Gearbox Service

As my F is now 11 years old, I'm sure it must need new oil in the gearbox, even if it just avoids issues later down the line. Anyone had it done properly - ie new filter (i think they replace the lower casing as its built in), gearbox flush and full ZF oil refresh? If so, how much and where? Any rec...

Re: Battery

I didn't have to do anything on my 2013 when i changed the battery - i just made sure the old one was fully charged before i removed it and the new one was too. You have to reset the windows once done but thats been covered on here a few times. Oh and don't shut the boot without a battery connected....

Re: New member looking to buy 2013 F-Type 3.0 litre convertible

I'd be looking to see if the belts (supercharger and accessories) have been changed. It doesnt have timing belts.

I have a 2013 convertible and although 20k is low mileage, i'd get them changed if not.

Re: Warranty - worth it?

With a decent independent and a bit of preventative maintenance its not worth it imo. My car is 10 years old this year (i've owned it since nearly new) - no issues. The only things i do preventively is injector cleaner from time to time and change the diff oil every couple of years. I'm debating a g...

Re: Screeching noise on cold days

I had the same. Turned out it was the missus before the heated seats have come to life.

She makes a similar noise during high speed too.
