Re: Anyone know what this is?

Ah many thanks! Was looking at fitting a camera but unsure of the function this item and whether it would affect a camera but guess not. Thanks again

Anyone know what this is?

Sorry to ask but another F Type owner noticed this by the side of my rear view mirror which was absent in their car. I cannot find a reference in the manual - can anyone help with what this might be?

Auto dip headlights

On previous F Type had auto dip headlights and bought same model and year but this one does not have that which is a shame as I liked it on long night journeys - has anyone had it fitted to their car and is it difficult or costly? Would it have to be done by JLR ? Any advice….

Makings of a classic car ? Discuss…

So my lifetime gift to myself was the F Type S 2016 below. Have not had a single day of regret despite reading lots on the forum and inherent worries about the diff and under car corrosion etc. I still smile walking out to get into the car and listening to that start up and then pulling away with an...

Re: New Member delighted with the Jag

Prepare to smile a lot !! Just a little tip for you - unlike with other cars for some reason people will approach you to speak about the car and it will happen all over the place.

Re: Ceramic paint protection

I looked at ceramic coating and also the debates on PPF but settled on a ceramic coat and looked around a variety of companies and private detailers. There was a wide variation in prices and was very wary of getting my pants pulled down so took my time to find a local reputable company who did not c...

Out of interest does anyone know where F Types may be on the scale of ease of theft and also the second hand market which drives up these thefts.

Question about F Type colours?

I was asked a question by an admirer to which I had no clue but hoping one of the many Sages on here may know. When Jaguar manufactured the F Type did they produce certain numbers based on the colour of the car they thought would sell the most? So would there be a specific number of say racing green...
