Re: Purchasing a Used F-Type

As a 2014 owner I'd say they are pretty built proof, but look for all the usual things on a car with 10 years of use Not sure about the climate where you are, but in the UK there are some issue with rear cross members corroding. It's rarely structural but a bit more than just cosmetic. Certainly wor...

Re: Diff oil spec for a MY2018 V6 340hp

Giving AI it's free rein but quoting seeing the exact spec. it provides the following info: The equivalents of Castrol BOT 750B is Castrol Syntrax Long Life 75W-90 This is mentioned as an equivalent in a few discussions. It’s used for both front and rear differentials1. It seems to be the same as Sy...

Re: Thoughts?

No way would I drive a performance car not knowing how safe the wheel was. Rim made of bent rod with weak splatter welds and an inner cast in monkey metal where the splines sheer on the first hard turn of the wheel.
No saying it would, but I couldn’t live with it. Looks awful too.

Re: Carbon brake mounting pins

I'm confused. I was presuming you would remove two of the five studs, install said rods, then remove the other studs and wheel slides off over the rods without falling off or hitting caliper. Hence you would need a threaded end. F Types use M12 1.5 Wheel nuts (or lugs as US would call them) https:/...

Re: Side skirts...

I would like to buy a pair, and have them carbon wrapped and fitted. Any advise on who to buy from? Bob, It’s perhaps worth pointing out that there are at least 3 or 4 different designs of sideskirt across years and derivatives. I opted for the 400 series as correct for a V6 but had a better profil...

Re: Side skirts...

You can easily remove the sills complete with skirts then detach the skirts from the sills as they are just held together with 6 torx bolts. That makes it easy to respray.
I'm sure they could also be wrapped in situ.

Re: 1954 Jaguar receipt

The killer for me is Purchase Tax at over 40%. That would sting.

Clearly a very extravagant purchase for the area. My parents purchased a large Victorian 3 bed detached house in Derby for £450 in May of the same year...
