Hello, I am currently in the market for a Jaguar XF 2.2D. Both my wife and I have taken a liking to this vehicle and are considering purchasing one. However, I have a few inquiries that I hope someone knowledgeable about this model can assist me with. ... Additionally, I am curious to know what factors I should be mindful of when assessing the vehicle and what questions I should ask the seller.
Good move, great car.

Morning everyone, and thank you all for the help. We've decided and pulled the trigger on a light blue xf 2011 2.2d. Plenty of power for me and it was really close to the house. The only problem that I could see when buying it , is that the central lock on the driver side , the actual small tab is very sticky when using the key. Is that an actuator problem ? Have tried some ptfe on the latch but didn't help. The tab on the dor feels sticky compared to others
Congratulations and enjoy the car.

It's been a while since I had my X250 but I seem to recall the locking tab on the interior of the driver's door was a bit more reluctant to move if I pressed the central unlock key, or used the remote to unlock the car. That seemed normal. When I opened the door using the main handle, it all worked fine.

Other more technical people, with better X250 knowledge than I have, can advise on the locking tab issue you describe. If it does turn out to be a latch problem, bear in mind it is a different part number depending on whether or not your car has keyless entry.
