Hi,

I was called last week by Ridgeway Jaguar to tell me that my car (2012 3.0 XF Portfolio S) was subject to a recall and that I needed to take it in (not urgent - booked it to be done in a fortnight). His approach was what you'd expect, very apologetic, fully paid for, etc.

I'm pretty sure he said it related to a crank sensor but the reason isn't listed in the follow up email he sent so I could be mistaken.

The thing is, I can't find any mention of the recall anywhere and don't see anything on the forum so I was wondering if anyone else has been contacted?

Cheers,

Al.

Thanks Frank, that's consistent with the behaviour. 

Grattik - it does, it's just that I got used to not having to worry about it. 

Thanks Gents. 

The revs are an interesting point - it idles at about 750rpm, which I have though might be a little low?

Dave, that was pretty much the point about it being the same hill - my old one didn't roll back and I'm sure this one didn't until the last couple of days. 

Have heard mention that the 8 speed box can make a difference but I'm sure something has changed.

Thanks again,

Alistair. 

Hi,

I recently changed my 2010 XF (3.0L D) for a 2012 XF-S (3.0 D). 

Really happy with the car but noticed this morning that it was rolling back when stationary on a hill. 

My previous XF didn't do this and I'm positive that the current one wasn't doing this last week (the same hill for the record). 

Have I got a problem that should be looked at?

I know it sounds obvious but I'd like some advice before going back to my dealer who will inevitably fob me off if I don't do some research first. 

Thanks.
