Re: F–Type production numbers 2022

Is that overall total sales figures? Read only 400ish XF & same for XE sold, in whole of Europe, last year. Think it was in Jaguar World. Very sad ☹️ Lots of V6 sold ,in comparison, to the other engines. Sensible folk out there know where the sweet spot is 😄 they didn't have parts to be able to...

Re: Seat comfort?

I too have the same problem with my 2016 V6S Coupe. Being 6' 3" tall, I find that I need to push the seat squab forward, so that I can tilt the backrest to an angle that gives me some comfort. Even so, on long journeys I find that I need to stop every 2 hours to get out and stretch my legs. Th...

Ride quality improvement needed

Hi All. I have a 2018 v6 r dynamic , love the car but my only gripe is the ride at low speed is a little hard for me. I think the thinner seats on the facelift cars dont help as i used to have an early v8 and that was fine. However , my car does not have configurable dynamics, i know its possible to...

Re: Nitrogen inflation and TPMS

Its very beneficial if you track a car. It keep's a more stable pressure than air during hot and cold cycle's. Not a huge benefit for normal road driving though other than it will be less likely to leak due to the molecule sizing.

Re: F-Type V6S 1 Year in - Now 2 years in

You will never hear of gear box problems on modern jags That's because Jag now use the ZF gearbox, same gearboxes as BMW :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Again, I can only go by my own experiences of owning both. Not sure if you've had bad fortunes with BMW's in the past, or just reading it on the internet....

Brake pad choice

Hi all
My standard pads on my V8s create an enormous amount of brake dust.
Are there any alternative brake pads out there other than the standard pads?
Hoping to find something less dusty. I have ceramic coated wheels but it still is a pain to have to wipe clean after every trip!.

Hood creases

Does anyone know of a good way to reduce the hood creases you get when you retract the hood ?
Ive heard some heat can help but wondered if anyone had any thoughts ?

F-type S 490hp rwd question from a newbie

i test drove both a v6s and v8s and loved both. However the V8s is just so damn exciting and the noise so wonderful I bought the v8. Sure it can get lairy if you drive it like an idiot, however the handling difference is not as great as some suggest and perfectly manageable if you leave the traction...
