    Misc - Brake pads / mats / wheel centres

    Hi Jshark, Pads and mats available - wheel centres are off to a new home. Mats are in good condition. Both of the Jaguar logos are very slightly scuffed from shoes getting in and out, and the drivers mat has a 'flat' spot from a right heel (as you'd expect - but not horrendous).

    2014 V8S - IRR - 37k miles - £35k

    After 2 fun years it's time to sell my F-Type. I only managed 4k miles last year, and it'd be even less next year; I'd rather someone else was enjoying it rather than it sitting on my drive. January 2014 5.0 V8S - RWD 495 BHP Italian Racing Red, with Black interior. 20" Tornado wheels...

    A Tale of 2 Tyres

    So I needed a couple of front tyres (P zero’s if you’re interested, because I’m a) tight and b) love testing my ninja reflexes) and booked myself in to the local fitters. There’s a 20 minute wait so I settle in to reading my book. Sure enough, 20 minutes later I hear my car start, and then...

    Warranty Cost - Early cars

    Has anyone with an early car (2013 / 14) had a warranty renewal through recently? Preferably for a V8S. Just trying to get an idea of cost - I pad around £1100 last year - I need to decide if I’m going to have one more year in my car.

    Bring me a low loader

    Can’t fault the AA. 40 minutes for a Tech last night, and whilst it was a 4hr slot for a Low Loader they called 20 minutes before arrival & I just went to meet them. Off to Tom’s, hopefully. I didn’t get any paperwork so it could be on eBay / in Lithuania by now!

    Bring me a low loader

    Well it’s been an enjoyable 18 months, but it was inevitable that I was going to have a trip on a low loader at some point! Just a series of loud clicks when you push the start button. No low battery warning, and I tried a jump start, but nothing doing. The very friendly AA man has diagnosed...

    Black Start Button

    I’ve just started swapping my orange (sorry, Ignis!) buttons for black. I need a start / stop button which I’d found last week for £24, but I can’t for the life of me find the website again. Can anyone recommend an online supplier? Ta!

    It’s all Lunars fault......

    I didn’t want another F-Type. I was done with Jaguar, and had found a nice reliable Boxster. I then I went out with Lunar & Horti, and this happened........ Curse you Lunar. Roll on 2 weeks!

    Should I stay or go?

    A few weeks ago I posted in the Introductions sections having done a deal on a 2014 V8S. I got to enjoy it for 2 weeks before dropping it back to have a fault with the passenger window fixed. Nearly 2 weeks later I'm still without my car, which apparently needs a new Body Control Module...

    Can I join the gang?

    Well it's been a very long time coming, but I paid the deposit on my F-Type yesterday, and will collect next week. I ended up with an Approved Used 2104 5.0S in Satellite Blue. I've spent over a year trying to decide whether this was a sensible purchase or not (it's not!), whether the R was...

    Retro-fit Heated Seats

    I’m off to look at a car tomorrow, which is pretty much on spec apart from the lack of heated seats. I’ve found a company called AV Solutions in Bury who can retro-fit a system for a reasonable price. Has anyone come across AV Solutions? Or are there any recommendations for an alternative...

    Late First Service

    I've got my eye on an 5.0 R and simpleR has kindly looked up the spec, which shows that it's first service was 10 months late. Does that make it one to steer clear of? It's from a main dealer with the years Jaguar warranty - which I'd probably want to extend. Thanks, J. PDI - April 15 1st...
