Thanks for the pictures and advice elviukai,
What year is your XF, and how many miles were on it? Had you felt the rumbling while turning that is usually the symptom of a diff issue?

Its 2008 05, when you mention I may had/have slight vibration when turning at low speeds(but to one side only) Now its dificult to tell because i have small exaust leak somewhere(car sound now like myfriends modified ehaust XFR) and I belive get some vibrations from gearbox/TC.


Mileage is 150 000miles and differential was virgin according level bolt condition (but could be replaced earlier as recall as I'm second owner.) I have very small leak (around 150ml/year/15000miles) in rear diferential unit.
