Default Hello from Derby, England!

Hi,
First time Jaguar owner after a series of sports saloons in my youth, followed by family cars and now the soon-to-be owner of a 2014 XF 3.0d V6.
I maybe should have asked this before, but is there anything to look out for on the 3.0d V6? Anything anyone would recommend I do straight away? Current mileage is a mere 36,000.
Thanks,
Dave

Welcome to the forums Dave,

On a new (to me) Jaguar, I always go through the full maintenance schedule (especially fluid changes) to pick up on anything that may have been overlooked and give a baseline for future servicing.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xf-xfr-x250-44/ to the X250 forum for help, advice and information.

Please add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also use the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Thanks Graham.
I know the tyres need replacing as do the front brake pads (the discs are in good shape thankfully). I managed to knock an extra £1,500 off the price to cover those items and as the tyres are cheap non-brands I'll be glad to get something decent on the wheels.

I'm not sure about the signature. I set one up that is showing in the CP preview but not on the posts.

Dave

Dave,

Signature changes appear after the NEXT post - not immediately. This catches out a huge number of members.

Welcome to the Forums.

Like Graham, any new to me car gets EVERY fluid changed, and I mean EVERY fluid, then I know where I am with those items.

Good luck.
