After a recent service my 2013 XKR threw
up the error codes for the VVT exhaust valve failure. After a lot of hunting I removed the oil filter and found it had collapsed and was probably restricting oil circulation. Has anyone come across this?

I think that is spot on. It must have been incorrectly seated. Diagnosing the problems this caused was epic with opinions from failed vvt solenoids to timing chain jump although in hindsight it was always an oil pressure problem. Thanks for the replies
Oil pressure-I think
