Thank you, same for me, there are a few issues, but I love the thing!

I spent a few days in Cairns, loved it there! If you can fix it or know someone to help fix it, do it, I've had no time for content lately, but the XFR is still here and epic!

Thank you! Trying to get time to get the Fiesta MOT'd and ready for the next owner, then onto the XFR!

Yep, I've got an X-Type and Discovery at the moment, had two range rover sports, an Evoque, three XFs before, love them!

Thank you 👍 that was something I was very aware of when I had a look, listened for rattling and also looked for oil leaks. All seems clear there. I've seen how complicated the timing chain replacement is, it looks a very difficult job!

I found the receipt for this, they were bought aftermarket and weren't on the original spec!

I've had an SV8 before too, lovely car, but pipped by the more sporting aspects of the XFR. The seats for example are standard. Your XFS has probably got the same sculpted seats as the XFR? I had a 3.0 diesel S for a couple of weeks but it was a bit of a lemon so was returned to the dealer. The XFS is a lovely car too though, a decent amount of power from that, but much better on fuel and tax. I definitely wouldn't recommend the V8 for 25k a year! If the clips are hard to find I'll just suck it up and go to the dealer, can't be more than a couple of quid each.

@@turnerscarsUK had a remap on the XFS, circa 320bhp and 529lbft, along with a gearbox remap - it’s swift, fast hot hatch quickl, but, still returns close to 50mpg One day I’ll get an R though

I think I'll wait until spring to give it a good going over, and debating some bodywork before, I've found some rust on the bootlid now too.

@@turnerscarsUK Sounds like a plan - hopefully no more rust will appear. I think I saw somewhere that Mercedes get rust in the wheel arches.

Thank you! I'm surprised how popular it's been, so there will be more of this. I love the XF, the 3.0 are also lovely. Lots of shared components with the XF and XFR.

The XF had the 4.2 as the SV8, even more rare than an XFR as they were replaced quickly after launch. Fantastic engine, but not quite as sporty as the XFR.

The only thing that will replace the XFR is another XFR, it's incredible!

I'm ready for the challenge! I've recently changed the front belts on a Discovery 3 so feel like I can tackle anything 🤣 my worry is when it comes to diagnosing what's wrong.

@@turnerscarsUKI have 20 yr old S type 4.2 116K miles even when mechnics put it on the computer its shows things thats arent even wrong with the car....its a nightmare here with jags.....

My theory with any JLR product.. be more worried if it says there are no faults!

I'd definitely want to keep one into retirement and enjoy it more!

Going touring on me bike 👍

You snooze you lose 😜 it was only 5 miles from me and I was originally after a facelift, but this was worth a look..

@@turnerscarsUK I thought it was a bargain at £8300 so we’ll done on getting it cheaper. I’m not gutted as I’ll be picking up a 996-911 next week, so I’m still smiling. I only wanted the R to pair with my XF 3.0d to have a daily and a toy. Enjoy it as it looks a good example. Just sub’d as well to see what happens to it.

Well the 996 is a very different beast, I've always fancied one of them and like the 996 shape. I had a track session in the GT3 once. Share some details if you're posting content with it! I hadn't expected so many views on this, so I will be posting more content. Just need to focus on clearing a couple of other cars before cracking on!

I'm hoping it has up until now, there are a few cosmetic things I'd like to address, but mechanical seems good.

Sounds like a great project! Where abouts are you and have you got a link to any content?

@@turnerscarsUK absolutely! Loving it! I’m based in Lincoln.. I have zero content I’m afraid.

I'm not a big fan of a wrap, I like to keep cars close to original, and a decent wrap is a lot of money I'd never see back!

The XF 5.0 will be a lovely car. Fuel is costing me more than I thought, mostly I can't stop driving it!!

For me yes, forward alert and parking sensors are not working, but it drives fine and the main warning can be turned off every drive. It's not an MOT failure as the engine management light isn't on. It's currently the first thing on the list to investigate, after I've sold one of the other cars or two! Let me know if you investigate and how you get on 👍

Sounds like the speed sensor ? Wouldn’t come up on a fault but would also explain why parking sensors are not coming on

This is high on my list to investigate, the parking sensors were working when I first had it.

Yep, it definitely came up here from Essex, I've got the email of the chap who had it and will ping a message. I think it was jaginfo I was on when I had my last XFR.

@@turnerscarsUK think it was Jordan’s car, there is a massive thread on what he did to the car on jaginfo

That's not going to happen! The timing chains can go, but you get warning for a £5k+ job, I'll wait for it to make noise.

@@turnerscarsUK speaking from experience, happened to me without warning on my 2011 facelift.

It will get a polish for sure, and I'll try and pull the little dents out

Took my jag to get 2 little dents out cost 110 pounds. Better if u can do it yourself

I think it's the potential to be a future classic, like the E39 M5, when you could get them for reasonable money. There's a few things that need fixing with it, if they're not too much of a drama, it'll stay for a long time!

No, the owner was down the road from me, Derbyshire, he bought it from a guy in Essex. The plate was only added this year though, so probably transferred from another XFR.

D3ggy footrest,so that was a Jaginfo forum car🤔

@@turnerscarsUK Funnily enough i'm also an XFR owner and near Derbyshire (Mansfield) 🙂 Was hoping my car was rare enough that i wouldn't see another XFR around here, might see you out and about if you're on the M1 much between J28 and J25 (Polaris white, facelift, noisy, unique plate) can't miss me 😆

I'm not following you with this 😅

To be honest, I do videos for a bit of fun, to share some experiences and hopefully help other people. I'm shocked this has flown to 5k in little more than a week! Shows that people love the XFR as much as me, so I will have to do more content, I can't guarantee how quick, how good, or what will be in it, but I will do some more.
