Disabling Start-Stop
Some has had good luck with disabling Start-Stop on a new XF:

Don't know if that would be of any help to older XFs, but I figure it's nice to know that someone has done it on a Jaguar
Just try'n to help my Jaguar-drive'n buddies

I'm pretty sure the stop/start battery set-up and cabling is completely different on the new X260 XF compared to the 2012-2015 X250 XF, so unlikely this would work on one of them.
But on my MY2015 F-Type with the secondary battery stop/start system all I had to do was remove the positive lead from the second battery, best move I ever made. Completely disabled the system without effecting anything else and no error messages or codes. From MY2016 on the F-Type changed to a different single battery stop/start system, so maybe this trick that works for an X260 will work on the later F-Type?

But remember, these are just about the most expensive F-Type wheels there are, I think only the SVR wheels cost more.

I don't know that I would make that trade. The stopping power on the XF is pretty dam impressive. I actually enjoy the fact that the brakes bite so hard. I let my father-in-law drive my 2011...it was a blast!!! He would press the brake and the car would screech to a halt. ... almost got rear ended. I had to get him to pull over so I could drive...hehehe.. I should not have enjoyed that!!....lol...but yea, the dust is a bad. Kills your wheels and the surrounding components get full of grime too.

Someone stole my thread...
Why don't you brake dust guys take your discussion to a new thread. That would certainly make searching the list for it easier.
