personalised  number plates on my car with my initials CSG on. So my XF is now called `Junior` after me. 

Looking good!!
