Re: Finally bagged one !

Sounds like video from USB devices then. Video stops on motion but audio carries on. Btw another advantage of having a SIM in the car is that you then get live satellite imagery on the satnav screen. You need to have the basic incontrol subscription which gives you the remote features etc but you do...

Re: Finally bagged one !

You can just stream audio via Bluetooth, nothing more advanced like casting straight to the system as far as I know. Oddly enough if you Bluetooth stream spotify, most of the time there's no album art shown, but when you connect your phone to the USB port and play from spotify that way album art alw...

Re: Finally bagged one !

Interesting points about a strong sound system in a noisy car. Makes sense I guess! The main issue I've experienced with the sound systems in the modern Jaguars I've owned and loaners I've driven is that the trim and interior is not quite adapted to the speakers and things start buzzing and rattling...

Re: Adjust the bonnet

If you adjust the bumper, make sure your headlamp washer jets still retract fully (ask how I know). Hmm, that's interesting. I use my washer jets so rarely that it doesn't matter but I've noticed that one of the headlamp washers doesn't retract fully because its cover gets stuck and doesn't manage ...

Re: Finally bagged one !

Congrats again! If you spent all weekend in it instead of posting things on a forum means you got the right car. :) As you mention, it definitely has great GT qualities and is very civilised if you want it to (and close the exhaust valves ;)). I also think that the non-surround Meridian system is fi...

Re: Adjust the bonnet

Seems to be a very common issue with F-Types but I guess it's mainly us who drive them at proper speeds who actually notice it. ;) When my car was delivered the bonnet was also slightly misaligned in that spot but not so bad that it fluttered. My sales guy at the dealer in Trier said it was quite a ...

Re: Article in the Telegraph

It will be really interesting to see the new designs because coming up with something which is truly new, unique AND good looking is quite the challenge. Especially with all the pedestrian safety regs today. Couple that with the drive for aerodynamic efficiency and there is a reason most cars rough...

Re: Article in the Telegraph

They lost the plot a good 10 years ago when they decided to go mass market by trying to compete with German rep mobiles and dumbing down the brand with cheaper low spec and under powered cars. It's about time that they bring back some exclusivity and excitement to the brand. I for one think the stra...

Re: Switchable Exhaust Operation ?

On the auto box that is. No such option on WShudds car. :) Oops! I know, it's hard not to assume that it's an auto! The lads at the local specialist that worked on the car to diagnose the O2 sensor fault looked confused and pleased at the same time when they realised it's a manual 😉 Yeah you've got...
