Re: Struggling with CTEK instalation

I bought an Optimate to keep my m/c battery conditioned. During covid I didn't use the Jag very often and used the Optimate on the front terminals every week or two without any problems.

Re: Exhaust at the rear

Are the tips stainless or chrome plated I wonder? I'm wary of polishing through chrome to whatever layer is underneath. I think I see a slight brass colour in a little place on one of mine, perhaps a previous owner polished them nearly to death?

Re: *WANTED* Ftype R V8 2015 Stock exhaust / SWAP for Quicksliver catback system

The standard exhaust on a 2015 is wide open to start with, only quietens after a few seconds or if you put it in gear quickly. Probably still quieter than the Quicksilver though.

Re: Insurance Renewal

Pleasantly surprised at my LV renewal price which, although a couple of hundred higher than last year (around half of that was due to a recent SP30), was considerably lower than all the other 'normal' companies I investigated.
Adding my partner reduces most quotes considerably.

Re: Exhaust valves not stuck, is it the ECM or the vacuum pump?

"You should be able to hear that pump running when you switch on the Ignition to position 2"....That's interesting... if there's vacuum present before firing up the engine could the start-up exhaust noise be reduced if one waits on ignition 2 before starting the engine? Or are the valves ...

Re: UK road-trip - items in case of breakdown ?

I toured Skye on m/c earlier this year. They seem to have improved much of the worst surfaces since I took the Jag a couple of years ago..
