I had a 2008 2.7d that was plagued with problems and that was one of them where it would just randomly do that but there wouldn't actually be anything wrong and the dealer would just reset it.

Difficult one. I guess no warranty left? You may want to wave the Sale of Goods act card at a dealer.

Other than that, you may want to join the masses on http://www.jaginfo.org/forum.php where you may get some more sense.

Mine did something similar the other day....pulled into the drive-through, stopped, and it cut out with the red triangle on the dash. Re-started and the idle was all over the place. Not done it since though.

Not much help, was I?!

My April 2010 3.0 S Diesel had a spate of this. The French dealer said it was a turbo fault but as I was about to leave for the UK anyway I took it into Sturgess in Leicester and got them to look at it. Sturgess said there was nothing hard and fast that tied the problem to the turbo but they did find a cracked seal on the DPF which they fixed and since then I haven't had a problem. I know that early XFs had a problem with the turbo actuator but I imagine all those that had the problem will have had it fixed by now.
