New member new car possibly
Hi Guys
A little intro from me if I may ,we have been Landrover owners for the last 20 years or more.
However as I self maintained and now getting on a little and to be honest don’t have time to do this we are about to part ex the Disco 3 been which has been fantastic.
The only car we like is the XF sportbrake, fishing and 3 dogs when we go away with the caravan dictate the need for an estate.
I have read on the net that there may be issues with the electrical system post tow bar fit .
question is do they come tow bar ready as in a multi plug somewhere to plug the tow electrics into or is it a splice the wire job .
will post a pic when we swap,it will be the 2.2 version we intended to seek.
thanks
phil

Welcome to the forums Phil,
Modern Jaguars have sensitive electronics so I can well believe they could be temperamental with aftermarket towbar electrics. If you are looking for a pre-2015, ask the question in X250 forum. If you are considering the current XF Sportbrake, ask in the X260 forum.
Enjoy the forums.
