Jaguar XF S Premium Luxury

[nobby]

Lovely car best of luck with it
Far nicer car to look at than the bm imho

 

[ossy2004]

Raging it doesn't have xenon headlights...coming from the Bm having them and adoptive headlights too, the XF has pretty poor lighting compare.

What can I do to improve without breaking the law and having to change for mot

Spied this up for sale myself last week, certainly the nicest looking one I seen for sale!

Never noticed the orange on the headlights till I read this thread, tbh it would annoy me haha

Better bulbs is about all, but it isn't a massive difference. You have projector headlights so you can fit a H.I.D kit if it works with the XF, but he difference would be night and day.

But they will fail at mot if no headlight washers surly?

5 min tidy up of the exhaust clean the rear end up rightly

Good to have my private Reg on it, feels like my car now lol

Better pics to come once properly cleaned and waxed

I did a conversion on mine, which included fitting hoses, washer jets, etc! Check out my thread, pretty sure i have pics up !

It's an easy job to swap them back over depending on the room you have behind the headlight. Even if it's not it's only once a year.

Lovely big motor Joe. Definitely a refreshing change to an E60.

How are you finding it so far? Plenty of toys in this 1 I'm guessing?

Car looks great ...was looking at a few over the past while. ..and nearly then all had a problem with corrosion around and behind that long piece of chrome trim on the boot just above the number plate ...on the interweb Jag owners were saying this seems to be a problem ..was yours OK.??

Cheers @Nicky

The bro now has the E60 and he is loving it lol

Haven't done much miles on it as yet but so far so good, seems smoother whilst driving that's for sure, not as quick (at the moment) think il dpf delete and map it in a few month once I get bored.

Yea, plenty of toys.. Sound quality with the build in sub is awesome!

Jag seem to be aware of this.

 

[ossy2004]

Also, I haven't got DAB, would the OEM setup be hard to add and code in?

I must keep a close eye on it then, regardless, can't see it being a big job to treat and fix. cheers @O.C.D

Anytime mate, any questions about them just ask away! @saxo_man also had the diesel version so he is also a good resource for knowledge.

I guess that was yourself behind me earlier Near sandyknowes?

Nice looking motor
