Re: Meridian System Poor

Sorry but I entirely agree with the thread starter having also created a related thread some time ago, the system is by far the worst 'premium' audio I've ever had. Other standard systems are far better and any 'acoustics in confined spaces' excuse is just nonsense. The rattles, vibrations and bass ...

Re: Firesand SVR, Most options, Immaculate

Ironically I nearly bought a caldera red MY17 for less money but high miles, changed my mind in the end as 21,000 odd was too many. As much as I love the coupe lines for my summer weather use only I should’ve bought the soft top! Looking at other options now but if someone out there is looking to lo...

Firesand SVR, Most options, Immaculate

Due to my fickle nature (18 months is pretty good for me) and an eye on something else I've decided to sell. 2016 MY Firesand Orange F-type SVR. Bought by myself from Chichester Jaguar with just 315 miles, previously a JLR static demonstrator first registered November 2017. Main dealer warranty unti...

Re: 310 mile 2016 Firesand SVR

Thread resurrection alert! My SVR is in the For Sale section, Thought I'd put it out there as the forum has been great in terms of info and assistance and perhaps someone is after one, many thanks to one and all!

Re: Meridien 380 upgrade options/cost

Thanks Paul, I was beginning to think I’m on my own here! Yes I’ve seen numerous U.S. threads with the same issues/opinions as us and some of their solutions. Did you see the one recommending the meridien reference speakers as they are Kevlar in areas and don’t have what seem like paper cones!? I ac...

Re: Meridien 380 upgrade options/cost

Cheers fella, something I've not tried regarding the seat so will give it a bash, excuse the pun! lol. It does get me thinking that perhaps there are further things I can do/try to improve things, I really don't want to spend that sort of money I likely won't. A quick search/google search finds othe...

Re: Meridien 380 upgrade options/cost

I guess I mean woeful in relation to the vehicle cost and comparable to other vehicles I've owned. I’ve found there are some owners of your opinion too, perhaps they’ve improved components and/or fittings/installations/damping on newer MY’s? The latter does niggle me in case some less costly damping...

Re: Meridien 380 upgrade options/cost

I agree, but perhaps not compared to the £990 charged by JLR for seemingly ONE improved central dashboard speaker, as is the jump from 380 to 770. Sure reference system in the RRS was around £6k too. The £3,500 includes two amps, new wiring, dynamat and 10 new speakers. As it is so much I asked the ...

Meridien 380 upgrade options/cost

I know this, or similar has been done before but I'm hoping to find some middle ground on cost/quality. I try to accept the sound quality but for me it is woeful compared to previous other cars. Yes I realise the acoustics in the coupe are different but I think it's well established that it's a poor...
