Re: Observations from a new owner

Welcome to the forum from another nutter who’s bought new [emoji849] I agree re the sound. I was/am a bit disappointed too. Mine is at 1500 miles now and it’s improved somewhat but nowhere near the older cars I test drove. I suspect I’ll eventually go for sports cats but in a way it’s good to hear t...

Re: Should I stay or go?

I haven’t been on the forum for a little while, so am just catching up a bit. I’m really sorry to hear of your problems Jono. It does sound like you’ve either got a poor dealership, with technicians that are letting the side down or you’ve hit upon one of those cars that just isn’t right. As such, i...

Re: Jaguar Free 7 day Insurance

Insurance is one of those businesses where you most definitely get what you pay for ... Pedantically, it's more a case of not getting what you don't pay for - people have been known to not always get what they pay for ... ;) Or.... people have been known to not get what they didn’t pay for but thou...

Re: Jaguar Free 7 day Insurance

The free insurance is underwritten by one if the big players in the insurance market. As such it’s not Jaguar providing it, simply a service they offer via as an agent. It’s a nice easy way to get all your information and potential future custom. My experience is the same as others in that the annua...

Re: Insurance renewal cost

I’ve just renewed my car insurance. The F-type and an SVR RRS. £3k! To be fair, both cars are kept on the (rural) roadside and my daughter is an insurance broker, so it’s the absolute best policy available. It even covers me to drive any car, fully comp, with no increase in excess. If anyone fancies...

Re: New Ftype 21MY, real photos

This is absolutely production. No more tweaks I guess the ‘prototype’ sticker means nothing then? Anyway, it looks shite. I’m even going off the grill now, which I quite liked originally. No V6 as I keep saying would immediately stop me buying too. Took mine for a spin yesterday and it was awesome....

Re: New Ftype 21MY, real photos

There are elements of the car that I quite like, which as I’ve said elsewhere, is damning the whole thing with faint praise. I’m guessing that there might still be some development left before they actually hit the showrooms and roads. Realistically though, if this is as near a production model as p...

Re: Android auto & car play on earlier models

Found it! It was posted on the F-Type Owners Club page on 27th Nov. It was discussing this set up: https://www.ebay.com/itm/193026497530?ul_ref=https%253A%252F%252Frover.ebay.com%252Frover%252F0%252F0%252F0%253Fmpre%253Dhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.ebay.com%25252Fulk%25252Fitm%25252F193026497530%25...

Re: Android auto & car play on earlier models

I saw something on one of the F-type Facebook groups recently that allowed a retro fit system. There was a demo video and TBH it looked superb. I’d definitely have been looking into it more if I didn’t already have CarPlay. I can’t for the life of me find the post now.... Sorry! Sent from my iPad us...
