  • Jaguar XF 3.0 S X250 - Changing Battery X250 2015 XF & Avoiding Issues 16 Dec 2022 (Forum)
    Can anyone recommend the best battery for a late X250 2015 XF 3.0S and the best way to fit it without encountering any problems? I keep reading about owners who have had nightmares with the central locking on facelift XFs after changing the battery. I understand the logic in keeping the power supply going whilst changing the battery with a OBDll battery saver but this type of work is not exactly my forte so would I be better taking the car to a Jaguar specialist?
