Thanks Darren. It’s done 35k miles, 4k since 2014! cosmetically; scrapes and scuffs to bodywork mainly. think i might do well to spend some money on an independent inspection.

Thanks Bill

Hi guys, I’m looking at buying a 3 litre diesel XF (2010). It’s very low mileage (vosa checked, no mot advisories), and has no service history, the dealer says the previous owner was elderly, and lost it’s book. Cosmetically it’s a bit lacking, typical London car, but drives really nicely, all electrics work, and there’s no water in the spare wheel well. I spoke to a London based specialist (very nice chap called Paul) who said the engines are largely excellent and reliable, that the banana arms wear quickly, and that was all I remember really. I’m factoring in getting timing belt asap. I’ve never had a jag, or a diesel before. What else should I be double checking? With thanks and hoping to join the club soon, Nick
