    Engine y smell in cab when giving it the beans

    I'm not sure if this is something I should be concerned about, but when "giving it the beans" (usually paddles in Manual Sport Mode), sometimes there is a smell in the cab. Hard to describe, but I'd say its "engine" It doesn't happen all the time, and doesn't hang around long. This is my...

    Service Centre recommendations North East

    I'm fast approaching my 2nd year service (650miles off the 12K that is) Does anyone have any good (or bad) experiences with official Jag servicing in the Northeast? I'd planned on using Stratstone a Houghton-le-Spring as they are most local, but heard they all that great. The dealership I...

    Finally joined the club for real

    Collected my dream mobile at the weekend and couldn’t be happier. Even after all the research and testdrives I’m still buzzing about how this car looks and drives. I had an economic drive up’t north from the dealership in Wakefield, promptly removed the Hatfield’s stickers (seriously, why?)...

    Service in Castle Bromwich - Should this be a concern?

    Cool! I'll continue digging. Hopefully the car is arriving next week, and I'm tempted to put a deposit down. The whole topic of brakes disc health got me down another research path :) Suppose these are the things I need to make a list of before I see the car in the flesh. Hard to tell from...

    Ceramic Coating – Buff or Bluff?

    While haggling (yet another possible deal) over cost to exchange the other day, the dealer mentioned they could offer ceramic coating and interior leather protection for £399. This seems a bit too cheap to me, as I was always told the prep work takes ages, otherwise you might be left with...

    History Check Please

    VK69 HZG Bit of an unusual one this. The dealer is telling me its an "engineer car" that was used to demo the new facelift model in the year prior to it being released. I'm having real issues trying to nail it down for insurance as its bring up the SVR and R versions of the previous shape...

    Hello from the nearly North

    Hi there, I stumbled across this wonderful forum while on my daily F-Type browsing. I live in the Northeast of England and have been slowly tracking my dream car over the past 6 months as the prices get more realistic. Getting seriously itching feet now and hoping the right deal comes up soon...
