Applies 19th may .... For those that have not seen it Quest tv is showing - How It's Made: Dream Cars S01. E09: Jaguar F-Type At various times this week. Quest is a free to air channel available through most TV sources. May also be available on catchup...

My neighbour has got rid of his F-type and has a a Jaguar branded car cover he no longer needs. Please note the cover has been used outside and due to its bulk to post there would probably be a need for collection from Cardiff. I don’t need it as I garage my car, but If anyone is interested...

Currently In Krakow Poland on holiday and came across a Jaguar exhibit in a shopping centre. Some nice models on display including a Project7.

In Abu Dhabi for the F1 Grand Prix and was pleased to see that the circuit is using a few f-types (amongst a few other makes) to give circuit experience rides. Definitely image raising. Kev

Not the best photo, but picture of mine with the rubber grommet. Fitted one each side. Takes up the slack and stops the cover moving sideways and off the pin on one side. Added a piece of cloth tape for good measure. Been 100% ok since. Bought the grommets off eBay. Kev

Had the opportunity to drive both a Porsche Cayman and a V6 Ftype back to back round the Thruxton race circuit today on one of those track “experience days”. Although I own an Ftype I was driving their cars. I learned 1) the interior of the Caman is very plastic and nowhere as nice a place...

I don’t think this has already been posted but the online service history for Jaguars is now available with just the VIN i.e. You do NOT need to create an account, have to login or even own the vehicle to check. I suppose this falls into line with the gov allowing access to other vehicle info...

Reading these and other forums I’m not sure my active exhaust is functioning 100%. Firstly my car is pre-owned so I don’t know it’s history and I suspect it’s had the Jaguar modification to the vacuum to convert it to to the engine vaccum rather than the pump. It appears that early cars had...

Decided to give my wheels a thorough clean including the backs. Removed the dirt and tar spots the paper labels residue and gave them a protective coat of rim wax. Very satisfying and hopefully it should make future washing easier. Kev

Does anyone know the paint code or a supplier for some touch up paint for the silver on the 19” propeller wheels Thanks

I’m looking for the same info. In the meantime here is a pic I found of the glass showing it’s mounting points. Kev

Link to American jag dealer site that has exploded parts diagrams for jaguar range (V6 linked but other models are there if you search). I appreciate it’s also available on topix but Should be useful if you need a quick lookup for a part number and maybe where it fits without having to create...

Every morning on my drive to work whilst listened in to the radio at a certain point on my journey just after a tunnel the radio jumps back or rewinds a few seconds and repeats what has just been heard. As this happens at the same point in the journey I’m thinking it must be either a...

I’ve always thought automatics could be held in gear on the brake at lights. The ftype handbook says that this should not be done for long periods but but doesn’t say how long. I guess that there is an assumption that the eco mode auto stop will mean this doesn’t happen. So for those that...

I was retrieving an item that fell down behind the cup holder ( don’t leave anything thin on top of the lid before opening or it dissapears!) and noticed what appears to be a small circular speaker about 1.5 inches across in the front of the storage bin, between the bin and the cup holders...
