Could of been worse. They could have used string.

As said the panel could drop, catch the road and cause more damage further back.

As they’ve bodged that panel and parts are missing, I would be asking what else have they bodged or what else is missing? I would want a thorough independent inspection of the whole car.

Hope it all gets sorted to your satisfaction.

Agree, the Jaguar dealer should be very embarrassed to sell you a car in that condition. Good luck it getting it resolved.

Sticky tape works too I understand. Just need to change it every few miles and don’t do over 10 mph.

The main dealers want it back for repairs, but they are too far away so they suggested a more local dealership and they will stand the costs. I declined that also and asked them to send the missing parts to me and I will fit them - without zip ties!!!
It’s also missing the locking wheel nuts so they are sending a set of those as well.
There is no warning triangle in the boot or fire extinguisher but not sure if they are included, does anyone know?
Thanks for all your support so far.

I think they're options - I don't have them in my R AWD.

Would be interesting to know why this underbody panel was removed in the first instance, when the car that only has only done 1800 miles. I know there are issues with rear diffs, but not for cars with that milage.
