Raw footage of my 1948 1.5L saloon.

I love driving this thing but I’m definitely giving Mr incredible vibes hoping out the car hahaha

Me and my E Type you folks seem to love!

I just started the car up and heard this sound. I suspect it could be the isolator coupler, but I had a new one installed a few thousand miles ago. Not that it COULDN'T be the problem, but I'm not sure. The sound seems to go away when I push on the gas, then starts back up again after a short pause. Would appreciate some insight and recommendations for what I should do!

Thanks!

Hey guys,
I just wanted to ask you about your experiences with Jags. How have they been in terms of reliability and repairs?
I bought a 2016 XE R-Sport 2.0 GTDI two years ago with 75k kilometres on the clock. It’s now up to 130k kilometres and still runs like a dream.
So far, it’s only been to the garage once due to a crack in one of the air conditioning hoses. Other than that, it’s just been in for regular servicing.
And what can I say? It just keeps going and going! Unlike my previous Audi and Mercedes, it hasn’t let me down even once.
What have your experiences been like with your Jags?

Hey,

As in the title.

F pace 3l supercharged V6 petrol

I want to know what common problems there are with these. The information on the internet is scattered and confusing.

I've got some big ones

Cooling pipe/ water pump leaks

Timing chain issues

What else?

I can replace all that myself.

Anything big on these, like air suspension, bespoke compressor system that will break the bank?

Thanks

Hi folks.
I’m interested in an XFR lately, was wondering how much room do you actually get to DIY on that engine in that car?
It seems cramped but so do BMWs but they’re not usually that bad. Especially since I’ve heard AJ133s are pretty simple engines that are also “complex” (?)

Sounds like a bag of bolts. This was after a 30min drive so engine was warm. Sounds fine at higher revs….is this normal?

Anybody have an idea what this little plastic nipple/connector is for? Should it be connected to something? This is an AJ126 in my XF (3.0 supercharged). I think its leaking a bit of coolant as I am seeing drips in the engine bay around this area. Its located just under the front crossover pipe / around the intake duct area.

Please note that I already have remedied the cooling system by replacing all OEM plastic coolant pipes with metal from Euro amp, so I am not leaking from the pipes. Also note that the front crossover pipe looks like its leaking but its not - it was a poor fit and its JB welded (held for 2 years and its still dry to the touch, I think the JB weld is starting to dye to the color of the coolant).

Any help would be greatly appreciated - tysm!

I have been searching for an F-Type for a month or so for the spec I wanted. I found one that I loved about six hours away. Turns out that it was a great bit of luck that it was at an actual Jaguar dealership. It was a 2018 with 36k on the clock with pretty much the exact specs I wanted at a good price. They'd done a good bit of maintenance catchup prior to sale and a couple other things I asked for. Lots of pics and videos later we made a deal. I booked a flight and they picked me up at the airport. Inspect the car and one of the DRL are out and they agree to replace it immediately. I do the paperwork and am on my way. I met my parents next door for dinner so by the time I actually headed out for the six hours trip home the dealer had been closed a couple hours. Five miles down the road smoke starts coming from the hood and then the sweet smell of antifreeze. Took me maybe two minutes to get into a parking lot and the low coolant light came on. I knew those coolant pipes were the weak point but damn, didn't think it would be that quick.

To the dealers credit the salesman answered my text and then showed up within ten minutes when he was off the clock apologizing profusely. I got a hotel and they brought me a loaner Mercedes to drive back home. They are going to repair the car and ship it to me and pick up the loaner, all this on a car I paid low 30's for. It's been super frustrating but the dealer has went above and beyond to make it right so far. I'll find out Monday exactly what the issue was but pretty confident it was a coolant pipe.

Presuming it's the coolant pipe I intend to have them preemptively install a water pump, thermostat and a new supercharger coupler. Anything else I should be looking at doing while it's apart? In the long run this is actually a good thing if I get a sorted cooling system for dirt cheap.

I’m looking at picking up an I Pace. I’m not in too much of a rush Dec/Jan would be ideal, would go earlier for right deal.

I’m wondering if anybody has picked up any good incentives around Christmas or new year, and if it’s worth waiting.
I want to pay cash, budget £25-27k, hoping for 2 years warranty with option to pay to extend to 3.

Currently can only get that if pay £400 and get finance which I don’t want.

I think if I can’t find the right deal I’d be tempted to settle for a polestar 2 for around £20k with 2 years warranty built into package.

Currently have Audi Q8 E Tron sportback. It’s fine but I prefer the Jag and it’s had its fair share of problems including an 8 week stay with Audi for coolant repair. Plus to get similar spec to Jag it would be an extra £10k on that budget, or get base spec for similar price.

Insight appreciate, Thanks all.

For those that have tuned the base v6 to add more power, did you struggle to put that power down without a limited slip diff?

I'm trying to decide between a one owner higher mileage base v6 with excellent service history and a v6 s with lower mileage but less consistent service, although that may just be carfax not getting all the details.

I’m seeing a bit to much condensation on cold starts, vapours/smoke from the exhaust. How much and how long is normal for an XJR x350?

Once hot and driven it’s gone

We have a 2014 Jaguar XF 3.0 AWD. In the driver side (LH) front suspension, I need to replace the lower rear control arm. The part number printed in the arm is DX23-3C255-AB. I can find replacement arms from Jaguar, Lemforder, Eurostar’s and others. The issue is none of them come with the two ball joints. The large one at the very end connects to the knuckle. The smaller one connects to the swaybar end link. I cannot find the part number for the two ball joints.

I brought the part to Manhattan Jaguar parts department and they were not able to find the part.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pretty cool car with a smooth ride and comfortable seats.

I wish they kept some of jaguars unique designs in the rebrand but oh well, people still think I work for Jaguar over my last post on this subreddit 🫩😂

My XF is just getting a wheel bearing and axle fixed nun crazy.

Extra points if yk my job without googling it lol it’s the 1# business in its field worldwide

This mechanic helped me out on the side of the road got me able to drive back home but he cleared the codes so now I have to wait til they pop up again so I can head down to the shop 😅

Looking at a 2020 P300 Checkered Flag with 74,000 miles. Very clean and strong runner (I’ve driven it twice now). Is $22,000 fair?
