Some advice required, or maybe just for me to vent a little. I had my car serviced at a main dealer a couple of months ago, just before we went on a trip to Switzerland. They made a note that the tyres were wearing slightly unevenly and that a 4 wheel alignment would be a good idea. The price...

Hi All, One of the 2 central brackets that attach from the black splitter up to the body have come detached on my car. The bracket bolts to the car on one end, but the other end is attached to the splitter by what looks like some fancy double sided tape. I tried using some 3M double sided pads...

Looks like a nice dark grey F-Type R was on the transporter in the vid, hopefully no-one here was waiting for delivery! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-kent-66621548

I have a MY18 with the sport seats. The ones that have the leather seatbelt guide. They've started to make lots of noise as the seatbelt moves over them when driving. Very annoying when it's right next to your ear. I tried putting some leather conditioner on them hoping that would stop it, but...

Lovely blue convertible in the vets car park this evening in Devizes. Great colour in the evening sun!

Any one know how to get the panel at the rear of the boot off. This is the part that has the emergency release attached. Looks like it’s held on by some wierd fasteners and I can’t work out how to get it off. One bolt away from getting my rear light out!

I managed to catch the rear bumper on a lamp post yesterday. My first car damage in about 20 years! :cry: The bumper scuff can be sorted by one of those smart repairs easily enough, but I've managed to crack the rear light cluster too. I reckon if i can remove it, I might be able get loads of...

As per the title really! A few weeks ago, I took my MY18 V8R into a local dealer to have an O2 sensor replaced under warranty. When I booked I told them not to apply any software updates. I left a note in the car that said: "NO SOFTWARE UPDATES", I told the person who took my keys and was...

Just got the SGS jack today. It looks like from other posts that the jacking point at the rear is between the three large bolts on the support plate. Just given it a go, and the low profile SGS trolley jack has plenty of clearance, but not enough reach to get to the support plate. The body of...

Hi All, Does anyone have any recommendations for a trolley jack that will definitely fit under, and reach the jacking points on a 2017 V8R? It's really just to be able to get the wheels off for a proper clean occasionally, so don't want to spend too much. From what I can find out, it seems the...

Hi all, I've been searching around for some more info on checking and unblocking the roof drains on a MY13, but I've not been able to find much information on where the drains are located and where they go. My searches have turned up a few stories about roof motors being destroyed, so would...
