Re: How to jack an F-type?

Here are the correct jacking point locations for the F Type (black dots). I'm sure this has been flagged before. Jaguar cut and pasted an ailian into the manual.

Re: GC motors SVR

I keep coming back to this car, I wonder how easy it is to obtain the original interior panels.

Unfortunately you'll need a female thread for the studs.
M12 x 1.5 I think! Perhaps someone can confirm.
