My Audi has gone in for the bumper repairs, so as mentioned in my last Audi video, here's a vlog of my Jaguar XF - hope you enjoy pop me some comments below and please be gentle, click like if you like it.
Hi Hilton. Your videos on you tube are excellent. I enjoy watching them so much. I have a 2009 XX 3.0 diesel. I’ve only had it for a month and thanks to you I am in the process of changing bulbs to LED. You explain things so well you make it easy. Many thanks to you its a pleasure to watch them.
Hi Hilton just got my 2010 xf 3.0 diesel no d a b radio is it possible for you to do a video on upgrading to d a b I believe with a d a b module thanks Rob
hey Robert - congrats on your purchase. Unfortunately I can't do any videos on this car as I sold it in 2019. I now have the new shape XF. However, I recall the DAB module is situated under the passenger or driver's seat. The seat needs to come out to fit it. You could try the Jaguar Forums to see if anyone has already done this conversion. Good luck and again, congrats. Awesome car!
Hi, goodmorning. Your videos are great thanks... could you tell me or show me how to adjust the inside rear view mirror? I just bought a 2008 Jaguar XF 3.0 petrol and thanks to your videos I'm learning a lot. Thank you very much!
My 2008 XF has the 'LOAD' button, but does not seem to be able to load 6 cd's. With one it works fine, but I would have preferred a changer. What went wrong? Was my car equipped with a single cd player? By the way; great video!
Hi Roel, every XF is equipped with a 6 CD changer in the head unit. After you have loaded disc 1, you can then load another and another until all 6 slots are occupied and then browse by CD.
@@roelzelf You have to press the "load" button after each CD you have loaded. Took me a while to work it out. It's a bit unusual as with every other multi disc player I've had you just load one after the other with nothing to press in between.
Hey Philip, the valet button is for when you go to a restaurant and they have valet parking - you can put the car in "valet" mode which will allow you to enter a 4 digit pin code and this will prohibit the car going over a certain speed as well as locking the trunk and glove box. The trunk can't be accessed from inside the car as the seat release mechanisms are inside the trunk :)
Hi i like your videos they are really helpful 👏I have the same identical car as you with 3 liter diesel . My GPS is only working in Western Europe and I travel a lot .how do I update it to all Europe? Do you have any ideas ? Please let me know if there’s away I can do it myself.thanks Bela from Belgium 🇧🇪
Thanks Bela. The satnav dvd is housed in the trunk on the left behind the carpet. The only way to change your maps is to change the dvd disc to one that has maps for all of Europe. You could perhaps find one on eBay 😉
kittycat1414 Thanks for watching. The wing Morris fold in automatically when you lock the car. You can manually operate this by pressing both wing mirror buttons on the drivers door controls by the electric window switches. Hope this helps.
Hilton just tried function still no action... I looked in the manual to see if fuse problem or relay but still nothing. Do you think I should take it in to the dealer since it must be malfunctioning.
Did you have a battery replacement recently or did they just stop working? Firstly, check on the center display under vehicle settings if the folding function is set to "on" - if it is, then press the two mirror buttons to fold them in and then press again to fold them out - this resets the mirrors to fold automatically when you press the buttons on the keyfob.
Hilton I just purchased the car November 4th , I personally haven't changed the battery and I guess I was too excited didn't even notice it wasn't working. On my menu tab it doesn't give an option like that it just gives for mirror dip.
Amos Khoza Amos, I assume you're from South Africa? In Rands terms, you will be looking at between R4,000 and R6,000 for a service depending what service. When buying one, make sure it has full service history and doesn't need brakes - brakes are very expensive. Considering that cost annually, its cheap compared to the depreciation on a brand new car with less features 😁
Great video, rather than these Petrol Heads videos, spending 90% of the video about how fast it goes at what speed! Nope, I buy a car, only Jags, as is like driving around in your favourite arm chair. Built for comfort mixed with elegant class, but also makes a statement. That statement being. I am in no hurry & I do not drive a company car, BMW, & No, I do not play golf. :-) Thanks again.
Since this is the first video of this car on your channel, and this video is more or less just an introduction and a walkaround video of it, I would be really interested to know its origin story. How you came to want it, how you got it, all that stuff. I know it's too late (maybe) for a video now, so that would be some sort of labor of love to reminisce about how it came to be.
Hey Rick - it would make an interesting video. I regret selling it and am currently looking at buying a later model XF, 2014 or 2015 if possible - same shape, just face lifted. Back in 2012, my neighbor up the road from us bought a 3L petrol and used to roar past our house in the evenings and I reveled at the exhaust note. At the time, I had a 3.6 Cadillac CTS but it didn't sound as nice as the Jag - so I decided to sell the Caddy and buy an XF with the same engine and loved it from day one. I might do a video on it ;)

Hey Debbs - I think the music in this video wasn't mine, but I'll give you a link where you can listen to my music and decide which songs you like: xcapemuzik.bandcamp.com/
You got it. Again you are the Best. I will be praying that they will hurry up and reply to you. Also, just wanted to say I saw your Beautiful car ( Jaguar ) on this movie today called " Collide ", sort of like Fast & Furious, man you should have seen that car racing through the street, it was Spectacular. I've never seen a Jag, in those type movies. I always see Audie, Mercedes or Beakers. It was a very welcome change. Check it out if you can. Thanks.
Wow, thanks Debbs. I'm going to rent that movie this weekend. There is a movie called Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise in it - actually not that good of a movie, but at one point, they feature a Jaguar XF in it too - but he ruins the car which is sacrilege, but yep, its really nice to see an XF in a movie.
See guys, we Saffers take care of our cars. Nice to see a review with a clean car. I chocked when I saw 6 kilos per litre though. I presume that's just from picking up the paper everyday...
Yep - mostly short trips to the shops. It comes down to 9L/100kms on the long road. Once got it down to just 7.8L/100kms on a long trip but that was only doing 100kph-120kph - I prefer 140kph - its a nice comfortable speed to travel at. Thanks for watching ;-)
Okay Hilton. Can't figure out how to order, is the smaller amount for one single or for one whole cd? And the larger amount of approx. $43 for all the whole collection? Please help.
I'm on my 3rd XF now and still love these cars. You won't regret it. Just make sure the one you buy has service history. They aren't cheap to maintain 😉
You saying a front suspension joint was dropping oil??? Or was it just contaminated with oil from an engine oil leak? Making it soft! Did the Stealer fix the oil leak? As for replacing the whole arm or as in your case both arms? For no reason all that was needed replacing is one push out to replace the affected bush and push in a replacement! Think you might be very wise to find a new Stealer who's not full of bulls poo!! Just to empty your pockets $$
Not with the bushes on the main control arm. The bushes like engine mounts are filled with oil to provide that cushy ride. When they fail, they leak. And you can't just shove a new one in there without breaking it and having it leak again. It's a whole arm... And a leg 🤣
Hi Hilton, thanks for your videos. After I heard that the Jaguars are reliable cars on Buyers Guide on Dstv I started searching and came across your videos. Buyers Guide did say that the 2.2 Diesel is quite reliable but i see that you prefer the 3.0l Jags. I wanted to ask your advice and your take on the 2.0l petrol and Diesel Jags, are they just as reliable as your 3.0l. Not much info is out on this car and it's reliability. I do know that spares and services will be expensive but i don't want my Jaguar to be in the Repair Centre every month either. Thanks
Hey there. Since making this video, I've owned the 2l petrol as well as the supercharged 5L V8 and all of them served me well. I drove them pretty hard sometimes and they never skipped a beat. I read on the forums the four cylinder ingenium engines aren't reliable due to timing chain failure but didn't experience that. Then when I bought my V8, I read the same thing about the V8 and again my experience was pleasant. The diesels are strong engines and the older they get, the more frugal they become. Just don't get a 3l diesel as the DPF on those cars give major hassles. Jaguar dropped the engine entirely eventually. They have only now just dropped the 3l petrol engine to be replaced by a six cylinder inline engine for 48v capabilities for the hybrid versions of their cars. So you're pretty safe going for a 2l petrol or a 2.2 diesel or a 2l diesel. Just make sure the oil is changed regularly, once a year or every 15k and the engine will last forever. Those complaints were from people who didn't service their cars. Well then one can't expect it to last now can you 😉
You said in your vid that the bush was leaking oil, btw u don't need to change the complete arms, u should of purchased the bushes and got them pressed in, making huge savings my friend!
Hey Mark, you are correct. I checked and I don't have cooled seats. Its not really something I would have used anyways because I don't even use the heated function ;-)
I know you sold this car now, but can you remember how the standard 8 speaker sound system was? Do you think it is a necessity to have the upgraded meridian system?
Hey Micheal. My car was a premium luxury. So if you're getting one that has the sub in the trunk with 8 speakers, it's awesome. Dare I say even better than the Bowers and Wilkens sound system. I have the B&W in my XFR now and to me, my old sound system sounded better in my old XF.
@@carfanfan thanks for the quick reply! That's quite surprising to hear that the bowers isn't as good as the 8 speaker + sub standard system in your opinion. I was just curious as I'm getting a 2008 Xf passed down to me and don't know any details on it ( passed away family member ) and am assuming it only has the base sound system :)
Hey bro i'm gonna help ya out... do to the fact that u love your car as i love my 2011 XF.......but in a diffrent kinda way lol. your all about luxury, elegance that classy .. i'm assuming. as im all about raw Horse P and speed. i have a 5.0 litre V8 385 hp 380 foot p of torque . your engine cover holds and traps alot heat... that black hood liner on the inside of your hood holds heat aswell! bad ..bad ..bad. talkin about heat soak all the time and that engine creates alot of heat. almost 180 degreesF. with that cover an liner man. well over the years, hot cold ..hot cold thats bad on the wiring harness..thats why you get odd lights poping up.. but the car seems to run fine. i also run a light E85 fuel mix..it bumps up the timing giving me more low end torque love it. also keeps the cylinders 6 degrees cooler...thats the e85 doin that. second... the air filters the factory ones have a huge restriction in them! u should replace them with a K&N fit.....your car will breathe and run a lot better, faster too. ok this next mod is not for you ......but for me it worked like a charm. i did the muffler delete only. the factories are a huge restriction so i did a muffler removel. now my engine can breathe!!!! giving me more torque and more HP..... and engine bay is 50 degrees cooler than before. the sound is not loud .. but not quiet either!!! but it also improved my gas milege too! becuz of the less restriction. but when i nail it.....it sounds like a race car goin sideways down the road i love it. last but not least..... now this upgrade is for you lol ..i actually ordered the jaguar cat hood ornament for the hood and it makes the car look even more classy people love it..and it looks great...its a 600 dollar piece from the dealer but ofcorse i got it cheaper than that. .....add that it looks great. and its the same jag cat from the old school jags that cat hood ornament the pouncer.
Hilton, Thanks for all your bet you didn’t know vids very useful for a newbie Jag XF 2.2 d Sport owner. Much like you I love my Jag.
Sensor under the driver's side mirror could be the outside temperature sensor. That's where it was on my Volvo.
Just becuause of ur explanations and inspiration
I just bough 2015 model of jaguar xf
I m still watxhing your all videos to update myself
Thanks Altaf. I wish you many happy miles in your Jaguar XF. A 2015 model is the best to buy as they had perfected the car by then ;)

I don't have the car anymore but the interior mirror is simply adjusted by hand.
13:23 for the exhaust noise!
can you turn off that automatic airwent and shifter open/close ? or does it always open and close itself ?
You can set the air vents to stay open but not the shifter.
@@carfanfan okay thank you for the info
The light color light to put in the dashboard
Its usually called cool blue or ice blue

Great videos @hilton. Love my XFS Sportbrake. Lovely cars.
The sure are. I'm planning on buying another one but a facelift of this X250 shape. Just waiting for the right one to pop up. 😉😁
And you're correct about the X250 interior. A high end, luxury product. Mine's 5 years old and the leather still smells and feels 👌

It's a 3.0 gasoline

I would like u to look up some thing for me I want u to look for a dashing for jaguar
What do you mean dashing?
Lower control arm brushes has no oil in them, so it wasn't them that was leaking oil on your garage floor!
robert123007able It was the control arm bushes. The oil is what makes the car drive so well without transferring harshness into the cabin.

And yes, I do play golf 😊
Actually interior lights can be turned on and off just by putting your hand close to the light, not even touching it! Clever stuff.
I love the sound of the engine, how you describe the Jaguar XF is really great the same way I will describe it!
Beautiful car enjoy

Mine was a 3.0 petrol. You have the beast. Best engine choice

@@carfanfan great! Thank you, Ive watched all your Xf videos super helpfull :)
@@orion_033 thanks man. You will LOVE that car 😉
Hey bro i'm gonna help ya out...
do to the fact that u love your car
as i love my 2011 XF.......but in a diffrent kinda way lol.
your all about luxury, elegance that classy .. i'm assuming.
as im all about raw Horse P and speed.
i have a 5.0 litre V8 385 hp 380 foot p of torque .
your engine cover holds and traps alot heat... that black hood liner on the inside of your hood holds heat aswell!
bad ..bad ..bad. talkin about heat soak all the time
and that engine creates alot of heat. almost 180 degreesF. with that cover an liner man.
well over the years, hot cold ..hot cold
thats bad on the wiring harness..thats why you get odd lights poping up.. but the car seems to run fine.
i also run a light E85 fuel mix..it bumps up the timing giving me more low end torque love it.
also keeps the cylinders 6 degrees cooler...thats the e85 doin that.
second... the air filters the factory ones have a huge restriction in them!
u should replace them with a K&N fit.....your car will breathe and run a lot better, faster too.
ok this next mod is not for you ......but for me it worked like a charm.
i did the muffler delete only. the factories are a huge restriction so i did a muffler removel.
now my engine can breathe!!!!
giving me more torque and more HP..... and engine bay is 50 degrees cooler than before.
the sound is not loud .. but not quiet either!!! but it also improved my gas milege too! becuz of the less restriction.
but when i nail it.....it sounds like a race car goin sideways down the road i love it.
last but not least..... now this upgrade is for you lol ..i actually ordered the jaguar cat hood ornament for the hood
and it makes the car look even more classy people love it..and it looks great...its a 600 dollar piece from the dealer
but ofcorse i got it cheaper than that. .....add that it looks great. and its the same jag cat from the old school jags that cat hood ornament
the pouncer.
It's actually called the leaper
do not put a leaper on an XF, it makes it look trashy
