I've never noticed a petrol smell on startup, even when the car has been sitting for 4 or 5 days. MIne's a V8, maybe there's a differencee with the V6 engines (but I can't imagine why)?
If you have a code reader you could check if any codes are set.
Hope you get to the bottom of it!

Re: First Impressions
Bear in mind that the heated and cooled seats don't use a heating element but Peltier cells and fans to supply the conditioned air through the leather. Don't expect them to be as hot as electric pads, but they should definitely be hot.

Re: Let The Honeymoon Commence!
Selling F-Types must be the easiest job in the world - just let the customer see it and drive it. Job done! :D And you're right that they are surprisingly frugal for a big V8 - I got 34 mpg when I took a friend to Heathrow airport from Southampton. Have you noticed that the start button backlight pu...

Re: Boutons collants
The US forum has numerous threads about this issue, which seems to be more affected in warmer climes, and had been resolved, I believe, around MY18.

Re: Hi There - From Potential 'R' Owner In Lincolnshire!
The same can't be said for a vehicle costing £30K upwards as both parts and labour will be exponentially greater due simply to the prestige value of the marque - although this is only my personal opinion of course. Not "only" a personal opinion - a very sensible one! :) If you're buying a...

How many miles? I think ZF's recommendation is 60,000 miles per change.

Re: Adjust the bonnet
If you adjust the bumper, make sure your headlamp washer jets still retract fully (ask how I know). Hmm, that's interesting. I use my washer jets so rarely that it doesn't matter but I've noticed that one of the headlamp washers doesn't retract fully because its cover gets stuck and doesn't manage ...

Some people have had issues with the roof motors getting "drowned" when the drains have become blocked.

Re: MY15 Nav Question
The antenna has caused problems to some people in the past. Make sure your battery has plenty of charge and see if the fault fixes itself - I've had a couple of instances where it goes a bit weird but it's always sorted itself out.
