I’m in the process of upscaling my garage. Typical new build brick, double up and over door, pitched roof and concrete floor. Finished the roof space as a workshop, storage and the ceiling with white cladding. Next is the floor before cabinets. I have 6m x 6m to cover. Garage floor paint has...

Selling my v2.0 iCarsoft diagnostic reader Decided to upgrade to an all make and iCarsoft CR Max as I have 4 different makes of car that I now need/want to be able to read, so brand specific is no longer economic. Super piece of kit and used it on both Land Rovers and more recently to...

My SVR bumper has just the centre lower piece in carbon. The corners are matt abs plastics as are all 3 of the underneath sacrificial air deflectors. I have seen SVR’s at shows with more carbon but don’t know if they are aftermarket or optional oem items

Why do you keep making seemingly random posts not related to F Type Jaguars?

Yesterday was MOT time again and as usual I'd done all the basic checks and was confident, but why was it so stressful? So many variables that surely something would fail on the day Was it leaving it with the tester to prod and poke it, or catch the spoiler on the ramp? Could it be the complete...

Another vote for LV as have a multicar policy with them. The F Type comes out at <£250 within it, so competitive (for me) Vs standalone. Sadly I have concluded that 3 years with any provider is my maximum before the shop around game starts again. Any longer and premiums ratchet up and you run...

Thanks Yami Went with Halfords which I've used for the last couple of decades on various cars with great success of colour and durability 1 can of each of aerosol and new tin of brush on. That kept the colour match. I've attached an Excel which I used to keep control of the suppliers, part...

Finished my small January project of replacing all 4 disks, pads and flexible hoses. Repainted the calipers, added Jaguar decals and changed all the brake fluid. Went with: MTEC black, grooved and dimpled disks Pagid pads OEM full braided hoses, using the 'Carbon brakes only' front versions...

At my last service the garage indicated that several of the brake ferrules were corroded and likely an MOT advisory next MOT (March) Trusted garage for 30+ years so no issues there. Given the disks look a bit naff and the car is 11 years old I’m looking re refresh all parts back to the...

Here's what Autocar think it could look like: Guess we'll have to wait until 2 December, when "CEO Adrian Mardell pulls the wraps off a long-awaited show car at Miami Art Week, dubbed Design Vision Concept, as the first step in a ground-up overhaul of the Jaguar brand that's been in train...

Following on from Nigelc's point assuming you are using the London frequency of 102.2 FM and in Cheltenham, the coverage map indicates you are outside the coverage area. You'd be lucky to get it at all. Not an exact science of course and some cars also have better aerials than others. I find...

What an excellent event. Big turn out of Jaguars inc. a lot of F Types. Never been before, but I'd highly recommend it to anyone if the opportunity arises in the future. Packed to the roof with hundreds of stored cars, their collection, client cars and various JLR's in the process of restoration...

That’s what happens when you spend too long in the sun in S Spain.. My rental car at 13.00 yesterday..

My screensaver

Took a run out in the F Type yesterday and a faint noise I had noticed became louder, although perhaps just I've become tuned into it. A quite distinct ticking seeming to come from low down rear of engine/gearbox. Can hear it best low down in the front wheel arch. Not really audible above the...
