Hi All Got the beast out for a good wash & makeover after a couple of months. Ready to start the 2020 weekend drives now. Is anyone going to the Breakfast club this coming Saturday. Would be great to see some old & new faces alike! Steve

Hi folks Just got this XJL 3.0D Portfolio as my daily driver (as my SVR is a long term weekend only keeper!) so now I can drive the leaper badge all the time. 8-) Apart from having the badge and the infotainment system in common I was astounded to find out that the Torque this beast puts...

Hi folks Lots of Jaguar stuff going on in the coming days......Just checking if anyone is going to the Jaguar breakfast club at the Heritage Works this weekend? If so is anyone up for the usual convoy over to Caffiene & Machine afterwards? Also looking forward to Sunday’s “Jags at the Castle...

There have been quite some posts over time where people seem to be favouring Michelin over the recommended Pirelli’s when getting new tyres. What I’m missing is the alleged difference between the two? Can anyone quantify based on experience... is it cost, performance, wear etc? Thanks Steve

Hi all - just curious to see how many SVRs there are out there on the forum. Last time I checked the stats there were some 150 or so registered in the UK (so maybe 20% of the global number perhaps?) but I’ve only ever seen 5 in the flesh including my own and those of forum members at...

So here’s my first attempt at some arty F-type photography.......... :D

I got this.... hilarious!

Anyone know if it is possible to get replacement Jaguar logos for the brake calpiers.... I notice they fade with age/ washing but would like to be able to refresh them “as new”. Steve

Is anyone going to the Jaguar Breakfast Club on 1st June? Definitely worth a visit as this time it is at the The JLR Classic Works, Oxford Road, Ryton, Coventry, CV8 3EA. Lots of exotic metal to see!

The beast is booked in for its first service in a couple of weeks but I am not sure about what to ask for in terms of software upgrades and technical fixes. Will the dealer automatically do everything or do you need to specify? I’ve seen the posts on rusty cross braces but don’t know if this...

A few photos of the F-type clan at the Jaguar Breakfast Club on Saturday 4th May. Nice drive to Caffiene & Machine afterwards. Great to meet you Daddy Darren, Timbo, Nigel & Alastair. We really enjoyed our day. Cheers Steve

Anyone heading for the breakfast club at Gaydon next Saturday? Would be good to meet some other F-Typers! Steve

So finally got the SVR booked in and done by Ben of Cheshire Car Care. My car was ex-demo and had been washed by the dealer many times so it ended up having 3 stage paint correction to remove a lot of swirls & scratches. All exterior parts finished in various Gtechniq products. Ben is a...

I’m trying to get the WiFi hotspot working on my f-type. I have the latest 10 inch display and the full in-control/pro services but when I go to the connectivity settings page the option for WiFi hotspot it is not available in the menu. The only advice I can find from googling is to “see You...
