This is tempting for the money....

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201906239317726?atmobcid=soc4

Thought I thought you were after a V8 petrol. Not a V6 tractor

 

That caught my eye, still also like that XJ posted as well. I can hardly deploy full power of 3.2 on my commute so V8 would be a bit wasted. But still considering options.

A 2l tractor XF will probably have nearly the same power as a 3.2 Omega, if the opens up cheaper options (though I think at that age, the 4 pot diesels are a bit wheezy)

The 3l petrols from that era might be cost effective (not looked lately) as well.

If I went XF 4 pot diesel, it would be the later 2.0 engines. In the x260 shape around 2016 era.

Perhaps the very slightly smaller XE could be a consideration.

Not a fan of the back end looks of it, personally. I think XF is a better looking car

Looks are subjective but I find it hard to tell an XE from an XF.

My son has one, eight speed box and goes very well, unbelievable on fuel returning 46 to 50mpg on a run without driving like miss daisy. The have a couple of faults one being they often crack inlet manifolds (especially if they’ve been remapped ) but a lovely ride with all the toys and looks to match and a sure bargain at that price.  Timing belt change at 105,000 or 10 years, mind you would be braver than me to take a chance!

Front yes, not from back though!

Thanks. 

What age/spec?

Can you fit three child seats in it?

It’s a 2011 facelift XF 3.0. V6 diesel portfolio beautiful car.

Methinks his fuel computer is telling porkies, as no way will he get that sort of MPG unless driving everywhere at 50mpg.

My XJ - same engine, same weight - averages 32.5mpg over several tankfuls. Manually calculated, as the fuel computer is worse than a cheap watch.

Rarely agree with you, but on this occasion we are aligned.

I would be expecting low to mid 30’s at best from V6 diesel, mid 40’s with 2.0 latest XF.

I suspect you will achieve better than me, given your style and your commute.  If I keep mine on the motorway and at 70mph, I reckon I'm in the genuine mid/high 30s. Cant prove it, as life is too short to do that over a whole tank.  I was doing well on this tank, but all ruined on my dash of mercy to get Mrs TB off the hard shoulder, and middle lane hoggers getting in my way, causing heavy braking and hard acceleration.

General consensus from those that have bothered checking (most owners don't, as Jaguar would never tell porkies, and the dealers are the best people to service/fix the car, because they make nice coffee) is Jags from that era over read by 10-15% at least

[Raeturbo]

Just asked him he gets 50mpg sometimes, and he doesn’t crawl in it. I made a slight mistake on the car, it is a 2012, 3.0 diesel portfolio S. And does 75mph at 1200rpm in eighth.

[Raeturbo]

He loves his car and when I told him his mpg was being questioned this was his response



Right let's have a bet then tomorrow I will be driving 350 ish miles I will reset when I leave my house and video the reset and video the trip computer reset then when I finish up at carlisle we will see what average I've got
