Nice one 👍🏻 Pretty reasonable too. Are they able to access Jaguar OSH records to update?

Contemplating DIY, but may go this route.....got it all the aluminium pipes from the US.

The TEL mobil makes the magazines again!

Making my way through the backlog of car mags, I spotted our car again in a mag.

This is the September issue Page 133 of the "Jaguar Enthusiast" taken at the Supercar and Classic show at Sherbourne Castle.
Brilliant day, albeit moist with sunny spells!

Re: Is this the solution to vent water ingress “

Yep, the AWD ones are a different story. The pics above also show the difference between the RWD and AWD bonnet shapes really well. The AWD sits higher, and the bonnet was modified to suit. The big differences are underneath, where the sump is a different shape to accommodate all the extra running ...

Just had a major 72month service there, supercharger off, cooling pipes changed etc. All good.
May I ask what they charged to do the SC and coolant pipe work?
Feel free to MSG me if you like.

Yeah, that's why I thought it worth asking @F-Typo if he specced the Back pack or not at build....the plot thickens!

Re: Is this the solution to vent water ingress “

Yep I'm sure many upgraded their vents too. Mine came with shrouded vents though and I've seen so many V6 cars with shrouded vents that I think many were delivered with them. No, all V6, even the 400 Sport had open mesh from factory. AWD of course is a different setup. Is it a black pack thing? My ...

Re: Is this the solution to vent water ingress “

Nope, many V6 cars like mine came with the shrouded vents too. First I thought it was a model year or facelift thing but I've also seen many early cars with shrouded vents so haven't figured out yet why some cars came with the shrouded ones. Definitely not a V6 / V8 thing anyhow. Maybe part of some...

Re: Complaining to Jag main dealer

If it's any consolation, back in 2015, there was a safety recall to address....yes, you guessed it....track rod end lock nuts not tightened to the specified torque. And that's from the factory. Mistakes happen, we're all human, your experience is inexcusable, that's why IMO it's even more important ...

Re: Complaining to Jag main dealer

Fair rant, but be proactive! Definitely worth letting the dealer and JLR customer relations know. I think it is a responsible move to flag it up. I have had excellent work carried out (not without the odd fubar) because I put the effort in to forge a relationship with the dealer, so if/when and if t...

Re: Is this the solution to vent water ingress “

Hi all, After reading all the posts ref water ingress and injectors etc, I decided to cover the vents when the F Type is parked up. Mine is parked on my drive and exposed to the elements, started by opening the bonnet each time I parked up and covering the important areas with rubber matting, defin...
