Can I ask how you supported the underside of the car to take the frames off.

I have axle stands at the front of the car and jacked up the rear by the diff and placed ramps\support under the rear wheels. I also have axle stands on "stand-by" at the rear of the car whilst working under it and the jack taking a little weight under the diff. Can never be too safe.
Stuck at home but happily with my 3 day old FT I thought I’d jack it up and have a look at the bracing underneath. Wasn’t expecting to see any problems as Jaguar introduced new and improved steel bracing a couple of years ago. However, all of the parts were already showing small rust spots in a few areas!
I’ve cleaned them and applied some Dynax S50 which should keep it under control but I was concerned!
If you haven’t looked at yours yet, no matter how new, I suggest you do!
I realise my car was probably built at the end of last year (is there any way to find out when it was built?) and stored outside but it’s still not good.

Didn’t get one of those!
I’ve been on topix and can see the PDI has been done on 5 Feb and DVLA have the car as being manufactured in 2020 so I guess some time in Jan 20.
I had to ask for it!
When I was looking, I asked the dealers for details of each car I was interested in. It took a few goes with one sales guy, but my perseverence paid off eventually!

Is there a build date or serial number from which this problem shouldn't occur?

I did a factory tour in mid 2018 and was told they were now using parts which had increased corrosion protection but clearly it’s not cleared the problem as my car shows. Even those who have had new replacements under warranty should check again, as better protection is required if you intend to keep the car a long time, as I do.Derivative wrote: ↑Thu Mar 19, 2020 5:18 pm Is there a build date or serial number from which this problem shouldn't occur?
