Hi Edward, welcome to the Forum, my advice re your first Jaguar would be - Enjoy It!! Please share some photos when you get it

Hi Adam, that Terraclean might be a good idea, low usage isn't great for these engines, I do less than 10 miles a day now in mine and that gives me about 20-22mpg, I am going on a 'long-run' on Sunday to Gatwick, I will see what it does on that run and report back. With the low mileage the DPF warning light comes on and I have to take it for a 'burn-up' to clear it, but with over 180,000 on the clock it does well :-)

Hi Brandon, as Woodsy says the 2.7 V6 Diesel engine is great - I have a 2008 XF with the 2.7 V6 Diesel engine and it has now 184,000 miles on the clock and still gives me 48mpg on a long run, so if it has a good service history and you check the MOT history as O.T.H recommends you won't go wrong! Good Luck!

Good Luck Bryan!

Hi Joe The weather certainly held out for us at the JDC show yesterday, it was so hot with a good turn out too, I will post a few photos in the Members Gallery, but here's one of my wife at our stall and our XF too! Regards Kevan

Hi Gary, I gave up on Main Dealers years ago and now always use E&E Services (Jaguar Specialist) 38 Tanners Drive, Blakelands, Milton Keynes MK14 5BW, Dave & Mark are Jaguar Trained Technicians and do a great job - with a free Jaguar loan car and reasonable rates too! - Give them a call on 01908 218875. Regards Kevan

Hi Guys, the X Type never had a factory fitted Leaper Badge so I think it must have been an addition by the previous owner, to remove sticky badge residue I have normally started by heating it slightly with a hair dryer and gently picking/peeling it off, followed by using T-Cut. Personally I wouldn't remove badges that were meant to be there unless they needed replacing with like for like, but in the past I have had new cars that came with the boot badges etc in the glove box giving the owner the choice of having them on or not - I put them on!

Looks like a great event Joe, let's keep our fingers crossed for the weather!

Many Thanks Roger!

Hi, I'll be going to this Jaguar & Classic Car Show tomorrow in Hertfordshire hosted by the JDC, It's normally a good day with usually 100 cars attending, mainly Jaguars, everyone is welcome, so come if you can - the weather is predicted to be good! Regards Kevan

Hi, My XF Premium Luxury had Privacy Glass as an option when new - I really love it, it offers great privacy in the back and keeps it cooler in the summer, in my opinion it's well worth having it done! Regards Kevan

Many Thanks Paul!

Hi Dino My 2.7 Diesel Premium Luxury come with rear privacy glass as an option and I really like it, it doesn't effect visibility or the auto dimming mirrors and gives great privacy (if needed) and keeps the car cooler in the hot sunny weather. Regards Kevan

Hi Peter, I'm not sure which Forum to add my website to, can you please confirm which one? Regards Kevan

Hi Guys, thanks for the welcome!

Just a quick intro as a new member, my name is Kevan from Luton and I have been a Jaguar enthusiast and owned Jaguars for over 30 years, I currently drive a 2008 XF Premium Luxury model and I look forward to being a part of this Forum. I am an Independent Jaguar Specialist and sell Genuine Jaguar Parts through my website and at several Jaguar shows throughout the summer with my Wife. Below is a photo of my XF and one of my Wife (Kam) and me at a Jaguar show last summer. Regards Kevan
