Should I replace my car?

I have a 2006 IS220 Lexus - 105,000 miles and just had to have the dual mass flywheel and clutch replaced at £1450 plus VAT - should I stick with the otherwise excellent Lexus or is it time to change? Was thinking second hand Jaguar XF - I do about 18,000 miles annually, and am tempted to go back to petrol.

Won't be as reliable as the Lexus. But XF diesels do like to be used. They don't like short runs from cold.
