Bought a 65 plate XF Diesel Portfolio 5 months ago and after 3 months it developed a whining noise followed by an oil level warning. Very long story but after booking it into one garage who couldn't find any problems and subsequently calling a specialist garage who hadn't heard of anything similar to the description, I ended up in restricted mode, breaking down and being flat bedded home. Managed to get booked into specialist garage, they replaced turbo and EGR valve but say it needs a new engine block which are apparently very thin on the ground.
I can't afford a new engine block, can anyone offer any advice please?
