Re: Headlights in Europe

There's a setting in the steering-wheel accessed "Vehicle Settings" on mine.

Supercharged Saturday - 6th August 2022

Is anyone else thinking of going along to the British Motor Museum on Saturday 6th August for the Jaguar Breakfast Club meet? I'm guessing the F Type might be the most prevalent supercharged Jag? I'm based Hampshire/Berkshire way and wondered if there were plans for a little convoy or some 'spirited...

Re: The F-Type Hypermiling Challenge!

This is the best result my InControl has shown up - but I already know it lies slightly (i.e. the claim doesn't match when you refill it to the click). Still, my head has been impressed with the capability for economy from a completely heart-driven purchase!

Re: Single tick on turning

Right - I had a proper crawl under the car this morning. For a vehicle that trumpets its aluminium construction there is an absolute metric ton of rusty bits at the back end, some of them are properly flaky and it looks awful, how much would it really have eaten into profits to do some proper *&...

Re: Single tick on turning

Thanks everyone. I had a quick look under there and all I've seen was what seemed a lot of surface corrosion (guess they're too much in bed with Land Rover ;) ).

I think I will need to get under when it's cold to have a proper look...

Thanks simpleR - I'll be doing that next year then, will be probably less than 29k miles since its last change though!

Re: Single tick on turning

Thanks both - I might have to crawl underneath and have a look then.
According to the Jag service history the rear diff oil was done in October 2019, I'd hope it doesn't need doing again that soon?!

Single tick on turning

Hi all, very odd thing just noticed with my 2016 MY V8 AWD - it gives a single metallic sounding click or tick when turning through about 90 degrees at fairly slow speed. Roundabouts seem to make it happen most, but not on all of them. Sounds like it's coming from the back. What could it be? Are the...

Re: Umbrella

I'm too tight to buy one - I have an excellent pocket umbrella with a torch on the end which I had in my last car (BMW 435i) and fits perfectly in the passenger door.

Re: Heated seats

Nope, mine are the all or nothing version - driver’s seat is toasty with just one bar but the passenger seat is lukewarm at 3 bars…
