F Type Convertale Issues

Afternoon peeps, Firstly, I just wanted to say hello as I am new to this forum and the world of jaguar. I have in the past flirted with TVR's, Alfa Romeo', Maserati to but name but a few and I thought I would give Jaguar a go. After months of research I decided on a Convertable F Type 3.0 V6S, a lov...

Hi,
I don’t suppose you have any pictures of it going into the car. I have an F Type Convertible.

Re: Vents

Evening Gents, noticed your discussion on vents, I have a question. When the vents rise up from the centre console, they don’t automatically drop, when either the engine is switched off or the air conditioning is turned off, any ideas...??

Leaving the car with the roof down??

Morning peeps, such a beautiful day. Hence we will be popping out the F Type, what’s the alarm situation if we leave the car with the roof down and locked.?
Will it constantly go off, is there a special mode??
Cheers

Re: Stone chips

You can just touch them up but in my opinion they do tend to stand out. You can get a body shop to touch them up or do a full respray of the affected panel. All depends on how bad it is, how many there are, how much you want to spend and how much you love your car. I suggest getting a couple of quot...

Re: Weekend Toy or Daily Drive ?

I have had mine for five days now and she has much better mpg than my Lexus so she is my daily runner. Until the weather improves and I can start using the motorbike but is going to be a tough decision not to take the F Type..😀🤪

I have tried to be good, just pottering along at 70mph on the M4 but I have found, it really doesn’t take much to get the absolutely gorgeous and addictive exhaust note....

Afternoon Gebts, reading with interest as I have just purchased an F Type Cabriolet, just wondering whether I should use a snow foam lance and subsequent lance to wash it off. Any issues with water ingress etc. I used to snow foam my car twice, then use a two bucket method, then snow foam again, was...
