    What have you done to your F Type today?

    First leg of a European tour complete without a hitch despite attracting the attention of some seagulls keen to leave a deposit at the Eurotunnel terminal and getting little sleep as PSG fans tried to execute doughnuts in the main square in Peugeot 306's until 1am.A few others are to join the...

    Loose Trim

    I have noticed that the trim behind the rear passenger wheel is loose.I can barely get my head under there(feel free to add humorous comments here!)but cannot see a clip.Perhaps it's glued so would welcome any advise.

    Bought a car I thought I would never own.

    Those wheels really do suit your car.I am sure you will continue to enjoy owning such a great looking vehicle and keep pinching yourself when you are admiring it's looks!

    Good Company

    Not often I post on this great and knowledgeable site but could not resist these pics as we tour France with some fellow car enthusiasts. These F-Types are such truly great cars but also gives you the opportunity to meet some fellow petrol heads along the way!

    Mobile Data

    After foolishly not driving the Jag for 3 weeks I paid the penalty with a dead battery. Having got the car back on the road everything seemed to return back to normal apart from the Sim card which the car is now not communicating with. I have tested the Sim and it works elsewhere and after...

    Polish for Exhaust Tips

    Has anyone got any good advise for what type of polish to use on the exhaust tips on a SVR.I used Mer and a light wire wool with Autosol on my previous XKR which worked well.I am not sure if this is the right combination for the SVR exhaust which is mostly a matt finish?
