    Is this underbody corrosion in need of repair?

    Hi all, proud new (<6 months) owner of my dream car finally. Was taking a look at a potential flat tyre and thought I’d peek underneath, found these arms seem quite corroded? Is this something I should get repaired/looked at? Car has approved used warranty and as mentioned I’ve owned it for...

    F-Type whining under light acceleration (Rear diff?)

    Hi everyone, very new owner (<2 months) of a beautiful BRG 3.0L V6 F-Type. Loving every minute driving it… but I seem to have come across my first potential issue already! On dual carriageways or motorways, when maintaining speed and lightly pressing the accelerator at about 70mph, there is a...

    Supercharger condition check (pics inside)

    I know that water ingress through the vents above the supercharger is an issue. I’ve checked this for the F-Type I’m buying, how do these look?

    Approved Used warranty claims with missed services

    Morning all, Does anyone have any experience with making claims on the Approved Used warranty with a car (F-Type) that has had a significant service history gap? In this example, the car being sold has missed its 36, 48, and 60 month services (drove 16k miles in this time), but is being sold...

    Minor Exhaust Leak MOT Advisory

    Morning all, I’m in the market for an F-Type and found a seemingly good example aside from the MOT has this advisory: Exhaust has a minor leak of exhaust gases (6.1.2a) Does anyone have any experience with this or any idea of the cost worst case scenario?

    Dodgy service intervals

    Hi all, Was very close to becoming an owner and have just spotted a potential red flag, all the services are late. The first was completed 22 months after registration at 10k miles (confirmed by dealership), and then the 24 month check was completed after 36 months registration. The services...

    Is 40k mileage too high for an F-Type?

    Hi all, I’m looking at buying a 3.0L 2019 F-Type with 40k miles on the clock. My question is, is this too high for an F-Type? There are no signs of corrosion apart from on the bottom of the car, where there is some surface corrosion but I’m not too concerned.

    I just reserved a 2016 F-Type, what do I need to know?

    I’m 27, and this is my first ‘luxury’ (?) car, having driven a Ford Fiesta for many years now. I’d just like to know if there’s anything specific I should look out for when going to inspect/collect the car next weekend? The reg is: PX66 USJ It has 27k miles, 1 previous owner, and a FSH at the...

    Service Intervals

    How bad is it for an F-Type to have not had a yearly service interval? A low mileage 2015 V6S has just come up with the following service history: May 2023 / 16425 miles Oct 2020 / 10406 miles Mar 2019 / 7815 miles May 2017 / 4225 miles May 2016 / 2372 miles I unfortunately don’t have a reg...

    EX17 ELU

    I've just come across this car - a 2017 3.0L V6 with 42,000 miles, and apparently a FSH. Could anyone please advise on anything to look out for on this car? It's a private seller so would a third party warranty suffice?

    Two corroded (?) vents in the boot lid - what are these?

    I have just been to test drive a 2018 P300, it was a lovely drive but during my initial inspection I came across these (see attached images). What are these? They look corroded to me… Should I avoid this car? Thanks
