    fitting a replacement headlight

    The inevitable DRL failure has affected my headlight, just as I am thinking of selling my F Type. If I sourced a replacement used headlight, how difficult would it be to replace the actual headlight? Would it need to be coded in, and would it need anything extra like a ballast?

    O2 Sensor

    I think I need a new o2 sensor and it seems like a common issue. How much is this to get replaced? Thanks in advance.

    Making a 550bhp R faster than a p575

    I posed this question on an F Type Facebook group, and although we didnt reach a correct answer there were some interesting responses. So... Looking at the official figures the F Type R does 0 - 60mph in 4.1 seconds. The newer F Type 575 does 0 - 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. How does it achieve this...

    Alloy wheels fitment sizes

    I am looking at getting new alloys but I'm unsure of the sizing. They are 20 inch wheels and wider at the back, but I need to know the width and offset, can anyone help?

    V8 Supercharger pulley upgrade and remap

    Paramount performance are currently offering a reduced price supercharger pulley and remap, taking the bhp from 550 to 615/625 bhp. My question is, has anyone had this done and did you notice much of an increase in power and acceleration in a real world environment? It is already a very fast car...

    Audio upgrade

    I have the basic Meridian system and I'm keen to upgrade it without breaking the bank. How could I do this? Would it be simple enough to install an amplifier and better speakers and sub in the space of the existing speakers? Would I need to install a separate sub in the boot?

    Thanks!

    Thanks to everyone that helped with giving me advice on buying an F Type. The idea was to buy a V6 but that soon changed to a V8 (and the budget moved a little north too :o ), and today I picked up my new 2017 V8 R. It's got all the bits I wanted, pan roof, fixed spoiler, performance heated...

    Chinese P7 style grill and surround

    Hi guys, I really like the P7 style grill and surround. I think it gives the front of the cars a clean look. There are a couple of reputable UK places online that sell a replica P7 grill and surround for circa £750. I have found a Chinese equivalent for around £150. It says it's carbon fibre...

    Rarest F-Type colour you've seen...?

    This is the rarest factory colour I have seen, its Madagascar Orange ultra metallic satin finish premium paintwork. I can imagine its a pain when you get stone chips!

    P450 or 550 how to tell?

    I viewed a 5 litre F type today on a 2019 plate. I looked through the paperwork and noticed it was a P450 version. I thought all pre facelift were 550bhp? How do I know if a 5 litre F type is 450bhp or 550bhp?

    Choice of 2 V8's.... (note, not V6 lol!)

    Hi all Thanks to everyone who contributed to my choice of V6 thread. I do like the 400 Sport, however... I did some classic man maths and realised it would not cost a lot more than the V6 to run. So with that in mind I have found two V8s that fit my budget and requirements of FSH, fixed...

    Slight ticking sound from engine

    I viewed a 2017 F Type today (the 400 sport for those of you following the other thread). The car sounded fine while running but when I lifted the bonnet I noticed a slight ticking sound. Is this normal or a potential problem?
