I’ve just purchased a 2014 V6 S - with low mileage but most of the usual issues older F-Type coupes exhibit. I was fully aware of its faults when I bought it, but felt it was a good honest car, with the spec I wanted - which was right for me - at a fair price.
So far I’m thrilled with it and still smiling every time I even look at it…let alone drive it!
I’m planning on taking the car ‘off the road’ in January to tackle as many of these jobs as I can - because (1) I now can’t afford to pay a garage to do it all (!) and (2) I quite like the satisfaction of methodically fixing things myself. I’m only a DIY mechanic though, much of the technical info and knowledge on this site has been a huge help already.
The worst of the jobs to attack is the dreaded diff pinion oil seal. Just getting the exhaust off looks like it will be a battle by the look of the clamps!
. Good luck with your maintenance tasks. It definitely is rewarding doing things yourself.
