HI all
New to this Forum just brought myself my first f type 2019 P380 RWD, Carpathian grey , Gloss pack , gloss black wheels with Ivory Leather. Only had the car for two months so far only 1500 miles on the clock . Had to go to Guildford yesterday which is a hours drive there and back, on the way back home had a red low coolant light come on I was only 10 minutes away from home so manage to put some water in and get home , after looking at the car found that a stone had gone though the vent just above the splitter and damage the radiator so it started to leak.But I could not believe that there was no mesh or any kind of protection for the radiator so any kind of Debris can enter and damage the rad I know this just unlucky but just wondering if anybody else has had the same thing happened to them and if anybody knows any kind of fix so it doesn’t happen again.
Stone damage to Radiator
Yes I see a spray of water very clearly..... and leaves and debris.
Can you take a few photos from further back and continue back taking photos as well? I don't see this on mine which makes me think either a) yours has something missing or b) it's so far zoomed in I am missing it or c) something has changed on later model years.
If you can identify where the photo is in detail I will check a few cars tomorrow morning. Happy to investigate out of interest.

Hi thanks for helping only have two more photos as the car is in the dealership for repairs its just above the splitter just of Center . Thinking I’ve just been very unlucky to have a stone go though such a small aperture and damage the rad but just wanted to let other f type owners that this could happen again

That's just bad luck unfortunately. There's not much thought that could be used to protect the area without disrupting the airflow by the looks of things.
V8's are a totally different setup; Supercharger Intercooler, AC Rad then coolant Rad.
Welcome to the clan, and I hope your journey with your Jag is a smooth one, once fixed!
