Now, if I decide to keep the XF, I will need to have a wheel refurb and some new tyres. Do you think its cheaper doing that or buying a new aftermarket set that come with tyres? What type of wheels do you recommend?
Also, im getting a small smell of Petrol/Fuel from outside which I didn't have before, could this be a filter that needs changing?
My XF only has 32k on the clock, and I have OCD when it comes to mileage, always look for low mileage cars with FSH.
What filters do you recommend to improve performance/power etc?
Ive had a few teething problems but have now been sorted......boot not unlocking or opening and the drivers seat cover coming unclipped, but touch wood nothing else.
Im not mechanically minded, but happy to read up on how to do things. Advice on where to buy parts would help too.
Sorry for the long post.
Many Thanks
Tom
As for keep or sell. Well, that's up to you. I sold mine a year ago. Had three Merc's since.
Had that spell of petrol in my Xfire. It was the over flow pipe had come off in the filler. Need to pull the RH rear boot trim off and push it back on.
You could have your wheel painted or powered coated. Last set I had done was powered coated. £360 including remove, refit, balancing and a set of loan wheels whilst they were off. Looked good. Hope this helps a bit.
