Re: Solved: Speed Sensor fault (Adaptive dynamics fault/ ABS Fault/ stability control etc)

When it happened to my car, once it failed, it didn’t ever start up again without the warning, and the warning never disappeared.

If yours does start up ok, or comes on after a while, that suggests to me maybe not a failed sensor?

Re: Coolant expansion tank empty when hot?

Through the side of the expansion tank! :lol: you cannot see any visible line of coolant through the visible window of the coolant tank, after the car has been out for a run. It was serviced a few weeks back, could an air gap have been created by mistake when replacing the coolant? I’ve got a 200 mi...

Coolant expansion tank empty when hot?

Should the coolant measure be the same regardless if the engine is hot or cold? The other day I noticed a slight occasional hiss coming from my 2016 V6s when cooling after a run out. I decided to keep an eye on all the fluids to see if there was a leak. When the engine has cooled for a good few hour...

Wing mirror button rattle

So I have a very annoying rattle cause by any bass in music when the volume is above about 10. My VIN number is after the warranty bulletin that adds sound deadening material, supposedly the speaker rattle issue should have been solved by the time mine was produced (2016) I’ve realised the main culp...

Re: Everyday F Type Photo thread

Was at the top gear track yesterday for a lovecars event. Unfortunately that was the one day where it decided to bucket down with torrential rain making the drag strip more of a swimming pool. Had one race against a Rolls Royce Wraith with a 6.6l V12... unfortunately I did not win! Got some good pho...

Re: Is this normal?

I get the same soot marks on the exhausts, usually after a very 'spirited' drive.
Yet to have an MOT so can't comment on that

Leaving car for 4 months.

I was wondering if anyone had left their car sat for 4 months or so before? I'm away next year, and have two options... 1) SORN the car, leave it sat in a private car park (free to use below my apartment). My insurance is about £1,400 a year, so this would 'save' me about £460 on insurance. There's ...
