More active exhaust problems and possible solutions

Hi My V6s is suffering from the squeaky active exhaust valve problem. It's annoying and embarrassing as it is very evident at low speeds. It's a 2014 car and the warranty won't cover a replacement back box and I really can't justify £1500+ for a replacement unit, so I am looking for other fixes. I h...

Re: Everyday F Type Photo thread

Took the F type along to a kit/replica car show which I have attended for years with my previous cars.
Not sure I'd be welcome but was invited to show the car on the DNA Ferrari stand by my old club pals.
Not sure they believed me when I said it was a kit based on a BMW Z3. :lol:

Re: Active Exhaust Stuck Closed

Sadly not.
I am going to have a go myself when I take the car to my mates garage and put it on his lift.

Re: Active Exhaust Stuck Closed

Copper slip. My exhaust valves were squeaking and I wasn't about to shell out £1400 for a new back box so I got the technician to apply copper slip at my last service. They were a bit sniffy about it to start with, now they want me to report back as it might be a fix they use on other squeaky f type...

Re: New Series of Top Gear, 8pm tonight

Likewise, I find the new trio annoying to watch, so I don't.
Took out Amazon Prime so I could watch the Grand Tour which is much more acceptable.
Last series they did a very amusing episode about 'Old Jaaaags', funny.

Hi
You can view it yourself, you just need to set up a user name and password.

If you get your car serviced at a non JLR garage you can update the service history yourself.
It's a useful site, I'd recommend all owners register.

Re: Online Service History not up to date

I had the same thing. The previous owner had a service at the Bristol JLR dealership but they hadn't updated the on-line serrvice history. I was looking for my local dealer to carry out some warranty work but they said that the warranty would be void as my service history showed a missed service. :o...

Re: Who's over 50 on here!!

I Like these upbeat replies.
On a positive note, reaching 50 in a few weeks means I will be very close to retirement at 52.
According to my Retirement Countdown App, I have 840 days until I can polish the F all day.
