F-Type went in for its annual service and MOT today and it failed the MOT It's my own fault for not removing the stickers, but it's not that a tiny part of the A is covered, it's because there's no space between the sticker and the edge of the plate. I had never heard of this, but in case...

Got a small upgrade .... Although Jaguar market the P450 as having 450ps power output, mine was putting out 500hp and this appears to be fairly common. With the remap loaded in, the dyno showed a healthy upgrade to 624hp and 611ft/lb of torque. I would love to tell you how this all feels but...

Taken shortly after setting off at 6am on a 450-mile round-trip

This was the boot of mine for a 3-week trip around Portugal in 2022 The cabinmax bag is my father's, and to the left and right of it were my two canvas hold-all bags, which had a capacity of 40 and 50L fully loaded. There were also two rucksacks and a large camera bag tucked in there - and...

Depending on when the car was first registered, and whether or not the previous owner paid for an extension, it is highly likely that the subscription has expired for the map updates - the car comes with 3-years of updates included. You should have an option at the top of the 'here' site...

Panoramic roof is there, yes. the only thing I'm curious about is the mileage discrepancy from the description and the photos. I can only presume the photos were taken a while ago?

I tried to get some standard Pilot Sport 4s tyres for the rear last year, but the local dealer wanted £320 a corner so I politely declined. What also put me off was the dealer insisting that the tyre was exactly the same as the Porsche stamped one they had in stock at 'only' £300. Funny how...

I don't know how much real world difference* there is between the different OE-stickered versions of the tyres but Michelin's own web-site shows different wet-handling and rolling-resistance ratings for the non-OE and OE versions. Given that we have somewhat 'inclement' weather in the UK, I...

You have to wonder, then, why Michelin's own web-site directs you to Protyre when going to look at their tyres and not their own company ATS!! Below is what happens when you click 'Buy Online' on Michelin's own web-site. EDIT: It's a local ATS garage that are going to be fitting the Conti...

For what it's worth, it looks like it isn't part of the MY21 models on the V8. I saw a thread on the US forum and took a picture of mine just now to compare - this is taken with the engine cover on and looking from the driver's side (UK)

A dark blue MY21 with a black pack? Yeah, they do look rather good don't they* * I'm VERY biased Nice to see you over here by the way, seen you regularly posting on the forum for the other side of the pond.

I presume you're referring to the section between the panoramic glass and the rear window? (the area circled in red in the attached image) EDIT: I don't know the answer myself, sorry, just making sure everybody knows exactly what bit you're referring to - I don't have the panoramic roof, so...

Rather than start a new thread, since my query is sorta related, I have opened up the boot to start fitting a CTEK but noticed a loose cable on top of the distribution box. Does anybody know if this should be connected to something? It's the white connector in the picture below that has a...

Yeah, the rest will get done as soon as there's any chance of 2 clear days without rain (it's predicted to rain for at least part of the day over the next week, but then it wasn't supposed to rain yesterday and it bucketed it down, twice, so who knows). The bonnet and roof do look fantastic now...
