I've decided to service my car myself this year - it needs the diff oil, gearbox oil and engine oil changing this year, so i've found a local guy with a 4 post lift i can go and use. I've ordered all the stuff and swotted up on the procedures etc (I've done diff oil before and oil changes on...

As my F is now 11 years old, I'm sure it must need new oil in the gearbox, even if it just avoids issues later down the line. Anyone had it done properly - ie new filter (i think they replace the lower casing as its built in), gearbox flush and full ZF oil refresh? If so, how much and where...

Just wanted to thank the OP for this guide and others who have written details on a diff oil change. Did mine today - took me about 2 hours, but that included finding tools and swearing at the fill plug on the diff - what a tight space. With some patience (which generally i lack) and being...

:evil: What an idiot. I did the rear pads last week, then left the wheelnut key in the one wheel and went to bed the pads in. It's gone :roll: I dont have a note of the key details either. Anyone else had this issue and if so, what did you do to resolve the matter. Thanks in advance...

Mine didn't have the black pack and i like the chrome badges at the back and chrome grill surround at the front, but having black wheels didn't work with the chrome vents. It was the only minor thing i didnt like about the car. I bought a set of used black vents (off ebay - £30!) and fitted...

I'm going to replace the front pads on my V6S as it looks easy enough to do. Anyone got any recommendations for some that are better than the OE ones as i'm not impressed with them really. They fade easily now (especially in wet weather) and i'd prefer some with a bit more initial bite...

At last - there is a way to do this. I've done it on my 2013 F-Type and it works fine. I'm not bothered about keyless entry and it's a huge theft problem now. Original posting for credit here: https://www.facebook.com/lespotts4wh...2689120106801/ . What is Relay Theft? Relay Theft is the...

Not today, but on Tuesday we went for our annual pilgrimage to Sturgess for servicing etc. As usual we were looked after well by everyone. It's a great dealership. It turned out our service was a big one (5 hours!) but we were there to wait for the service to be done, so we were given a new...

Does anyone know where i can get a 12v feed when the car is running and a 12v feed when the car is switched off? I'm fitting a new dash cam by the rearview mirror and the nearer to that they are the better..<div><br></div><div>I've current got one on a very long usb lead, but want to use...

Has anyone bought a sat nav update and applied it themselves to a 2013 / 2014 Ftype?<br /><br />Mine is definitely out of date (2013 car) and I do not want to pay loads of money for an update. Can you get them anywhere cheaper. I can find cheaper XF disc based ones but isn't ours a USB stick?

Just thought I'd say hi.<br /><br />Just bought a new F-Type cabriolet. I collect in 2 weeks :)<br /><br />V6s. Salsa Red, Gloss black cyclone 20" wheels. Visibility pack, mirror pack, dynamic i pack, performance seats, meridian 380 w sounds.....<br /><br />Very exciting, I've never owned a...
