Also a great advert for buying Jaguar Used Approved & kudos to the dealer. The new exhaust is approaching a £2k hit 👍

Enjoy 😊
Presumably (and hopefully) the exhaust system is stainless steel otherwise I don't fancy replacing it when it corrodes through at £2k a pop? JPS

The exhaust valves seize which can require a new back box. Happened to mine at 8k miles.

thanks for the vid XZ4! I’ve also since found one a German reviewer does, he doesn’t talk at all just rigs the car up with go pros and drives the autobahn as fast as he can.

So according to the reviewer in that video, only the V6 came with a manual option and on all manual v6 cars the active exhaust was standard (it was optional only on the autos?)
Is that accurate?! No V8 manuals?

All V8s are ZF AT, definitely. Don't know the answer to the active exhaust, but wouldn't be surprised if it was standard on the MTs.

V8s also lack launch control, presumably because you just floor it and the car does the rest!
