XF wheel bearing

[miniman]

I'm assuming that a droning that changes with road speed but not rpm, load or gear, and changes when turning, is a wheel bearing.

Anyone know size of job? Car is on Approved Used warranty and has only done 2k in my ownership but not sure whether it's covered.

It will be covered if the dealer techs can clearly identify a dodgy bearing.

My experience of Jag approved warranty has been crap tho. - simply because they could not find a faulty part in the allotted diagnostic time. That was 2 different dealers trying to find a rear suspension creak on my XF. One said no fault - even tho they could hear the creak. The other blamed my towbar and wanted me to pay them for its removal and inspection.

In the end I fixed it myself - a faulty £10 foam isolator above the rear spring cup.

Update on this. It went into dealer today. They phoned back after an hour to say both rear wheels were buckled so they wouldn't investigate any further until they are fixed. £800 for a pair please. Supplying dealer is sticking to "pothole damage" which is probably fair enough but quite why the noise came on randomly and has got worse ever since is beyond me.

Ironically the (beautiful, personalised) warranty renewal pack arrived yesterday

If it was pothole damage why weren't the front wheels buckled too... they'd hit the potholes first... you'd have felt a massive impact surely?

Quite.

And they'd have more weight on them?

Perhaps the OP reversed into the pothole.......

........or maybe the fronts are buckled too?
