couldnt get comfortable in the drivers seat and couldnt get anything in the way of support from Jaguar customer support. Believe it or not they said that if I swapped the seats from another F type, my guarantee would be void and they werent prepared to ask the drawing office if the seats would...

yes I know I have raised this issue before but I am still looking for a solution. Either I find one or my car is up for sale this autumn, and I dont want that - I like everything else about it. the car is a 2016 S with leather seats and the multiway adjustment and memory. I am of average size...

Even in manual mode using the flappies, the fezza changed up automatically when the engine got to the rev limit. I know that my F typre doesnt do that is its in dynamic and sports mode but does it do it if its just in dynamic ( ie no sports) or even ordinary mode? Too much mechanical sympathy to...

anyone fitted them? if so which ones and where?

the owners handbook shows the heating and ventilation allowing the face and floor vents to be set differently between passenger and driver, but try as I may I cannot find a way of doing this on my 2016 R. Is it an extra?

my F type has the 16 way adjustable memory seats. For a short drive of maybe 45 mins, as in a test drive, they are fine but for a full days driving the drivers seat becomes painful. The problem seems to be that the centre panel is soft offering little support but the edge on the drivers door...

Off to the classic le mans in the roadster with swmbo. Few days touring in France afterwards so 12 days in all. We all know that the roadster luggage capacity is a joke but has anyone found a way round it? For example, with the hood up ( and it will be up with aircon on if the temperature is...

at low frequencies, I am getting some vibration / resonance from the speakers in the doors. you can actually feel the door panel both inside and outside vibrating. I think I remember someone posting here about an update / recall to cure this problem but I cant find it using search. anyone know...

my car running on pirelli tyres and at the standard pressures simply doesnt feel "planted" in the same way that the fezza did or the lotus before that. It feels "bouncy" as if the damping wasnt that good. This could simply be me being used to mid engined cars but I doubt it. any suggestions /...

has anyone used a luggage rack on the roadster? was it successful? who made the rack?

2016 system if they have changed. Is there any way of uploading a route planned on the PC using google or garmin ie a gpx file. Going to LeMans and I dont want to just get routed down the main roads. Second question. On the nav system oin my boat its possible to offset the position of the boat...

Is it really leather ie from a cow? Or is it imitation leather ? Reason I ask is that the build sheet of my F type shows leather but its awfully similar to the imitation leather in my Merc saloon knock about. The latter is excellent stuff but imitation all the same. The leather in my F doesnt...

My car is metallic dark blue and I would like to liven it up a bit with some stripes. But reasonably discrete - the dark blue is a fairly classy colour so the stripes dont want to be too much "in your face". Anybody got any piccies of F types preferably roadsters with stripes applied - I have...

my new to me F type doesnt have a dvd player. can I pipe music into its sound system using a usb cable and my android phone? alternatively can I pipe sound in using blue tooth? the owners manual is far from clear. --- I think the car has the bog standard sound system though I am not sure and...

disconnecting and re-connecting the battery. The only reference in the owners manual is an instruction to take the car to the dealer which is obvious nonsense. So, apart from the simple physical connecting, what needs code numbers to re-install? Radio? Alarm? Where are the numbers input? Anyone...
