    I just bought a Jaguar XF 2011 Face-lift version, and the major thing that made me go for a Jag was your videos and your passion for the XF. Thanks for all the vids you put up of your XF keep it up.

      Congratulations on your purchase. You will be spoilt for all other cars now after owning this car. I have have such fond memories of this car even though I now have an XFR. My first XF is still fond in my heart and I wish I'd never sold it. That leather smell and plush ride. I can never forget. The XFR is a different beast. The ride is firmer and power is visceral. But my V6 was regal and more composed in it's power delivery. You will love that car no matter what.

    Hi Hilton, I've just bought a 2008 XF V8. I came across your series "Bet you didn't..." and have found it really useful. thanks for taking the time to make this series. One big question though. Your series was so interesting and helpful, why don't manufactures do this sort of thing as a matter of course.

    Thank you for your channel. I have a 2010 XF in Lunar Dust and it still spins alot of heads. It is the best car I have ever owned and it takes care of me. I don't know why some jerks (Scotty Kilmer) are so critical about Jag I have been a fan all of my life. I once had an Audi and a Nissan 300 ZX as the most expensive and their engines blew! Tsk tsk tsk. My Jag is going to be an heirloom!

    • @carfanfan
      @carfanfan  5 років тому +4

      The problem with Scotty is that he has never owned one. He sings Toyotas praises but like any car, if you don't look after it, it won't look after you. Your 2010 will go down in history as the best Jag ever built. Even I still drool when I see a 1st Gen XF 😁

      Totally agree Manny, the XF is a hugely underrated car. I can never work out how somebody can slate a car if when they don't own them and have probably never even set foot in one. What do they hope to achieve? I test drove a new Toyota Avensis once and couldn't wait to get it back to the showroom. It was the most boring car I'd ever driven.

      Hey Thomas, I take it you had a tire that was low on pressure at some point? There is no way to reset it on your screen. The system requires you drive for at least 70 miles after making sure your tires are at the correct pressure before it resets itself and the light goes out - if it doesn't, you have a faulty tire pressure sensor and will need to replace it.

    Goodmorning Hilton, thank you so much for your videos, they were a great help. I would like to ask you for further help, could you kindly tell me how to adjust the internal rearview mirror of the jaguar xf? I recently bought this 2008 car but I can't find how to adjust the internal mirror and the manual only talks about the darkening sensor and I'm afraid of breaking something. Hope to hear from you, thank you very much.

    • @carfanfan
      @carfanfan  9 місяців тому +1

      The internal rear view mirror adjusts by hand. Just move it gently with your hand until you find your optimal viewing position based on your seating position. It isn't electronic so you don't have to worry about breaking anything.

      If I recall, it was a center cap emblem that I measured out and bought on AliExpress. Measure the circumference of the inner part of the gearshift and simply order a Jaguar center cap sticker. You get them in black, red and silver I think. Search Jaguar center cap emblem on AliExpress and many will come up then just order the right size.

    Hi Hilton, do you know if the wing mirror can be adjusted to a lower position when it dips in reverse? Mine doesn't dip very much at all on either the left or right side, it only ships very slightly. I tried adjusting it with the usual control on the door, which was fine, but the next time I tried it in reverse it reverted back to the original setting where it only dipped very slightly. Thanks for another great video, still learning new things every day about my XF

    • @carfanfan
      @carfanfan  3 роки тому

      Yes, when you out the car in R, and the mirror dips, use the mirror control stick to move it to your desired position. Put it in P or D and it will go back to normal position. Now each time you put in R it will go to the position you set it at.

      Hmm, you pretty much screwed yourself there mate. Unfortunately the rear seat release is IN the trunk so that won't work either if you don't have the hard key and the XF doesn't have remote links under the trunk for jump starting like the Cadillac CTS has. You are going to need to get a hard key cut.

These grooves need to match your car's holder. From what I recall there are types of H16 one with wider grooves and one with narrower grooves. Not sure which the fog lights use though.

      Don't be scared, it is just like any other car. They are mostly very reliable. High mileage might bring with it some issues, but you'd get that with any other car of same age and mileage. The 2L petrol is a good buy, but the 3L super charged has coolant leak issues, so don't buy one of those. Go for a 5L V8 or a 2L petrol and it will be pretty reliable.
