Re: transmission. You may want to do a hard reboot and let the transmission learn your driving style. After a hard reboot you will need to reset all the computer functions, like the auto up/down window feature, etc.

Also, it may be the "dead zone" is something you may not be used to in this transmission to improve mileage. Press the sport mode button and the transmission will down shift a lot faster at the cost of fuel mileage.

 

Is special software required for a hard reboot?

 

Interesting about the transmission. Will this cost a lot of $$ at the dealer? Can I simply unplug the battery? I have the radio code.

 

One thing I love about the X350 is how rare they are. Seriously. In the entire 640+ mile trip, I only saw ONE other X350, and that was a gray SWB model!

Meanwhile, I saw countless LS460s, S-class, 7-series and Audi A8s!

 

Congrats - nice looking! But yeah get some better pics up here... What size are those wheels and tires? They look bigger than my 18s.....

 

I have absolutely no idea. Probably 19s? I was looking at tire prices for these sizes and they are FRIGHTENING!

For the price of one tire on the Jag, I could've had 4 tires on the Miata!

 

Yes, the hard reboot is the battery disconnect procedure. No dealer contact needed.

 

The larger the wheels the more the tires cost....exponentially! You can find some really good deals though.

 

I got it washed yesterday, it looked absolutely gorgeous around sunset! Glossy as heck!

I would've snapped a photo, but I feel like the car is ostentatious enough without me snapping photos of it... I don't want to look like I am full of myself!

 

I am an expert at lighting conditions for cell phone photography as evidenced by this photo:

 

its better than the photos used in Jaguar brochures. They barely show the silver streaks (cars).
For some reason they must feel it arouses curosity, heh.

 

I think the tranny has adapted to my driving style. No more dead zone!

 

Did you recently re-fuel and noticed the difference?

 

Does refueling reset something?

 

PS - More pics! Better pics!!

 

No, but I was thinking perhaps you had some bad fuel.
Old fuel does this as well. (hesitation)

 

OK! Finally some real pics!

Sweet - I do love black. What size are the tires?

 

Those are 18 inch wheels.

Yes they are. I was looking at the tire size as I was cleaning the wheels!
