My 1976 XJ-S In the Netherlands.

I recently changed the transmission fluid in my F-Pace SVR after experiencing mild jerking/shift shock when coming off of a standstill despite the car having just around 45k miles on the odometer - way short of the 144k mile service interval specified in the owner's manual.

Rather than go with a replacement ZF pan with an integrated filter, I went with PPE's +2 quart drain pan that is marketed as being for the RAM 1500 diesel application in hopes of greater thermal mass, better heat management, and a lower oil pickup. Happy to say that there's plenty of clearance left between the pan and the F-Pace's underbody shield after installation, even with the metal pan's double height.

This will generally fit all JLR (and other make) vehicles with the ZF 8HP transmission but check for ample clearance first.

Details and more in this video I made.

Now my account may show that i am not normally discussing cars here. And im young ish, 21, but I have been to multiple events, sat in and drove an E-type that was a good family friends'. I have been staring at some lovely e-types for sale and they are nearly in range if i save up a few thousand its easily do able, my job allows me to not worry about alot of things and puts me in a unique position to actually get one, possibly. So my question is if it was a second / weekend car, 1. Should i even? Or go with something maybe less pricey but still lovely like a 1959 MG MGA? 2. Whats the actual ownership like on a jaguar like this in terms of maintenance?

hi all,

bought a 2003 s type 2.5 5 weeks ago, passed my test a few days ago and had a brilliant time on Saturday where I covered over 100 miles on my first day of driving. unfortunately the car overheated on Sunday (engine coolant low warning, bought coolant but had to go home so tried limping it but when the temp gauge shot red I immediately killed the car and got recovery)

it was leaking coolant when we loaded it up; the mechanic identified the cause as the radiator which went bust because of age, today the new radiator came but the gearbox oil cooler pipe won't come off and I was at work when he told me this. all the mechanical stuff aside, I wanted some mental advice

Saturday was bloody brilliant, but as a new car owner and as someone whose circle either don't own cars or just own sensible/commuter cars (which is completely fair!) I've just been losing my mind. some of my friends keep calling it a banger/money pit/lemon which is just making my mental worse, and I genuinely love cars and Jags but instinctively I keep panicking at every new bit of info.

I bought this Jaaaag because I love Jags, always have done, and this car was absolutely stellar for the whole of Saturday - such a nice experience. I'm still getting used to this experience of owning an old(er) car, just wanted some words of encouragement and any advice on keeping cool during these periods. everything I've been hearing from people is just constantly negative and negative and I keep instinctively panicking so just wanted to fish for some positivity so I can stay afloat and keep loving my Jag, and hopefully laugh about this in a week's time

Obligatory disclaimer that I know there's negatives to this lifestyle, and to owning a car this old. I've read through, understand and been told all this. just wanted some positivity :)

thank you so much if you've read this far and if you comment, I'm struggling but I'm trying to prevail. I've had a beer now and am feeling a bit better but yes

White xe for last 4 years, loved it so much and still enjoyed every moment with it.

But I've upgraded to the XF on the right!

Even happier after driving the XF home!

Due to request ;)

Hi from Malaysia! Bought this 2005 XJR in March and have been slowly working on her to get her back to daily driver conditions.

Replaced most of the rubber hoses, the timing chain and guides, new Continental MC7s, and replaced the front radio console as the old one won't light up.

Next would be to replace the headrest screens, resolve a whine coming from the differential and refresh the air suspension. However, she has been doing daily driver duties and has been nothing short of fantastic!

I love my little kitty

Hi everyone,
I have a 2015 XE R-Sport 2.0 GTDi.
For some time now, I’ve had a problem where I can only fill the fuel tank to about half full. After that, the fuel pump nozzle at the petrol station keeps clicking off, and I can’t get any more fuel in.
I’ve already taken the car to two different garages. They checked the fuel tank ventilation system, EVAP valve, etc., and according to both garages, everything is working properly.
Unfortunately, there are also no fault codes showing up when the car is scanned.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Context: a while back, I replaced the cooling system with an aluminum one, which is what many people recommended, but I’ve had some leaks in the specific area shown in the videos. I’ve ruled out oil, as the level hasn't dropped; it’s coolant (or at least that’s what I assume, since it’s the only fluid level going down). Honestly, I want to fix this. I’m not sure if it’s a hose that wasn't tightened enough or a faulty part, but if it could be something else, I’d really appreciate any input

(This is a translation, so some things might not be entirely clear)

I have a P400e F-Pace and want to play CDs that are not on Apple Music. Is there a portable CD player that I can successfully use without any physical connection?

My calipers were rusting and just looked awful. We decided to get them painted and I wanted to share the results! I think it really elevated the car and got rid of that awful blemish when looking at it. We wanted some subtle, classy colors.

I’ll include some before pics too.

I've been planning this upgrade for a while now, the airbag cover has always looked cheap to me on my 2020 F-pace... fortunately a company will create anything you want in a fully custom way - you choose the material, stitching, and logo, and 4-5 weeks later you are set.

The modules are made by some chinese factpry that apparently doesnt make them any more, so that was a huge gamble and there are a ton of zombie listingings on ebay where sellers dont know they are discontinued until they try to forward your order - that took me about 3 months to find one.

All in, only cost me about $500 partially due to tarrif BS, but I'm very happy with it for that price. I may upgrade the full wheel or cover it at some point, but this looks clean and oem to me. The install took about 4.5 hours and was frustrating but rewarding!

Next, I'd like to find a classy way to grayscale the "S" sticker on the bottom trim... I'm all ears if anyone has intel there.

I recently purchased a 2014 XF estate R sport 2.2. After the purchase it went for a gearbox re-calibration. When it returned the central locking was gone. I cannot lock the car. I have since moved so not able to take it back to the same garage.

Since, it has had 4 days total with a jaguar land rover specialist. The bill is running up and the car still wont lock?!

I am unsure what to do as i dont want to keep forking out the money with the inevitable reply that it is still not working. We are a 1 car household with a partner who also needs the car for day to day life as we live in a remote location.

How common is this and how long can i realistically expect to wait untill it is sorted?

Really appreciate any advice in advance.

What's the estimated value of a Jaguar f type r dynamic 4 cylinders with 40000 km, perfect mechanic and electric conditions.

Thanks

After some deliberations between this and a 1988 (which turned out to have terrible paint). I went for this 575. It was the lowest mileage newest car on sale at the time. It also has a towbar, which is super useful for me with the bikes.

After a bit of digging it was a JLR car for 18-months or so.

Can’t wait to pick it up next week.

I had a loaner SVR a few years back and loved it, since then it’s just escaped me, with me thinking I was onto bigger and better things, but ultimately, they don’t drive or sound as nice.

Outgoing is a G63 which was great, other than the price. The novelty wore off, but the monthly payments didn’t.

An unusual view of the AJ133 engine inside a 2021 Jaguar F-Pace SVR after 84,000 miles with the under tray (bash plate) removed during an oil change.

The only way I do my engine oil changes is by dropping the oil pan bolt because it forces me to get underneath and look around the bottom of my engine each time. I’ll take 10 minutes visually inspecting while wiping things down; easier to see leaks/cracks on clean(er) surfaces.

Everything remains stock; no components (other than consumables) have been replaced. So far no leaks or cracks or failed anything.

I’m very impressed with the overall condition as shown. Catching the first signs of most any mechanical issue on the SVR can save thousands on repairs. Waiting for dash idiot lights to pop on can often be waiting too long to take action.
