Re: Kaspa is back

I believe there are only possibly 5 SVRs in Velocity Blue in the UK. I know owners of two others (one of those cars had a number of problems and was returned to the dealer). I think there's another owner around London that came up on one of the Facebook groups last year and then there's the crash r...

Re: Carbon brake mounting pins

Part number might be T4N26834. Best to phone a dealer parts department and get them to look it up as it's not clear from the diagrams I can find.

Re: Kaspa is back

Good to hear you and your F type are back on the road and you didn't sell it or anything. I've seen other people do that and regret it afterwards. There's nothing like bit of sunshine and the roar of an F type to blow away the misery of the winter. I can remember when you bought your car and isn't i...

Re: Car thefts - securing your F-Type

Another one in the series. https://youtu.be/uHIwtiA963M?si=X91Zn8rVTELvGUbP I have a OBD lock that I found on eBay some years ago for £10. It's a steel box with a long shackle padlock fed through the open end. This item is similar and I would think the bolts could be replaced with a padlock also. ht...

Re: Opening the boot

I think some other people in this situation have lifted the luggage cover off it's pins and managed to pull the emergency release handle using a hook and pole.

Re: Owners Handbook

Does the owner manual in PDF exist at all? I'd like to replace the wheels on my P450 and can't find info on the wheel sizes/width/offset in the online manual or in the iGuide app on the phone. You can see the sizes and offsets for the jaguar OEM wheels on this website. It also gives the part number...

Re: Head gasket failure on V8

EDIT: On another note, it looks like some SVO paints might get listed as 'Black' on the vehicle database. I noticed SimpleR mention a paint colour mismatch against a car search recently, and this SVR also appears as 'Black' where it has an SVO paint (Velocity Blue IIRC) Cars in SVO colours are ofte...

Re: Vehicle tax reduction

Aha! Just read an article about this. The 'luxury' tax is payable for 5 years from the second time the car is taxed. So assuming the car is taxed at first registration and then sold to the second owner before it's a year old, it then gets taxed a second time within the first year. (VED doesn't stay ...
