Re: Gear shifter removal "trick"

Thanks so much for posting this. I've spent hours looking for a guide to try and replace the eco button/rear spoiler etc and there's not even a single photo or youtube guide anywhere but here! Before I look to tackle this... to get to the buttons to replace them, do you have to take the shifter off ...

Re: F Type ear Subframe corrosion

Hi All, New to the forum; just thought I'd post my experience with this particular issue. 5 weeks ago around 12th March, my 13 plate V8S convertible under extended warranty, went in for a service (+ repair of the driver's seat which was loose and faulty steering wheel controls) at Inchcape Guildford...

Re: opinions on extended warranty

If you do take up the extended warranty, make sure that you make a note of a week before it's expiry date. I'd been relying on their email/letter notifications, but this year I didn't receive any and now i'm two months out and they're refusing to renew it without an inspection! Have a funny feeling ...

Endless Problems with F-Type - fed up!

Thanks for the reply! I was pretty naive in thinking most of the major issues would have been ironed out after the car had been around for a year and a half.In terms of Financial Ombudsman, I'm not sure I would have anything on this? I purchased via business hire purchase and bought privately? Such ...

Endless Problems with F-Type - fed up!

Hello,I thought I would post my experience with my car to see if anyone else has had similar issues and also to perhaps warn some prospective buyers. I've owned my 13 plate V8S now for about a year and when it's working, it's great. It's my first ever proper sports car and have had some great fun in...

Brake Pads / Discs Cost

The only thing I am weary of is the whole resale value issue by not going direct to Jag as the service history is now (very conveniently) digital!

Brake Pads / Discs Cost

Hello,MY2013 V8 has hit the point where the brakes are squealing and need doing. There's not much of a lip on either of the front or rear discs, but the pads on the back are completely worn (before the fronts!?). The best price I have had so far is from Ascot Guy Salmon which is £677inc. VAT for fro...
