Hi there
Though the car is not due a service for another six months or roughly 6000 miles, as right now the plan is to keep the car, simply as I cannot think of a replacement the right side of 100k I am simply going to keep the car and all been well also pay it off this year in full.
As such due to several quarter mile runs and a few goes at 200mph I wanted to get the oil changed considerably earlier than scheduled as I've done nearly 6000 miles since purchase and in that time the car has consumed 0.8l so not a lot, as such it is with Jaguar for an oil service and all the audio TSB's to get the door's dyna matted to reduce bass vibrations under warranty. I feel £130 for the oil change from Jaguar is a fair price too, as that includes oil, filter etc.
Generally service has been very good and the car has been 100% reliable and as a loaner they gave me this absolute barge of a car:
XF R sport, slow as a slow thing, but what a wafter it is and so comfortable:
As the plan is to keep I am now looking into custom tuning, as I don't want an off the shelf map but the plan is to do it right, so bigger intercooler even though not required, high flow cats, lower crank pulley and a tune, but one that just sorts power, no throttle mapping, no messing with gear box, just want it to drive like stock but with the additional torque and power. The intercooler and cats will do wonders for reducing temperature to the point that even once mapped it will still be running cooler than it was stock. I am just going to go with lower more expensive crank pulley for ease of fitting and it putting the supercharger in the most efficient range.
The above should in theory take the car to 680-700HP with around 560lb/ft, I probably won't do it just yet as its Summer now and I've got a few trips abroad planned but later or early next year, once done I probably won't bother with warranty extension either as once tuned drivetrain/engine warranty is gone, so any warranty would be less useful.
