I have recently changed cars and took these alloy wheels off before selling. I originally bought these second hand and fitted them to a 2015 XE. 20 inch propeller style in good condition but done scuffs due to a careless tyre fitter. Happy to answer any questions. Collection only from Nottinghamshire. £800

I have the restricted performance on my xf. Like the old limp mode..i can drive okay one day. But if this comes on. You can't use the car. As anybody had this and what is the problem likely to be.. I've not done any diagnostics on it yet.. Is it an easy fix or could a bigger expensive problem to fix. Kind regards Ian

1993 Jaguar XJS V12 6.0 Coupe Signal Red, Cream Leather, 45,000 miles Less than 900 of these made worldwide! Here is a Jaguar that still turns heads the way it did when it left the factory more than three decades ago. Finished in the most evocative of colours Signal Red and paired with original Cream leather, this 6.0-litre V12 Coupe has covered just 45,000 miles from new. One fastidious private owner kept the car from the day it was delivered until 2018; the service book carries ten off

I love this car and have spent quite a bit of money improving it… unfortunately, it now needs to be passed on to someone with more knowledge. It is a 1997 (R) XK8 convertible. It is completely original and looks fantastic in Antigua blue (recently Teflon coated) with ivory interior and roof. Good bits: Only 47,500 miles MOT till 30/4/2027 Contenential premium contact 7 tyres all round with less than 500 miles use New front brake calipers, discs, pads and hoses. New track rod ends on both sides.

The Jaguar XF just has to be one of the best-looking cars on the road today and I'd say they get better with age. Evidently Jaguar felt differently, hence the tweaks and trim changes between the Mk1 and Mk2. I would have preferred a Mk2, but my Mk1 had such a phenominal service history, was going so cheap, and was so pretty to look at, I was smitten. The only feature that I wasn't exactly enamoured with on the Mk1, was those 'glaring eyes' and I'm by no means the first to cast doubt upon the 'pr

I'd do an oil and filter change and service your PCV system using new parts where necessary such as a new PCV valve. It sounds to me as if you're getting piston ring blow-by due to the boost from the supercharger and this is pressurising the crankcase and introducing oil into the inlet via inlet valve seals, piston rings and probably the PCV system itself. I would be tempted to add 500ml of Carlube ATF-U or similar to the engine before the oil change and drive for a week or so then do the oil/filter change. Then, when you do the oil/filter change, before adding the new oil, add another 500ml of ATF to the engine then top up to the level using whichever oil you normally use. Several reasons for this, first the ATF contains a product colloquially called "seal-swell" which basically revives weak rubber seals in the engine. Second, it has a very mild cleaning effect so release sticky piston rings, helps remove gum around the valves and seals which means improved compression, less oil use, more power/efficiency (so better economy) and once you've done a few oil/filter changes using this method, the oil stays cleaner in between changes. There are many other good reasons for using the ATF as an additive, i could go on at serious length but i've been doing it for at least 2 decades. I was sceptical at first but time after time, it's proved its worth. Even if you don't do the ATF bit, an oil/filter change and PCV service sould improve things - use a good quality oil though!

That interesting and I can't believe I haven't thought of that before. So the smell is probably just the engine using more oil under load? Thanks for the comment 🙏

Trust me...you are not smelling supercharger oil. It's completely sealed and isolated from the engine.
