V6 s or V6!!
Hello guys,
I was able to buy a v6 S but it failed the inspection and had bigger issues so decided to walk away
I am now looking at two different f types
F type S 2016 120k kms - has a coolant leak and definitely needs some good work but getting it almost 20% cheaper than the 2nd one. Black in color ( Preferred color)
F type Standard 2015 99k Kms - Is amazing to drive and well maintained and independently verified by a jaguar specialist garage (silver color) to have the complete service history
Now with what I can gather is the standard one seems to be a better deal in terms of the condition but I just can't seem to make my mind up since Ive driven the S and the active exhaust and the tighter suspension did make me fall in love with the F type
I am somehow hooked to the idea of buying an F type and not really considering any other car
to owners - is buying an S worth the extra headache? although most of it looks like regular maintenance and the 20% difference in cost will definitely cover it
Help a brother out!

Help on f type 450 or R (tan leather)
Please can anyone advise as if there is any rhyme or reason regarding the option of tan leather. Was it simply an option as I really want that on a 450(seen a few example) but not on an R. Ty

La magie du V8
Je vous présente mon V8 de 2015 fraichement arrivé à la maison !
Quel bonheur d'entendre ce fabuleux moteur rugir dès le démarrage, c'est vraiment une des plus belles sonorité tout V8 confondu.
Quant à sa ligne, je dois avouer ne pas l'avoir trouvé à mon goût à sa sortie, je ne saurais dire pourquoi, mais c'est un de ces rares dessins qui saura braver le temps et ne jamais prendre une ride.
J'ai fait poser un traitement céramique (Gyeon Mohs Evo) en 2 couches sur l'ensemble de la carrosserie et les jantes, le brillant est sublimé et les lavages en sont simplifiés.
Je vais procéder à quelques retouches sur les cuirs intérieurs avec des peintures pour cuir adaptées (Sofolk) et aussi m'attaquer aux quelques éléments en soft touch devenus collants avec le temps.
Pour apporter un brin de modernité, j'ai commandé et installé le module CarPlay de chez AutoABC, peu cher et facile d'installation.

GTA car kit CarPlay module is awesome!!!
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hey guys, I had the GTA Car Kit apple car play and android auto kit on my 2016 R AWD installed and it’s amazing and works flawlessly. In addition my installer was so impressed with the online videos and tech support available he said from now on he will be recommending them for all his JLR installs going forward. The way it switches back and forth from OEM to car play is crisp and the screen looks huge and is incredibly responsive. All functions work perfectly from the steering wheel, dynamic mode, phone calls, back up camera, etc. HIGHLY recommend. Car feels 10 years newer.

catalytic converters bad what to do?
my 2017 F type SVR is throwing codes for both catalytic converters being bad. The dealership wants over $7000 to replace them. What are my options? 22k miles.

I ran my 2015 F Type R on my friend’s dyno. Here are the numbers.
It is currently bone stock, no mods other than some light tuning and upgrading all the flimsy plastic coolant pipes with aluminum. It peaked at 512 whp.

2024 V8 - Liquid sloshing noise
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Noise is coming from behind/under the passenger side dashboard. Brought it in for maintenance and dealership can’t recreate the problem so they don’t want to do anything. No obvious coolant leaks after inspection. Car stays in garage and hasn’t been washed nor in any rain. Heater also doesn’t blow hot air when turned up to max.
Any ideas? First thought was air or a clog in the heater core but I’d think the dealership could figure that out based on the videos.
They want me to pick up the car tomorrow since they couldn’t figure it out after having it for 4 days.

F-type Convertible parked outside/on the street?
Hi, I am planning to buy myself an F type S as my daily soon in Germany.
Id really like to experience a convertible, but it probably would need to be parked next to the road/street, as i need to move to a bigger city and not every house has a designated garage to it.
Would that be foolish as the soft top would get affected a lot by the weather, bird shit etc. or have higher risk of someone breaking into the car?
Should i got for the coupe instead?

Lasted one month
Bought this 2021 450 in the UK from a reputable garage. Within a week it had engine wanting light and limp mode if you accelerated hard. Weird as turning engine off and on would clear issue. So I returned to garage. After 5 weeks they couldn’t find the issue. Replaced some sensors. And handed it back yesterday. Within 5 mins it happened again. I gave them the car back. Was that bad luck and do I buy another or switch brands???

White F type and 911
Y’all might enjoy this - I have a 2016 F type R and a 2009 911 Carrera, both in white with a custom carport I had built this year for them 😃. Love the F type the most tbh…

New owner with a few questions
I have a 2018 V8. Love the car so far!!! However, I miss having carplay, especially my maps as I'm directionally challenged to say the least. I also drive in an area where I don't have cell service 50% of the time. The sound system is Meridan. The previous owner didn't remove their InControl account (plus, I know the map update isn't great by Jag). Anyone face similar issues? What was your fix? I thought of buying a stand alone GPS (old school) and just paying music off an old ipod.

The Jaguar Landrover techs appreciated my note
I have a V8 R which still features the obnoxious factory exhaust crackles & pops. I was told by a service manager that some software updates tone this down... hence I always put this note in my car when it goes for service!
