Brake light switch? I just mention it at as it sounds like the same behaviour as pressing the start button without pressing the brake pedal. Tim

Cheers, I've found a few on eBay but it looks like it's possible to get a whole remote for not a lot more elsewhere on the net. Maybe I need to research how to chrome plate plastic? ;-) Tim

I bought a very nice used XF the other week and one of the few niggles is that the chrome plating on the key fob is peeling badly. Is it possible to get a replacement case? The electronics are fine and I'm assuming it would be easy enough to swap over the internals. Anyone done this?

2010 3.0 V6 diesel 237bhp On a few occasions (but not every time) if I stop and restart my engine after a couple of minutes (after refuelling say) the engine will "hunt" on idle with the revs surging between 500 and 1200 or so. If I put it into drive it continues to surge but once I drive off it seems to clear and won't re-occur when I just stop the car. Stopping the engine though sometimes will re-create the problem on restart. Idle control mechanism or some other known problem?
