Re: Jaguar F-Type Base V6 manual on the track?

Hmm OK I didn't know. Yeah I know they are rare - the V6S manuals are even more so! But there are a couple of manual base V6s for sale currently on mobile.de. Some with quite tempting pricing.

Thanks for the tip though, will check out the US forums.

Now, my only motorized wheels are a 2.0 litre diesel Passat (RHD!) occassionally battling Tokyo traffic. :roll: So, I will buy a track car (or a car with the sole purpose of taking to the track) that I will keep i...

Re: Something went wrong when installing Jaguar charger kit

When you were connecting the black cable and had sparks that may have been caused by accidentally moving the existing cable from the earth connection and temporarily disconnecting the battery. It may be that the power close needs to be reset and recalibrated. Somebody on here may be able to advise ...

Re: Something went wrong when installing Jaguar charger kit

From the manual on power boot and bleeps. Note If a valid smart key cannot be detected within 1 m of the rear of the vehicle, the tailgate does not power-close. An audible warning sounds to indicate a mislock. Note If the tailgate is closed manually, the vehicle searches for a valid smart key. If n...

Re: Something went wrong when installing Jaguar charger kit

Well, when I push the button to close the lid there are three beeps and then nothing. The lid doesn't move an inch. This happens whether I have the charger connected or not.

Re: Winter storage for F-Type R

I would get an indoor car cover, as its amazing how much dust collects while the car is sitting. I bought one from "Every Car Covered" & am very happy with it. There are lots of choices out there, but OEM Jaguar will rip you off price wise. What works for me is :- Wash the car, ensuri...

Winter storage for F-Type R

Hi guys, My F-Type is now parked for the winter for the first time during my ownership. What should I do to ensure it is taken care of properly? Increase the tire pressure? Connect a battery maintainer/ conditioner? Put in dehumidifiers? The car will be stored indoors in a warm garage. Grateful for ...
