I'm usually a fan of brightly coloured cars(only supercars , or cars that are nice looking. e.g. not a ****** little corsa) and that orange is nice, BUt that grey, oh my god Looks amazing

I saw the White with black trim F Type Coupe yesterday and let me tell you it looks immense

Now that I've joined the Jaaaaaaaaaaaag club

any recommendations on a reasonably priced reasonably competent mechanic in the Sheffield area?
My usual mechanic tells me there are 6 lambda sensors on the 4.2L V8 S-type, I don't believe him, so slightly reluctant to use them for this car

Thanks

6 sounds about right to me I'm afraid

Really? That would be embarrassing

I'm struggling to find any reliable sources on this, including in my workshop manual which describes the process of removing the heated oxygen sensors rather vaguely as though there's only one of them

miniyazz · 30 Mar 2014 at 23:53

See I'm looking at diagrams like this one from the workshop manual which while not explicit strongly gives the impression of two sensors per bank

If there is a third sensor, what does it do? :confused:

Its the 340BHP one, with quite a low spec, would be below what I'd put on one, but drives very nicely.

Pic not working for me

Why do I always get 2.2 diesel, or 3.0 non S models when my XF goes in

That any better as moved them to Flickr?

My cars not in for anything, just asked if I could have a test drive. Might help that I've had 3 cars from them in 3 1/2 years and my dad has had 3 as well.

I would recommend you speak to Tony at Paragon, he knows everything there is to know about the 4.2v8 and I trust him.
He's based near Buxton, so just up the road from you.

Had my XF S in for parking sensor replacement yesterday, and dealer lent me a 2.2D Business - was slightly worried I was going to end up with the Peugeot 308!
The 2.2D certainly felt initially spritely - guessing that is down to the 8 gears to my car's 6 - but quickly ran out of steam. Certainly a noisier and less refined engine. Also, the interior is really quite disappointing, coming from my PL spec. In contrast, however, I did like the updated media etc. interface - a lot better layout and responsiveness to my car's albeit with less features on the spec of the car.

Thanks, I'm currently using Sheffield Prestige who seem good enough. Trouble with the Doncaster one is it's about 40mins drive but I'll bear them in mind.

Bit late to the thread as the car was a victim of the floods - but here goes anyways:

I really don't get that great big strut thing on the passenger side of the console :confused:
