Maybe it's a noise issue? The half shaft plunge must occur all at the hub end splines if the diff end is locked in.

Not sure why they are saying the diff or axle is worn…….I guess they figured maybe id just bend over and pay them 10K to put in a new diff?
Hoping to get it all pulled apart on Tuesday when the Ford seal comes in. I will inspect the axle when it is out and see if anything looks worn. I pulled the plug yesterday and have ZERO metal on the magnet so I find it hard to believe that anything is worn. If so where did all the metal go…...

I agree if bearing failed it would be very notisable by the noise. Also if the axle was worn it would no longer be solid in the bearing and I would think due to the hypoid gears backlash requirements they would start to make some noise as well.
Car seems to be driving just fine right now outside of the leak.....I took it up north on the weekend after i toped it up and it was fine no issue 300km round trip

Read this thread: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-e-l-p-110186/
Ive read it just seems like a pile of more people having the same issue as me with worse symptoms……..all were told to buy new Diffs.
I have tried the Lincoln LS seal as was suggested but it is about half the size both OD into the diff housing and ID over the axle

We were always told the diff was non serviceable. This just reconfirms what Jaguar told us all along. Have you considered finding a used diff? You could try Coventry West.

Jaguar Quaife Differential Install ? Jacks Transmissions
If you want a Jag diff for the 2009 XF Supercharged. I found quite a few listed on www.car-parts.com under "carrier".
