Adaptive suspension question XF S Sportbrake

I've had the XF for a month or so, and so far its been almost faultless, apart from a slightly annoying occasional squeak from the rear seat when No. 2 son is in residence...

I have noticed a strange issue with the suspension however, I tend to drive it in Dynamic mode all the time as I like a firm ride (fnaaar), but when I have to navigate the smaller type of traffic calming it producers a pronounced double thump on each axle, I thought I'd bottomed the car out when I first did it but there's no sign of any impact on the bottom of the car at all, it's much less pronounced in normal mode.

Is this a known design feature, a fault or what?

Any ideas?

If it's just what the car does, that's ok.

Really enjoying the car so far, first Jag I've owned and it's well good.

Well, I found a similar post on another forum whilst looking for info about turning of Meridian's damn DSP auto level control...

Looks like it's a problem with the active engine mounts, JLR know about it and have no fix for it...

Anyone know about this or have any further info before I have to go and listen to some dealer bullshit?
