    What Colour?

    I don't know what they are all talking about, probably just jealous as they don't have the best colour - Bluefire :D In reality, they all look great so chose one that suits your personality. I love IRR or the Yellow but they don't suit me.

    What have you done to your F Type today?

    I used the final of my Christmas presents today. Previously I've used the others (metal foot rest plate, jag leaper puddle lights, and all the cleaning gear I got including speed wax). So today was a clean then drive to Thruxton in my lovely shiny car: Followed by my final xmas present...

    Android auto split screen - change app?

    I regularly use android auto and today I used Car Scanner to monitor oil temperature - I've used torque pro for years but car scanner works with android auto so can be on the main screen. Anyway, whilst I can open car scanner fine in android auto, I realised I want the split screen with Sat nav...

    Phone connects via Bluetooth as soon as unlocked

    I've been caught a few times by my phone connecting to the Bluetooth and starting to play a podcast as soon as the car is unlocked. Eg cleaning the car or doing a task, I unlock the car and suddenly either my phone disconnects from my headphones and connects to the car, or I don't have...

    Fuse 15 Remote control

    I’ve now fitted my remote control for Fuse 15 and all seems to be working so I thought I’d write up how to do it for under £24. Credit for this goes to Jag Bass on the US forum, post 17 here: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f-type-x152-72/active-exhaust-button-fuse-43-a-213500/ And to LMS...

    DIY service vs independent specialist

    I don't think I'm going to go down the route of my own services but it is a topic I've wondered about. On the US forum there is clearly a lot of people that do their own oil changes and other service items, going to garages for bigger things. When buying my car I was very conscious of the...

    Remote app not connecting to car

    So I registered the remote app but without paying for a subscription, more so I could ensure the old owner couldn't track me and turn up one day like a scene from Psycho, rather than the additional features it can give. But whilst the app appeared to connect (when I pressed the button during...

    Reversing camera guide line advice

    The other day I was parallel parking in the dark when raining and was nervous relying on the reverse camera guide lines - I felt like I was a long way from the curb but the yellow lines suggested I was close. I ended up touching the curb so clearly I was wrong. Having now read through manual...

    Soot (?) from under engine area

    My car got an engine warning light within 5 miles of collecting it and the garage seem to be dealing with it well (garage local to me fitted a new O2 sensor today and warranty is paying directly). But whilst car isn't in the drive I noticed a watery black mark on the drive, it will have come...

    Finally arrived

    Just a bit of evidence to say having been searching for what seems like ages, I finally have one, picture here to prove it (might be a while till get a sunny picture of it, and didnt feel like chopping my mother in laws roses to get a clean photo!) Now for the 200 mile drive home (smiling all...

    Car check - I've partly done it

    I think I've found a good one this time so interested to hear thoughts. Having previously tested the p450 I fell in love and realised I had to dig further into my wallet. Reg WM21 AUE. I plan on test driving this weekend. It failed its last MOT due to a bulge on the rear tyre which was then...

    Youtube F-Type buying guide

    Saw this and thought it covered almost all of the potential F-Type specific issues to look for when buying so thought it useful to some. (He didn't mention the central air vent can get stuck) One thing I didn't like was with them all listed in one place, even though he says the cars are...

    Car check - I've partly done it

    SimpleR, On the above OV20VEA, I was concerned it was very close to your list of cars used for events/press. I got the VIN and sure enough it was first PDId by Paragon Fleet so similar to the last one I asked about, though it seems to have only done 1800 miles with them before going back to a...

    Car check - I've partly done it

    Thinking of viewing this car as it has most of the specs I'd like, it is a MY19 V6 380. I've so far looked at the service history (VIN was in their photos and I think I copied it correctly). My main thought is lots of details on what was done but doesn't mention rear diff oil so I'll ask about...

    Warranty options

    I'm considering viewing a MY19 car this weekend (will post separately for a check of the car) but wanted a heads up on warranty. Previously I've bought cheaper cars and the warranty they normally offer doesn't actually cover much so I rely more on my luck than the warranty (eg RAC type...
