Hi
Well I got my Xf back following it being in for its first big service as per my other post.
In end it cost me £366 so slightly cheaper than original discounted price of £370 and much better than original £462 they quoted me!!
I didn't take the service plan and will wait to see if I am keeping car and maybe go for the 3+ plan later in year.
Whilst it was in they sorted the flickering interior light and say they have now for third time checked the rattling door panels and secured the wires behind, we shall see. They also said the spot of oil dripping on my differential which I discovered was an 'oil weep' and they think it's nothing to worry about. They have retorqued the bolts and cleaned it all up. They want me to drive another 1,000 miles and will then check it again. Lastly they said I had a flat spot on inner side of one my front alloys likely due to a pot hole but was nothing to worry about as such.
However they said that on Heath check they had found the exhaust heat shield loose and that I needed to get a new one fitted which they don't have in stock right now. Also even more worrying they said they had found water in the boot and done a test. They are saying it's a vent in the rear causing water ingress which is something know to happen and they intend to replace it but that it will be in the body shop for two days at least to do this! Anybody got knowledge of this apparent known fault? Where exactly is it that it needs to be in body shop for two days and is it serious ?
Cars booked in again for end of February so guess at least it's being dealt with.
