I have a jag, same as yours, a 2000 model with an 8 cylinder 4.2 litre petrol engine with a manufacturers recommendation of 95 octane and I'm getting 9.7l/h, and I see you are getting 21.3l/h - how do you drive to get such poor furl performance. Do you drive in races and such?

I have a 2008 XJ X358 parked it over the winter in perfect working order, went to start it the following summer it was smoking badly when accelerated hard the restricted performance light and message came on, I had half a tank of diesel in the tank so I started going for night time drives driving normally to burn up all the diesel, this took me 3 weeks to get the diesel as low as I could, and when I filled her up again I first poured some diesel additive then pumped the new diesel and the car started driving very well . No more restricted performance, job done

I keep having the problem. One day the car is fine and when it is hot, after half an hour, it comes back in performance restriction. It shakes, it's very unpleasant. The car was immobilized for a long time and a friend of mine, a technician, told me that it will pass. You have to drive it regularly. One wheel also made some noise, it's ok.

Hi, drive every day at least 20km for a week, use highest octane petrol, E98 for example. It should pass. Wheel noise is probably not connected to engine problem.

So, I drive it a few miles and I notice that there is no more shaking between 30 and 50 miles. Just today, before I saw your video, I drove a few miles and the car was doing very well without stopping and it still grazes but no more jerks on acceleration.
