Having owned many sports cars I can say that none so far have had so many of the TATA India electrics problems .. Its not just electrics and I get a little Dismayed when I See things like replacement windows and seals being reported year on year and JLR seeming unwilling or unable to sort this out in production.<div> </div><div>Hopefully 2018MY will have some of the issues amended in Production so this car can be enjoyed and driven and I don't end up getting Invites to the staff party at the dealership.<img src="http://www.ftypeownersclub.co.uk/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif" height="17" width="17" border="0" alt="LOL" title="LOL" /></div>

No car is going to be immune or perfect, and will have problems electrical or otherwise. 997.1 RMS, M3 connecting rod bearings to name a few sports cars that have had issues. <div>Kind of narrows your field down a little, doesn't it?</div><edited><editID>Megatron</editID><editDate>2017-04-03 20:38:54</editDate></edited>
The VXR8 Bathurst S that I had went through the following in my period of ownership:<br /><br />2 x Rear Main Seals<br />1 x Clutch<br />1 x Gearbox<br />1 x Air conditioning pulley and belt<br />1 x Exhaust Manifold<br /><br />Now I know it was a "Vauxhall" but it wasn't really... the drivetrain was meant to be one of the most solid out there! This was in 18 months and 13,000 miles.<br /><br />Seb<edited><editID>A400Seb</editID><editDate>2017-04-03 20:45:48</editDate></edited>
ddsk, you love bashing the F dont you lol<br>The problem with forums is you only hear the unhappy customers not the happy customers, also remember this was a brand new car and most of the problems albeit a pain in the arse are mostly teething problems.<br>Luckily i and quite few others havent had any problems what so ever<img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" alt="Big smile" title="Big smile" /><br>
Man your dumb ...A NEW CAR where have you been the last 4 years ? get real .. pointing out real issues is not bashing .if you want to be an apologetic sympathiser for JLR ..good on you . people come on these forums for the truth from people with hands on experience not for sugar coated candy eaten with rose tinted specs.<div> </div><div>with over 35 years of a wide and varied range of vehicle's under my hat I feel that I am has qualified as any to make a fair assessment and judgement of the f type with my hands on experience. People would probably be happier to come on here and get the good and the bad from owners and then I am sure they are big enough to make their own minds up</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>The F Type is still on my shopping list but I will wait and see how the 2018MY fairs ...Meantime I shall enjoy my New Roadster this Summer<img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley32.gif" height="17" width="18" border="0" alt="Clap" title="Clap" />.</div>

I think most people come on these forums to enhance the ownership experience, share issues for advice, and to help out like minded people (because we all clearly have the same taste), rather than being called dumb or a sympathiser for not having the ownership experience you have had.<br /><br />Don't presume you know what we think and don't think that because you've owned a few cars you can patronise people you know nothing about. <br /><br />It's a shame your experience has been not a good one but unless I've misjudged this forum your attitude is the exception rather than the rule.<br /><br />Oh and it's "you're".<br /><br />You're welcome.<edited><editID>Megatron</editID><editDate>2017-04-09 06:02:20</editDate></edited>
I had a minor issue with my car this week. I had a major issue with the supplying dealer who was a snidey ferret of a liar. Those exepetiences are fully sorted and forgotten. <br /><br />Do I care? No. The car is simply the best I've ever owned, heard and driven. I'll have to sell in the future as it represents all my cash and that will be a sad day. <br /><br />The point is, special cars stir the soul so much, issues can be forgiven. Let's face it, JLR are replacing a members car he rejected on here but I haven't heard of any other episodes that serious (other I'm guessing, than yours). It must be very rare to have an issue that can't be sorted. <br /><br />I had a 4.3BV TVR Griffith back in the day. Owned it a year and in that time it made the 300 mile trip back to the dealers on a flat bed 10 times to be sorted for niggles. It cost me nothing other than time away. Did I hate it? No, I loved that car. <br /><br />Get my drift?<edited><editID>MOz</editID><editDate>2017-04-09 06:54:11</editDate></edited>

It was 14 years old though, made a lovely noise!<br />Steve.

DDK, my understanding is that forums is for like minded individuals to share their ideas or experiences and to give constructive feedback.<div></div><div>Resorting to name calling is counterproductive and is unlikely to get your point across. I have owned a few AMGs and can will agree that the general build quality (and quality of internal plastics and general trim) should be better.</div><div> </div><div>However I bought my F type for emotional reasons, primarily the handling, engine note and response and the brilliant design.</div><div> </div><div>Based on the comments you have been making I am somewhat confused as to why you would want to buy "A POOR MANS rip off Aston Martin Built by an Indian company with Chinese parts" </div>

Hello<br /><br />we can remove him .. well I could but I am not a moderator, the XE forums on occasions have this child like behaviour .. just like the Z4 forum when I used to be a member.<br />You can find the IP address and do it that way, and when they change like they always do again you can just ban by the IP address also you get to know the pattern of the childish comments.<br /><br />But as said we need a report button and a active moderator<br /><br />regards<br />
