You say you are not keen on stop / start Julie. You can switch it off semi_permanently by disconnecting the negative terminal on the small battery. Re-connecting instantly restores the function. Tape the wire after disconnection of course, and fix it securely so it doesn't rattle.
Personally, now I've taken the time to get used to it, I leave it connected, buy know what a pain it can be.

My present XF is on 78000 and is running like a dream (3.0 V6)
My previous XF was on 158000 and was running perfectly when I sold it. (3.0 V6)
These cars need care and attention and will repay you in reliability. Don't maintain them and you'll pay through the nose.
2016 @ 86K sounds like a motorway cruiser so all should be well if you get proof of regualr servicing in my view.

There are times when a black car looks good 🙂

Thanks Darren 🙂

I've just been going through my "As built" list and came across "Theater Lighting". Can anybody tell me what this is please?
-
Not that I'm aware of.

Thanks Trevor

The towbar on my XF is for sale... but you'd have to remove it yourself. Anybody interested? £50

Well, thanks to the unstinting help and patience of Reg Graham, I now have heated steering wheel and voice on L10.
Nice and toasty and now a bit of a learning curve to make best advantage of the improved voice control in the facelift
-
All set to code the Voice and heated steering wheel using SDD.
However, my new chariot doesn't appear to have an as-built CCF at Topix. It doesn't recognise the VIN number. Same problem for VIN decoder sites etc. However, VIN is recognised by DVLA and by SDD as being correct.
Any idea what's going on anybody?
Luckily, Reg Graham is going to produce one from the specification of my car.

Thank you all

The "S" badge on my bootlid looks decidedly past its best. I've bought an OEM replacement so it's clear the badge is held on by adhesive and not bolted through.
How can I remove the old badge without causing damage please. Being a black car it will show the slightest mark.
Thanks.

Your question was answered in your other post.

Hi could you please expalin the procedure.
Please be aware that modifying your CCF can render your car immobilized. Therefore the information provided is to be used at your own risk. All I am doing is telling you what I did to my car.
Assuming yours is a facelift X250, search the CCF for "Voice Control" and open the parameters. Choose "Advanced Voice Control" and save the CCF then upload it to your car.
Let us know how you get on 🙂

OK, will accept £50 but buyers collects or pays postage.

Exactly the same as these:-
I never got a chance to fit them before I bought a newer XF so brand new and HALF PRICE £85.00
AND you don't have to wait five weeks for delivery 😉

Thanks Joe.

My practise is to replace the battery when I buy a car.
My XF is stop / start and has a AGM battery fitted as the main battery.
I've been offered a calcium replacement battery, being told they are "better" than AGM.
Does anybody know the difference please?

Voice control of certain functions to do with phone, Nav, audio.

I'm not going to rush in to buying one. Instead keep trawling Autotrader until I find the right one.
That was almost as much fun as actually buying one Dave 🙂 I got exactly the one I wanted and had a great time going through the likely candidates. The only thing it didn't have was Jaguar Voice but that is a matter of 10 minutes to sort out 😉

Just changed mine from a V 6 petrol to a V6 facelift diesel sport (275 BHP) and by god does she go 🙂 Lots of horror stories about DPF and EGR but I find with regular servicing and once a week foot down I never had any problems with my diesel S-Type which I had for several years. Portfolio spec is the one to go for if you like luxury and toys 😉

Reported this morning at 10:00 that I'd misplaced one of my keys. Not immobilised because I have the second key. Even so, a brand new one will be programmed for me tomorrow morning at my home. No excess, no charge.
That's what I call service 🙂

Good point Paul 🙂
