No service history for the first 3 years?
Asked the same on pick up. My understanding was that the car was bought, run in and then stored, until re-emerging in 2019 to be sold. I bought it from Stratstone.

FOR SALE - cherished 340 V6 in BRG

My cherished F Type is up for sale as I am changing job. I’m OCD so I reckon this is about as good as it gets for a 2016 vehicle. I’ve owned the car from 1000 miles and am the second owner. Always garaged, the 46,200 miles have been clocked on the motorway between Devon and London. No track days and...

Re: Servicing - going to an independent

Thanks for the views and advice. I’ve bought dozens of cars over the years and haven’t worried too much about dealer history. Age, mileage, owners etc all matter, as well as the ‘feel’ you get for a car and whoever is selling it. Service history counts too of course, but on the types of cars I’ve hi...

Servicing - going to an independent

I have a 340 F type, which is due a five year service although it has only done 21,000 miles. Looking online, a dealership service would cost around £600 plus extras I presume. Jaguar independents appear to start at around one third of this. The attraction of a decent independent (Jaguar trained etc...

Re: Union Flag registration plates

Good range of replies! I think the UK flag looks good on the plate. I had mine done at Halfords so it’s not a boutique extra. I get that there are a range reasonable reasons not to show them, I’m just really surprised how few you see. I can’t get out of the habit of looking now (I’ll get over it!) b...

Union Flag registration plates

When it became clear that we were leaving the EU, I decided to take my EU plates off and replace them with plates that showed the union flag, which is entirely legal. Now when I travel around, I notice nearly everybody has taken their EU plates off but I appear to be almost alone among thousands of ...

Re: Corrosion on door

I’m still waiting for approval or refusal over 2 weeks on. The dealership tech guys (one from the paint shop; one mechanic) inspected the car and did paint depth checks etc to ensure nothing had been resprayed, which they confirmed It hadn’t. They seemed pretty clear is was corrosion, suggesting I c...

Re: Corrosion on door

Update....Lookers who now own Taggarts, are arranging for the warranty work. However, I was 'lucky' to get a courtesy car...a Seat Ibiza! Car will be off the road for a week!! Contacted Jaguar to see if they would help; car was bought new and financed through Jaguar dealership. They are not interes...

Re: Corrosion on door

By way of an update, car was bought from Taggarts of Glasgow; now part of Lookers. Took to their bodyshop and the technician took photos etc and said he would be in touch after speaking to warranty administrator. Didn't hint it would be an issue so fingers crossed. Ditto, although the Beadles bodys...
