They confirmed this was the correct item by checking my VIN and the kit arrived with me next day (although as I'm in N. Ireland whic...

Re: Hi There - From Potential 'R' Owner In Lincolnshire!

Martin, Welcome to the forum. Back in 2019 I bought my V6S from a non JLR dealer. At the time, from memory, it was about £3.5k cheaper than an equivalent JLR used approved model. I thought at the time that the price difference would cover a fair amount of repairs, if necessary, in the difference bet...

Re: Tickover from cold start

Hi all, from a cold start do F-Types tick over fast initially (1300 or 1400 rpm) to "protect the catalytic convertor" ? I saw this on a YouTube clip a couple of nights ago. I then saw another last night saying Jaguar set up the car to "rev" on start up, but this only lasts a few...

Re: Spring Sale #2

Hi Lunar, item 13 - Would you sell the centre console trims seperately? I'm only really interested in the top one (with S logo), which goes in front of the vents. If so, what price?

Re: Service Intervals

Also no mention of rear diff oil change, due at 48 months/64k & 96months. As cj10jeeper has said, the next service with all aux belts is the expensive one. If you like everything else about the car, I'd be looking that done, plus diff oil change, as a condition of purchase.

Life is too short.. v6s at least and just enjoy it 👍 +1 I've had my V6S for almost 5 years now and haven't regretted buying it for a single second! The last thing I worry about is mpg, although I think I'm averagi...
