R-Dynamic HSE? Jaguar really do make a mess of variant naming.

Seriously Rick - good to see your new car getting a step closer.

Interesting Graham, as it happens my MR2 has an LSD just for RWD (if LSD) - if it uses ABS/brakes, roll on the more frequent pad changes [emoji28]

Probably a little more pad wear but I guess it depends on how it has been setup. I reckon when on the move it will just transfer torque from rear to the front and will still effectively be open diff performance on each axle with perhaps only in extreme cases will the brakes be used, such as extreme slippage where a spin is imminent etc. But if stationary and trying to pull away but not getting anywhere due to a wheel on both axles having no traction I reckon it will then use the braking system to stop that wheel and send the power across the axle but that shouldn't involve very much pad wear, unless you are getting stuck all the time! haha

The fact that it can send up to 50% power to the front axle is a good sign though as it would suggest it isn't some lightweight piece of crap such as what was in the Honda CRV and could pull the car away on gravel never mind anything more serious.

Would love to know for sure and find some technical stuff on it. I could ask Jaguar but from past experience I doubt they'll be very helpful and they are probably not talking to me anyway!

The XE 2.0d AWD I had as one of the loaners while they were playing with XJ was like driving a go kart, did enjoy a couple of spirited drives.

Looking forward to this.

I’m considering an XE to replace the XF, if I can get a decent one that isn’t blue.... [emoji23][emoji6][emoji6]
....... wouldn't be decent then [emoji12]

Fantastic news, the wait is nearly over!

We have received communication from the factory that your vehicle has entered production. Once we have taken delivery of your vehicle the collection inspection (PDI) will start to take place, at this time we will be able to communicate a collection date from us here.

With 300 horses, don't you think a promotion to full "rocket" is in order. The prefix "pocket" sounds a bit . . . . wrong.

It’s still the ‘little’ boys 4 pot though, ‘pocket’ should still stand lol
