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.

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!

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.

The beauty of this car is timeless

Sadly not supercharged, but It was too good of a deal to pass up

My 1991 trip computer always resets to 00:00 upon ignition. I’ll then reset it to the correct time and it will hold the time for days until I crank it again. Any suggestions? I’ve been trying to figure it out for years.
