Maybe try a Jag indie as the 5.0 Supercharged XFR's had tensioner problems, it's the same engine.
Good luck. |

| Engine to body earth poor connection will definitely cause a starter problem. I'm not saying it is that but it's worth checking if you have had work done. |

I had similar on an XFR, it was the battery on it's last legs, a new one sorted the problem.
As yours is a 2018, if it's the original battery, I would replace it as normally they only last for 5 or 6 ... |

You will probably find that a main dealer will say it cannot be done as they don't do retro-fits.
I did mine a couple of weeks ago, a 2015 L494 and it was an easy 30/40 minute job. No coding requir ... |

As I mentioned in my retro-fit of a heated steering wheel, the new wheel has paddles, although they didn't work.
I bought SDD V165 which I tried yesterday, but I had no luck finding any option to a ... |

Thanks RRS, seems I'll have to keep cleaning then. I do tend to give the camera a wipe with my thumb when I walk past it.
Cheers. Les. |

Has anyone noticed any difference to the amount of muck that accumulates on the tailgate and particularly the rear view camera after fitting rear mud flaps?
I don't really fancy fitting them if ther ... |

| The official workshop manual refers to primary and secondary turbo's, so yes, they are 2 on all SDV6 engines regardless of the BHP. |

Same engine, different stage of tune from the factory.
We have a 306BHP SDV6 and it's great, far quicker than I imagined.
It definitely has 2 turbo's.
Remember, you only read about bad engines on ... |

The heated steering wheel & clockspring arrived this morning. The weather is looking good for tomorrow, but, I couldn't wait. So I braved the cold.
It took me about 40 minutes, plus ... |
