Re: Rusty rear cross brace

On the SVR the complete underneath is protected by covers, I wonder if this would be a retrofit for other F-types also reducing airflow drag at the same time? IMG_0621.jpg Reduce drag and increase aerodynamics they said.... looks like Jaguar have taken to just 'hiding' the rust on the SVR then :D

Re: Active Exhaust Stuck Closed

Hi guys, So after collecting my V6 up on Saturday.... I am more than happy with the car, performance is fantastic, nice place to be, handling is sharp and responsive, in short... completely in love. But.... a fly in the ointment... the car has the "loud" button fitted as an option, but it...

Re: Does finance APR change on cars over a year old???

Might get the SmartTop gadget to allow me to reverse the button. Great choice and colour. All we need...

Re: opinions on extended warranty

From experience I wish I had taken some form of extended warranty, just after 3 years old the back exhaust box needed replacing, I was lucky the dealer did it out of good will for free but it would have cost £1400. Previously, just before warranty ran out the central air vent mechanism failed (comm...

Re: opinions on extended warranty

Sorry Kev, slip of the finger, the car was just 3 years old when purchased so it came with the extended 2 year warranty.

Re: How often do you use Dynamic mode?

Yep, Dynamic mode at all times and find myself using sports mode more and more... be rude not to!

Only downside is the Pirelli's on the car, very poor, something I will be remedying this month with a new set of Michelin's.
