Driveline Engineering Services Ltd was established in 1996 to supply industry with a totally comprehensive power transmission service. The seamless integration of the products and services that we offer is quite unlike anything available in the power transmission field today.

Driveline can supply the full range of mechanical components which when taken together with our technical expertise, extensive machining capacity and around the clock delivery enable us to provide solutions to engineering problems in a way that is simply unmatched.

This definitive approach is underpinned by a commitment to excellence in all areas of the operation:- the finest quality products; meticulous engineering standards; expert staff and supremely responsive service. The pursuit of this uncompromising policy together with extremely competitive prices has established driveline as the benchmark source of power transmission components and engineering for manufacturing industries.

Neither was I impressed with the optional ADC (adaptive cruise control). Firstly, why is this optional (1700) when my hum-drum company Golf Bluemotion has it as standard equipment? And secondly, it brakes too eagerly and sharply when other cars get in the way despite whatever the desired distance programmed into the function might be. Minor niggles maybe but at this level potential customers used to Bavarian products will soon suss these little details much more than drivers lower down the automotive pecking order. Issues aside, there is little to dislike about the 3.0 V6 diesel Sportbrake generally. As a driving tool its unruffled, comfy, quiet and practical with strong performance, decent fuel consumption and to die for looks. Nor is it cheap but what is in the premium sector these days?

A great looking car with a great driveline, the XF Sportbrake is a lovely car to drive or be driven in. A new model is in the pipeline but for now the current model still ticks the boxes for those of taste who want to drive and be seen in something less clinical than an Audi Avant or more interesting than a 5 series tourer. Smashing performance and a good ride comfort work well together and all occupants who travelled inside remarked about the way the outside world seemed miles away and isolated from the leather bound carpet clad interior.
