Guys, Jaguar don't need to rustproof this area.
They have been very clever, designed their diffs to gently coat the area in oil, via the diff seals... simples
Rusty rear cross brace
You dont have a link to that bulletin, do you?Fireisland wrote: ↑Sat Sep 02, 2017 9:04 am Had my 2015 F type serviced yesterday and mentioned the rusty cross brace. Apparently there is a Jaguar tech bulletin on it and they need to order some gunk in to deal with it so rebooked for a months time... in time for winter.
Was given an XF courtesy car for the service. Just couldn’t warm to it. Seems to have lost that Jaguar luxury feeling.

Hi,
I wanted to get anyones opinion on my cross braces. I took the car into Lancaster Burnham for a service recently and reported that I thought the cross member was looking rusty and could they check it.
They did and said it wasn't structural but was surface corrosion.. Not really happy with that but they wouldn't do anything about it.
Have a look at a section of the Video they sent me that shows this and has the tech stating it is surface rust.

I am thinking about getting this treated (but not at Lancaster!). Any thoughts if that will prolong the life or is it too late!!
Thanks

when we move (to yorkshire hopefully) I will make sure I have the garage facilities and space that I need
currently I am thankful that at least My f Type is locked in a heated garage ..
but I have attached a picture of my old detailing skills when I used to own a 1996 collectors edition corvette which I loved so much and like a twat sold it
sorry to be off topic
Does anyone have details of this bulletin or which dealer has helped. I have just had my dealer tell me I should expect rust on a 3 year old car....Fireisland wrote: ↑Sat Sep 02, 2017 9:04 am Had my 2015 F type serviced yesterday and mentioned the rusty cross brace.
