My car is almost 1 year old and about to be booked in for its first service (which I think is just an oil/filter change and an inspection of everything else).
I’ve had no problems with the car at all but the panel gap between the bonnet and front bumper on the right hand side is not right. Is it worth asking the garage to look at it under warranty? Is it something I can do? Or is it something best just left as it is.
It’s an annoyance and I know with such a huge single piece bonnet the alignment can’t be easy - anyone done theirs or got theirs sorted by a dealer?
There are a few videos showing how you can make some adjustments yourself. I've tried this and it didn't resolve the issue. Here's a link.....
Best to get it sorted within 1 year from manufacture as Jaguar informed me that panel alignment would not be covered after this period even though there is a 3 year manufacturer's warranty.
I've attached the Jaguar technical bulletin 'Front End Panel Alignment'.

Thanks RPSN, think I will leave it to the Dealers to rectify under warranty as it looks very time consuming even for them!
Tech Bulletin very useful as it proves they accept it as a problem area. I will mention it to them if needed, although they should be able to find it easily enough on topix.
Yes, much better to leave the dealership sort it out.
Make sure you bring it to their attention before your car is 12 months old as they won't cover panel misalignment after this period. I've had this information officially from the Jaguar Land Rover Customer Experience Centre.

Would be good to see some pics of the 'before and after' when you get it sorted
