Morning all Just about to buy a car cover for my 2014 coupe and have come across carcoversfactory.co.uk. Seems to be good value and decent (on the face of it) and was wondering whether anyone here has bought from them, especially a cover for an F-Type. Thanks Shaun

Evening all. I’ve got a 2014 340 and it’s due a service (last service was a year ago performed by the dealer I bought it from but it didn’t go online). It’s done 18k miles and I’m wondering whether to get it done at Harwoods keeping the online jag dealer history or at a local(ish) jag...

Hi all I was watching a youTube clip the other day and the guy driving it was doing a standing start test. It was an S that he was driving (I've got a MY 2014 V6 base model). He held his foot on the break and floored the accelerator and it kept it at 4k revs and effectively launched him. Is...

]Hi there I had a good look round for the snow formers and also had a chat with the company that did my ceramic coating. In the end I went for the same autoglym product (polar blast) and I’ve got a karcher jet nozzle, both from Amazon. After a bit of practice I now get decent results every...

Hi all I've been reading through a number of different topics on this forum around covers for the F-type. Mines outside on a drive and is used regularly, but I'm finding myself constantly cleaning her (especially with the Sahara sand rain we've been getting where I am) due to weather and also...

Half Leather/ Alcantara Seats – Jaguar F-Type 2014 3.0 Supercharged 340 Absolutely mint condition. No wear marks or leather/material cracks, as they’ve only had 11k miles of occasional wear. Only removed from my F-Type as I swapped them for full leather sports seats. Please note they don’t...

Hi all I've just read somewhere that you can substantially improve the comfort of the ride if you move away from run-flat tyres? I've currently got Pirelli P-zero run-flats on mine and it won't be too long until I have to change them, so was wondering whether anyone else has noticed any...

Update is he believes the seats are from a 2015/16. So wondering whether there were any major changes in terms of fitment from 2014 to 2015/16? They’re manual sliders the same as mine as well. Hi all Apologies, question #7634 from me on this forum! I’ve currently got the half leather seats in...

Hi all I’m still waiting for the second key fob from the dealer I bought the car from and they’re in turn waiting for the owner they were selling on behalf of to find it. Looking at a worse case that they can’t find it, anyone know how much a new fob would likely cost so I can discuss with...

Evening all. Anyone have a view on which type of petrol I should be putting in my 2014 V6 3.0 Supercharged F type? Up to now I’ve put in standard 95 unleaded, but a friend mentioned thinking about the higher octane 98 fuel? Any thoughts? Thanks Shaun

Hi all I've had a search for this on this and other forums and it seems to be only older replies and questions so wondering whether things have moved on in recent years/months. My F-type hasn't got cruise control and I was wondering whether anyone know of anywhere (main dealer or not) that...

Hi all Hope everyone is well and surviving the current English lockdown! So my story is I've had Jags for a number of years from X-types through to my latest which was the XF Sport for the last five years. Having blown a conrod a month ago (a known issue around the DPF filter apparently!) I...
