Re: Would you buy the F-type if it sounded like a "normal" sports car?
I've had my car now for 5 years and the car is 9 years old - so I think I'm one of the few thats hung on to it for such a long period. Over here, people go through cars when they get "bored" after 1-2 years. I would not have bought it if it had simulated sound & for some reason my car ...

Drove a Jaguar XKR for the First Time !
The Jaguar XKR was (and still is) my dream Jaguar and when I learnt that it was no longer in production being replaced by the F type (this was before the FT was launched), I was devastated. Today I finally drove sleek Maroon 2013 XKR and wow, this car lived up to all my expectations. It's the lovech...

Re: Jaguar dealers closing in 2024
EV's are not being brought into South Africa (period) thus I've learnt that Jaguar will no longer be selling new cars locally at the end of 2024

Re: 2016 Battery Indicator
Well I hope I don't have any issues for the next 5 years at least. Too many electonics in cars today. The place where the battery resides is full of electronic boxes I counted probablye about 4 boxes

Re: 2016 Battery Indicator
Got this done today. Paid R5800 ($340) for a Varta battery. Seems ok. Auto stop still works and the hazard light is off when parked. It wasn't possible to let the car go to sleep as apparently they had to plug and OBD reader to copy the specs and mate it to the new battery. THe old battery read 66% ...

Re: 2016 Battery Indicator
When you say processes.
Is that the dispkay, aircon radio.
This car doesn't need a radio code after changing right ?

Re: 2016 Battery Indicator
OK, so from what I've read there is in fact a battery indicator, so I'll look out for it. And yes I plan on replacing it within the next 2 months. Thanks guys.
Can any competent battery place do it or is there a special process to follow.

2016 Battery Indicator
My car battery is going on 8 years and I think It's going to give up the ghost. My question is does it have an indicator to tell me when to replace, or must I wait for a complete failure ? So far it's fine, but that could change.
thanks
thanks
