I have the Jaguar OEM car mats and I fitted a piece of aluminium tread plate on the driver’s side mat a few years ago. Before doing so I looked at the area where my heel makes contact with the mat. The plate is approx 1.5mm thick and measures 25cm x 16cm. I used 1/8" aluminium pop rivets and...

The left-hand side door window glass on my car was recently making a scraping noise when opening/closing it so I decided to give the waist seals a deep clean to get rid of any stubborn dirt/debris etc. Since doing so the window operation is smooth as silk. For those who haven’t done it before...

There are numerous posts online explaining how difficult it is to remove and refit the front brake caliper springs so I thought I’d post the technique I use which makes it easy. My car has the Jaguar High Performance Braking System (380mm front brake discs / 325mm rear brake discs with red...

I've created this topic due to a discussion which started after seeing photo/s of the coupe rear quarter glass here https://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=90981#p90981 Taken from TOPIx... “TV Antennas – Coupe There are four TV antennas in the Coupe version. TV1 and TV2 antennas are...

I’ve created this topic as it’ll be easier to refer to if need be regarding the aluminium upper and lower coolant outlet pipes. During a recent discussion on this forum (Coolant Leakage Plastic Pipes) https://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=9031 member Crezzer posted... This included a...

I recently noticed a water droplet very slowly dripping from the plastic vent on the driver’s side (UK) boot interior side panel. I checked the boot floor trim panels to see if they were dry and also removed the storage and battery covers to check for any water pooling on the boot floor...

The F-TYPE maximum wading depth is 150mm (6 inches) and the maximum wading speed is 4 mph (7 km/h) as shown in the ‘Technical Specifications – Dimensions’ on https://www.ownerinfo.jaguar.com/ If driver’s are unaware, forget or ignore this, it could be one of the reasons that some car’s have had...

I’ve been considering buying a NOCO portable lithium-ion battery jump starter pack (starter and protective case) for some time. What put me off is that going back a while ago the positive connection popped off my car’s battery after I’d gone out for a drive and parked the car up. At the time I...

Only recently I’ve found out that my 2016 car has the windscreen wipers ‘Service Position’ facility which moves the wipers towards the centre of the windscreen for wiper blade maintenance. In this position it’s easier to change the driver’s side (UK) wiper blade. However, it’s easier to change...

After reading the following two posts, I’ve created this topic. The posts are correct in saying that the engine does not have hydraulic lifters (hydraulic tappets). However, with regards to the valve clearances, they’re already in spec as stated in the TOPIx information for the V6, shown...

I’ve recently noticed that when opening the powered tailgate by pressing the button on the underside of it, there’s a loud click. Checked all around the tailgate area and everything appeared to be ok. It turned out to be the pin inside the offside bumpstop rubber. I unscrewed the rubber from the...

I’ve recently had ‘Michelin Pilot Sport 5’ tyres fitted on the fronts (245/40 ZR19 98Y). They have superseded the ‘Michelin Pilot Sport 4’ tyres which have been on my car for the past 3 years or so. The PS5 has some improvements over the PS4 including grip, braking performance, aquaplaning...
