Always love hearing about other XFRs ! My partner bought a 2012 XFR Supercharger (aka “the Diva”) to use for Track Days here in the U.S. Most folks don’t expect to see a full-size, 4-door Jaguar sedan on track, but there is nothing like hearing her “purr” when she gets to around 200 kph. 🐾 ☺️ 🏁 She’s part of the family, and we love her dearly. ❤☺️

Very nice! I've got a 2.5 with the dual exhaust and have been looking to make it sound less grandma-ish

Superb my catch sticks like ghat and was thinking price the whole system cable as well But that looks like the fix there

I think you'll find the 954 blade had the best power to weight ratio in 2003 couple of years before the r1

Nice video and well explained. I have an XF 2010 and it's a nightmare to plug the door handle cable back into the mechanism. I've had 3 trays and tempted to just buy a full door that has it already fitted. Can't seem to figure it out. How did you do it?

Aye, that's my girl I bought for my 50'th birthday. I'm 69 now and it's showroom with 10k miles. Gorgeous and brutal as you stated. Explosive after 11k rpm. Keeper. 10.004 at 140mph at the 1/4 mile with my son who's 1/2 my weight, lol. I just like starting it and looking at it now. Cheers from the left coast.

Really enjoying your XFR content, Sir- proud owner of a recently purchased 2015 XFR checking in. It was erring towards the higher price bracket of the XFR but it was from a main JLR dealer and only has 35,000mls 👍🏼

What year is this ? Struggling to find a mk6 fiesta 2005 bonnet latch and not sure if a 2008 latch would fit it

Bought an XF-S 3.0 Diesel three years ago for approx 6k, seems like I have missed the great deal for the XFR. Although the fuel cost would destroy me later on.

Really enjoying your XFR content. I'm in the market to buy one. Did you sort the sagging/rippling dashboard issue out yet ? Keen to see a video on that please.

Excellent video and very well explained, cheers

Yeah I had a 140i which is brisker?

Well saId. I purchased my XFR a month ago and I absolutely love the car. Id like to see the induction kit install if possible. it sounds great on your car!

Fantastic video I purchased a jaguar XFR on a 2015 plate last June I absolutely love it I have had one thing go wrong and that was the battery , I have fitted full leather seats as it came half and half and that’s it, I am currently learning how to use sdd JLR software so I can do some modifications myself but what a car it’s a pleasure to drive I am currently getting 57 mpg it is a 2.2 enjoy your jag mate all the best

I bought my 2014 xfr 2.5 years ago with 55k on it for £28k, it's hands down the best car I've ever had. Why did I buy it? I've had subarus the last 10 years and needed to scratch the V8 itch. An f10 m5 was on the cards however it felt dull in comparison to the xfr. The xfr has so much character. M5 are great cars however what's cooler than daily driving a supercharged V8, it's the uk's own muscle car. Mine has been totally reliable with only regular maintenance needed. It runs out of approved warranty in 6 months so then I will be having it tuned to 600bhp with a remap & smaller pulley on the supercharger. I no longer daily it as I want to keep the miles down on it,it's currently sitting @ 64k. Absolutely 💯 you should experience an xfr. Fantastic cars 💪 💪 💪

Great video. For me personally i like the idea of one and would have the cash to fix niggles like electronic bits or wheel bearings, tyres, brakes etc. But would not have the cash to buy a new supercharger unit or engine if it went, or anything major 'big bills' wise. That's what currently puts me off! Lovely car.

How did you adjust the thread? Did you pop the white cap off, and totally remove, then replace? Or did you adjust it while it was in there? Looks very tight.

That was a mean machine not as nice looking as the face lift models in my opinion but the power this thing produced for that era was amazing.

I just recently paid $700 for an 89k mile 2010 XF Supercharged… best car I’ve ever bought!

Slow tyre pressure leak could be caused by minor corrosion where the tyre seals against the alloy wheel. I had this problem on one of the front wheels of my XFR. My local tyre place took off the tyre, sanded down the corrosion and refitted the tyre - total cost £17 rather than £200 for a new Michelin. Problem solved.

Any update on thisv

Well I hope you got those issues fixed I have mine for 4 years and all the suspension had to be redone at about 70,000 Miles.. I did buy an extended aftermarket warranty which covered every single thing so remember if you get one of these cars you have to get an extended aftermarket warranty to cover all your parts your suspension your electronics and your engine in your supercharger also the bubbling of the dashboard that's an easy fix go get a heat gun make little holes with a pin. Run the heat gun over the bubbles and press it down with a rag and it goes away.. you should do it every couple of months and also tint your windshield it'll help protect the dash

TPMS warning on my 2011 XK would go off randomly all the time. Stick some air in and it would be fine for a month or so then light up again. Known fault with the batteries once over a certain age I think.

I fitted Powerflex front bushes in the banana arms on mine, just under £100 - the other end of the arm is a rose joint and was fine.

TPMS sensor may have been damaged when the tyre was changed. Common failure on the x250 jaguar. These are about £30 and are in the tyre (it ‘s basically the module attached to the valve). You can try and reset it first to,see if this clears it.

I have the same bike, and colour, mine has 15,500 miles and akrapovic pipes but more or less standard. Absolutely love it and it’s night and day to the zx6r it replaced!!

Hi ...I've got same problem, how many pins did the plug have on the back...I'm sure the one I've ordered is 5 pin but there are 2 different switches so I've heard

Selling my spectrum blue xfr , owned for 3 years. Selling as retiring this year.

Looking into the XFR, still a bit spendy for my budget. Had an S type 4.0 with sunroof for 6 years,50k miles and no rust. Tax is £325. Trouble is the pre facelift S type is great. Geoff Lawson got it spot on for UK roads. Good luck with the project and your channel.

I just got the anniversary edition yellow with 10k miles. Don’t sell it. You’ll regret it. I regret selling every bike I’ve had

Cheers bud

It works 🎉.. My door lock now fixed. Many thanks to you

thanks alot i will try this. my door lock switch wont work. i think this will solve my problem

Nice car. The illuminated sills probably weren't retrofitted from a later model. My SV8 was a year old when I bought it, and it came with them. The XFR hadn't launched at the time. They were in the accessories brochure.

I had the exact same problem - failed the MOT too. At first I was looking at a replacement switch, using the Ford Parts site but the part looks nothing like the switch in the console. So I followed your video, took it apart, found debris between the rubber and the housing, cleaned it up and bingo - like new. Nice one!

I have a xfs 3.0l love the car but cost a fortune in parts then I find it difficult to find someone to fit parts nobody wants to know

What is the pipe diameter on it? Sounds good

Great review mate, thank you. You’ve helped me make the decision to throw caution the wind and go for it! Seasons Greetings from Cairns, Aus.

I want to get my dash fixed also on my XFR. I was quoted 2k for just the leather install. I still have to take it to the shop to have the dash removed and put back in. so $3200.00 here in the states. NOT AN EASY FIX. What year is yours?

I've got this fun job to do in the spring. Got an advisory on MOT on Wed, passed though.

I have a 2010 XFR and for the suspension all my bushings were shot on the A arms and links so all had been replaced. world of difference. also check out the trans mount bushing/bracket. another offender.

Jaguar spent millions of quid developing their car to reach the best MPG it could manage with 550BHP. Screw with the exhaust and/or intakes and you'll get worse performance, lousy MPG, and your car will sound like a bag of nails. Before you screw around with anything MAFF related, have you changed the plugs, checked the HT leads and had a full service including air filters etc. and run a proper diagnostic check? Turbochargers are more efficient than superchargers because they use the wasted energy from the engines exhaust cycle to drive a compressor. The extra performance is largely free. Superchargers are mechanically driven from the engine so use energy directly from the engine to drive themselves. The instant response is a consequence of burning fuel to drive the compressor ergo, higher fuel consumption. I really don't get the obsession of people wanting to hear a loud exhaust note inside a luxury car. It just doesn't make sense other than narcissistic compulsion. Apart from anything else it's a red flag to plod that a car has been modified, which invariably invalidates the insurance, and they get a gold star for nicking someone who is happy to advertise they are really dumb. Your car looks like it's been in a minor shunt and badly repaired/resprayed by someone with a paint can. It also looks like your car has tracking/wheel balancing/alignment problems probably influenced by crumbling rubber bushes. Nobody mentions this but the first things to cause trouble on older cars are the electrics, swiftly followed by rubber components. A well cared for engine will run forever but rubber bushes/hoses etc. deteriorate badly and are invariably ignored. Most electrical problems can be solved with a new battery and alternator. No point in doing one or the other, change both of them, as well as any (surprise surprise) rubber belt drives. I have worked on cars and bikes for the last 50 years, modding them in the early days when insurance companies didn't care, and the two biggest problems of all are lousy batteries and alternators, and rubber components of all description. The difference is, a car dies temporarily from electrical problems, it dies permanently with rubber problems. If an alternator dies at 70MPH the car slowly grinds to a halt. If a rubber coolant hose or worse, oil hose, ruptures at 70MPH the engine grenades itself. There is no such thing as a cheap performance car.

Love the videos

You need to change those horrible stock levers for some shorter adjustable ones, would look way better. 👍

Let me know when you want to get of the Jag i need get a car soon the xf had a bash in the front pump has been taken off

Ive got the 3.0 S type, lots of niggly faults including the door issue. 100% sure its the door regulator.

I was looking at buying a new facelifted XFR back in 2013. I decided to browse some Jaguar forums and every poster had Stockholm syndrome with regards to the car. People would talk about trim pieces falling off and electronics not working but it was a "small price to pay for the privilege of driving a Jaguar" (literally the words of one poster). I expressed my hesitation of spending $80K+ on a car only to have parts start falling off and electronics start failing after driving it off the dealer's lot. I was told that if things like that bothered me then "Jaguar ownership wasn't for me" and that I "should buy a Lexus".

i have ram air pro-ram intakes on my 2014 xfr, no issues at all, no loss of power,no bogging down just pure sexual supercharger whine :)
