  1. Hi. I had this problem recently, I just wrote about it, they charged me £450 including reprogramming!?! Then I had problems with warning messages showing on my screen which probably indicates they had not done their work correctly for which they wanted £125 to investigate. I am now using an independent Jag specialist near me for all my servicing etc now. I will not be ripped off by poor servicing and paying sky high prices. Good luck 😃👍🏼
  2. Hi, my name is Tom and at long last I bought my very own Jag. I bought it at the end of April this year - 2022. BUT it was fine except for the stop/start which stopped working after a while. I booked it into my local Jag main dealer and they had it for 2 days testing the battery etc and finally I was told the battery was faulty so a new one was needed @£450 😢 which is not covered by the Approved warranty. This includes reprogramming everything. They also carry out a "health check" on the car which showed up some corrosion - "amber advisories" and one tyre that was 64% worn while all the others were at 23% worn. This tyre was a Dunlop unlike the rest of them. 2 days later as I started the car lots of amber warning lights and messages came up, this and that not available plus ABS fault. After trying to get through to the service dept. and a promise to call me back later they eventually did the next day. I told them all this, in more detail, and I was booked in the following week. When I arrived I went through all this again and they told me it would cost £125 to find out plus any repairs etc. I told them I would not be paying anything as everything was ok before they got their hands on it plus it is still in this rubbish warranty of theirs "just like a new car". I was told if it turns out it was their fault and if it is included in the warranty then there would be no fee. I told them I would take my car elsewhere to be looked at. I'm going to an independent specialist Jag garage in Norwich and they will check everything for me plus carry out an oil and filter change as I have no confidence in official Jaguar dealers now, well 2 of them. Has anyone else had problems with Approved Jaguars? An update - I filled the car with diesal and all the warning lights and messages disappeared.
  3. Hi. I am looking at both, better mpg and smoother performance especially at the low end.
  4. Hi, I'm Thomas a new Jaguar owner at long last! I would like to know if anyone has had a stage 1 remap to a 2016 xf 2.0 diesel portfolio. What were the results in performance and fuel economy? Do you recommend any particular company? Does Jaguar offer this service? Thank you in advance 😃
