Mixed usage really, but yes some short trips, 8,000 miles a year.

Bit of research & asking around groups suggets DPF related oil dilution is only really an issue in transversely mounted setups as it's situated differently when longitudinally mounted & runs hotter.
Having spoken to the place thad did the diagnostic for me, they say the only other major failure point is the turbo, but 9 times out of 10 any bits end up in the intercooler.
Thed did also tell me that the ad blue system can be a pain in the butt.
It's a shame they no longer have last keeper info on the V5, it was really handy when i bought my ST220 as i found him on Facebook and he was happy to have a chat about it.

Darn gdpr
So, got a call from JCT600 today, they have called the engineering company who looked at the car for me & had a discussion with them about the problem, what causes it & the symptoms etc.
They have agreed to pay for the work done in full & let the engineers do it as they don't have some of the Jaguar specific tools required to do the job in their network.
I know some of you said they would go refund, however having the revised chain setup fitted from the 2019 year onwards cars eliminates the biggest reliability flaw the car has & given it's loaded with options i'm not seeing on many other XE's like the heads up display & adaptive suspension and it's in the best wheel & colour combo in my opinion, i'm hanging on to it.
That's just over 1 working day from reporting the issue to the dealer to agreeing a resolution by my estimate, was not expecting that.

Well done, Kia just told me that although they agree to the works I need to wait till 17th July as that's when they have a loan car free for 2 weeks, unless I book 2 seperate dates one to do the mechanical issues and 1 to rectify the paint
