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 ...

Re: Vehicle tax reduction

I've just looked at my V5. Car registered in September 2019 and the higher VED is payable until 28/02/2025. Which is four months shorter than I was expecting, if this is correct. The only thing I'm aware of, is that it was a showroom car and dealer demo for six months after registration. The first n...

Re: sad days are coming

Problem is manufacturers are having to sell an increasing percentage of EVs or get fined, as well as prepare for ICE demise in 10 years time. We can all now see that that China has grabbed the volume 'green industry' and will be increasingly flooding the market with cheap cars, solar panels, wind tu...

Re: sad days are coming

Isn't there rumoured to be an SUV, a large saloon and a four door GT launching sometime 2025 onwards.

Doesn't necessarily mean there's no sports car ever again. Who knows. 🤞
