Thanks, much appreciated. I've probably got a hundred more questions yet, I do a lot of research when I buy a car as I'm not one for changing them regularly. 

Seems odd that a car marketed at this level would place folding mirrors as an option. I've never understood that a manufacturer fighting for a piece of a very competitive market would not throw in everything they possibly could, and at least the main things that buyers might expect, and they surely can't cost very much to fit them at the factory, say £50 or so? Even if they add the £50 on to the price. It's important to me as I live on a narrow lane and have no driveway, and the guy opposite has a large van, not leaving much room for traffic to get past and I've had the mirrors hit a few times. For the sake of 300 quid I'd have paid it anyway if buying new (though I'd never buy new, way too much depreciation, taxes and in most people's cases, loan fees so I've never really understood why people do that), but hopefully a lot of buyers will have paid for the option. It would be interesting to know if they can be retro-fitted, if the wiring's there.

I know from the reviews some say the same about the folding rear seats, especially if your load space isn't best in class. I know it's not something that would bother most people, but my wife has an electric bike and needs rescuing from time to time due to the occasional punture. I currently have a Volvo S60 and the bike fits (just) with the rear seats folded. These were standard on the model I have - and it's 19 years old! 

The CD player isn't a deal breaker and I can have one retro fitted I'm sure if necessary. I have Spotify anyway. The ones I saw in a couple of video reviews (but never mentioned in the videos), the slot was on the long black strip between the two temperature displays, above the heating controls. 

The folding mirrors were standard on my latest HSE so I guess they now realise the popularity.  Folding rear seat was still an option though.

I'm in the same situation, will be buying used (probably a 2017 or 18 model, petrol, 250HP hopefully) but there are a few things I can't fathom that some models seem to have and some don't, in partcular, folding mirrors and folding rear seats. 

Also I've seen a few videos, just a few, that have a CD player slot above the heating controls, but none of the models list it in the spec so I'm a little confused - some of us do still use CDs and I have a collections of 1000s. 

For the 2017 model the split rear seat was a £420 option and the powerfold mirrors was a £295 option.  I cannot remember a CD player slot in mine (I have a 2020 model now).

There is a known bug in this release...  No turn by turn sound when using Apple CarPlay navigation.  From another site:

After installing this update I have lost all sound to my CarPlay navigation turn by turn instructions (it's not the volume). All music apps work with sound, Waze, TomTom, Apple Maps, Google maps have all lost sound. 

This is a known problem and JLR have issued a bulletin about it on TOPIx. It's SSM75415 - InControl Touch Pro - Post 21A Update Apple Carplay Navigation Voice Guidance Not Heard

An interesting question - my 2017 R-Sport P250 had them as a standard feature but my newer HSE purchased in 2019 did not.  Unsure whether they were a chargeable option then but they are now a £200 option across the range.

Updated my XE InControl software today to version S21A_21.10.6-676616

I understand that this fixes the repeated need to log in to the navigation but can't confirm this yet as it will take a few drives.

For info I found this on the web...

Change to any sim of your choosing - cheapest for UK is to buy a "3" data sim from amazon - "Internet with legs".  Depending upon the amount of data that you buy some are valid for two years from activation date - thats what I do 😉

e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Three-Mobile-Pay-Broadband-Data-Black/dp/B01M3VJ2B2/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=internet+with+legs&qid=1600429941&sr=8-1

Far cheaper than Ubigi

On mine its under settings/all settings/connectivity

On both of mine the SIM card holder has been at the rear of the central storage compartment between the front seats.  Open the lid and you will see a SIM slot plus either one or two USB sockets

Reduced to £250 - any sensible offer considered

ANY sensible offer accepted on these ...

Price reduced to £300 on 25th August 😉

I originally purchased these for my XF a few years ago but rarely used them so looking to clear space in the garage.

Wheels complete with tyres, TPMS valves, locking wheel nuts, wheel covers and stand - COMPLETE.

Very little use of tyres - see from pictures - looking for £250 for the lot (or any sensible near offer) - buyer to collect from Redditch.

REVISED TO £250 on 11th October

245/45R18 100V W651 Snow masters

Picked up today after coming back from my annual holiday 🙂

New car ordered to replace existing 2017 MY

Narvik Black HSE 2.0 250PS

Ordered in April - current delivery is July

It is average speed - the manual states: The distance, average speed, and average fuel economy values for Trip A and Trip B can be reset. Set the trip computer display to show the required trip to reset. Press and hold the trip button until the instrument panel displays the Resettingmessage

Is the car connected to wifi or via the internal SIM?  I guess it needs a connection to the outside world to log into your Jaguar account

Isn't that the average speed since the last reset?

From another forum:

"If the security systems detect a fault with one of the security sensors, 2 error tones will sound from the alarm after the vehicle is unlocked and disarmed"

It goes on to suggest that if you disconnect and reconnect the battery it resets the system and the beep disappears 🙂 

Hi Chris

 

I have emailed you mate... this will be sorted, you just need to send me your postal address as this was not provided ;)

Email replied to with postal address - thanks!

What is frustrating is that I won a premium membership in a draw and have received nothing several months later.  I wasn't aware that a pack was sent to premium members until I saw responses to this post.

So not happy :(

How do you apply for the Halfords discount card?  I can display the discount but there is no link to apply for the card...

I was awarded premium membership when I won a draw but I have never been sent a welcome pack or anything :(

I received an email tonight from Toyota Owners Club!

I have never owned one or signed up for club membership and yet it was a notification of a new premium members discount - just like the ones from this club.

I clicked on the link just incase the email title was incorrect but it took me to the Toyota Owners Club site!!!

The email came from the same team that manage ours - Auto Clubs International Ltd

I wonder if they have got their lists mixed up :(

One for the admin team to sort I think.
