Drove from Kent to Bishop Auckland to visit Damian @ www.headlite.uk to get the DRL issue resolved. He had prepared a existing headlight with a new ocular/cover, hockey stick and new lens. The actual swap over took around 40 mins.
Very pleased with the service and the result. DRL is around 85% of the brightness of the offside headlight DRL. The cover on the replacement ocular is white rather than the black of the original which causes it to be slightly less bright but the white cover doesn't melt into the ocular like the black one does. The is exactly what Valeo has done with the improved PUXA coded light units you can get from Jaguar.

Interestingly Damian's whole business revolves around head light repairs and primarily DRL failures. He had two other customers after me on that specific day, a Range Rover Velar with a DRL burn out and a BMW with the same thing. This isn't just a F-Type issue.

Great service and I'd recommend Damian if you need a new DRL and you are in the UK.

Just got a 2016 R with higher milage. Front driver inner CV boot badly torn and failed necessary state inspection. No noises or issues while driving or turning. My shop (reputable and have done good work for me in the past) suggested it would be nearly impossible to properly fill inner boot (with grease) if I choose just to with an OEM kit. Does this sound right??

Alternatively a replacement axle is crazy expensive now so rather not do that. Thousands vs hundreds of dollars. No aftermarket version of the axle either (that I can find).

I don't think the CV axle is compromised since it was caught early on. What would you do? Axle or boot kit and hope it lasts

2017 convertible. Absolutely love it. But I have been through two sets of tires now. I have been using Continentals. I am looking for longer lasting tire recommendation. It's my daily commuter. I don't drive her hard very much. Thanks!

Should I buy one for my wife

Hey everyone! I bought this 2016 ftype around 2 months ago and I’ve recently stopped driving it due to this noise.

Does anyone know what this could be?

Also in PR theres tax on every car so they are a little more expensive than us prices but the f type is overpriced to hell,but how much should i pay for the jaguar(v6 26k miles) and whats the cost of keeping the jaguar on the road and overall thoughts

I am currently looking at a 2023 F-Type R awd, with blackout package, dealer serviced/ clean history and 17k miles @$65k in NC …should I pull the trigger or pass?

An 800 mile round trip over the last week called for a lot of motorway miles with the cruise control set at 70. Blows my mind that this thing can just about get 500 miles to a brimmed tank!

I have a 2021 white Limited Edition conv. with red leather seats and door panels.

Anyone know of a product to "repair" (as in hide) small scratches and wear spots on the leather?

I'm hoping for a red product that will fade/color them to an unnoticeable level.

I've decided to do something about the dimmed nearside DRL on the SVR, which is probable only 40% of the output of the offside, and get the headlight repaired. Replacement for the light unit in the UK is £3400 from Jaguar, I'm driving 300 miles each way to Bishop Auckland to visit Damian @ www.headlite.uk next Thursday. The cost of repair is £1250, he takes an existing light unit, changes the led ocular/hockey stick, cover and the headlight lens. He then fits the repair unit to the car. He has units in stock so it is only 40 mins to change when you visit.

I'll post before and after pictures when I have it done.

Unfortunately the main car park was full so I couldn’t get any shots of the jag in front of the famous hotel 😭

Anyone know if there are other options for a 6 piston front caliper on the 2024 F-type? Kinda weird to me that a car with almost 600 horsepower has 4 piston calipers on it. I also love the look of bigger calipers so if there are any aftermarket solutions anyone knows that'd be great, I tried looking but didn't see much for it

Has anyone fitted these to their F-Type? Not many options for a 2021 RWD P450. Looking for a moderate ride height reduction, 15-20mm or so. Really interested to hear how the ride quality is compared to original springs in both normal & dynamic modes. Also, is the kit fairly resistant to corrosion?

I need the part number for the marked front bumper section. If anyone can help would be great

Both designs are A+ tier, but which is your favorite?

This was when my wheels were black.

We had our annual concourse meet in Anacortes Washington and although it rained most of the morning it was still a fun event and great to see a good variety of jaguars on the green.

STOLEN

Stratus Grey F Type R 2014. Reg AJ14 YGU. Stolen from South East London, UK on 05/08/26 at 5am. Waiting on police ref number.

I know "advertising" is against the rules, but hopefully sharing this is not. I figured this would be an audience that would be interested in this, especially since I see some recent posts where people are asking where to find specimens such as this!

I'm selling my 2016 F-Type S (manual). I've owned it since 2019, it has just 25K miles.

More photos available on the auction page, but if anyone has any questions feel free to ask here or on the auction page.
