Default Foam in cills , Jaguar XF 2010

New to the forum
this is my second Jaguar ,an XF
like it ,unlike my old type which I sold after 6 months it was and always will be rubbish in my eyes
any way just bought a 2010 XF
like the car a lot like the style it’s my idea of an executive saloon unlike the austere bmw or Merc,s on offer

grips , why oh why do they put foam rubber in the cills and leave them open to every bit of rain thrown up from the road
they British Lelyland did that kind of stupid tricks when I had my 1100 result rusted cills and eventually a scrap car

my x type was rubbish build , yes made in Liverpool on the ford Mondao track
Result a mondeao in drag .I do hope this my XF is better built ,but beginning to have my doubts

so where can I obtain bungs for the jacking points on the cills
just taking out an awful lot of rather wet foam rubber from both cills
before rust sets in .I

AFAIK Jaguar don't fill the sills up with rubber foam. Is yours a new car or used ? Some owners do strange things with their cars. Maybe the previous owner lost the bungs to the jacking points so got a can of builders foam from B&Q and squirted it in.

I have to say that you seem so uncomplimentary about Jaguars I do wonder why you've bought another one !
