You admitting to perusing the Jaguar forums and the spreadsheet is incredible, and the reason I kept watching this video. Props dude, please keep these videos and amount of detail up. All the small details and recommendations/fixes... man this is possibly the best buyer's guide I've seen.

Honestly was expecting this list to be wayyy worse. This is now officially my dream car

Best sports car ive ever owned . My v8s had perfect reliability and was such an exciting drive im going to get another one

I picked up my 2017 F Type R last week. I wanted to thank you for the buyers guide as I found a couple of the things you mentioned. There was no way I would have noticed some of them without your help. I was able to get the dealer to fix of all of them. I appreciate you taking the time to make and post these videos.

“Every car has issues.......Mclarens they Burn down” 😂🤣

1. Injectors: Fouling up. Prevent with additives. 2. Differential: Sludgy oil. Change often. The oil. Not the Diff. 3. Supercharger Coupler: Listen to engine cold from outside. If it rattles the rocks need changing. 4. Exhaust Actuator: Try restart. 5. Carpet sagging: Practice good hygene. 6. Panel misalignment. Communicattion (with dealer) is key. 7. Seat Bolsters. Every sports car has this problem. But this one doesnt.

Im planning on getting one next year. This video has been more helpful than I expected.

Very good info and Vid! I had to laugh, when you mentioned reading up... I also went to the forums and read the LONG know issues thread before buying. when 80% of that long thread was radio related, I was okay moving to the buy with knowledge stage, WHICH is what you are supplying folks here.!

This is incredibly helpful. I'm considering a 2016 F Type R and your videos are exactly what I was looking for.

I just wanted to say Thank you so very much for your well done informative videos! You are the first person I've ever subscribed to on KZfaq and the reason my wife and I felt comfortable in purchasing our Jaguar F-type. I look forward to future video's. Keep up the excellent work!!!

I truly admire your honesty. Although it's a little pain to listen to as a huge Jag fan, this is excellent knowledge. On the whole though, for a powerful sports car, the issues weren't too bad. As you say, every car has its issues.

Great tip on taking the time to read the blogs and educate yourself, very smart.

I really appreciate your walk through. As a buyer, this saved me a lot of time!

Best most realistic informative video I have seen yet and the icing on the cake for me to go buy one of these bad boys... cheers mate 🍻

REALLY REALLY helpful advises and thank your for all this. I have the same 2015 RWD R as well, and you become my #1 jaguar expert in youtube. Great video, thanks for sharing, keep up!

Looking at buying a used one today and this video helped tremendously. Thank you!!

So helpful! I just picked up a 2015 V6S BRG vert today and used the tips from this video & the follow up when choosing my car. Thank you so much, Connor!

Great video with tons of practical information on issues and solutions. Loved it

Good info! I will most certainly be buying this car certified pre-owned so I can have some peace of mind.

Looking at buying an F type before Xmas, really helpful well made video. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. I've had my S for 6 months now; besides the sticky finish of the buttons, I haven't seen the other issues mentioned many other places so thanks for giving me something to check out this weekend! Subscribed!

Great video, good to see the points to look out for when buying your first F Type

Great video! Thanks for all the useful info.. I wish I could afford one now, but it's still my favourite car and I like to hear about it.

thank you for taking the time to make this video, I Subscribed and liked, I wish your channel lots of success. Well done, entertaining and qualitative video!

DUDE YOU KILLED IT!!! GREAT VIDEO, VERY THOROUGH !

I love your channel. Thank you. My trust anybody that can put in that much time. It's so now I'm going to buy see out there

Information was definitely needed thinking about getting a svr next year

Great vid I had my F type a week before the exhaust flap went. I had my garage just cut them right out and replace with pipe. Sounds epic now

Viewer from Canada. Super helpful/useful video. Ordered my designed 2021 F-Type P300 today. Will look out for these issues.

Well done overview, thanks. For folks interested in purchasing an F-Type, I wanted to share my experience. I've owned 3. 2015 Type R, 2018 Type R, and currently drive a 2019 SVR. My daily, 10K miles per year commuting into NYC on crappy roads regardless of weather. I've literally had zero issues, including no bent wheels which is a miracle in this area. I've owned several high end sports cars. This model made me a Jag convert. For those that intend to track their car, I wouldn't recommend it. Not suited to that environment.

Thanks for all the advice. Lots of great stuff to know. Am about to go back (I test drive it today) and check these things on a 2016 F-Type S Convertible before I hopefully buy it. Hoping everything checks out. Good to know that your list wasn't super long. I'm excited that I might have one of my own soon!

This is awesome man!! I’m fancying this car too for myself one day. So thank you for this.

Super video. Super helpful. I have an F type and the rear flapping seals were present in my car and this helped me fix things for about 5 dollars. Thank you. And I am doing injector prevention with BG44k. :)

Just the the video i needed. Cheers!

Great video, Connor. Thanks for the tips, especially re: the fuel additive. I'll start that routine. I have a 2016 R Coupe, and so far, no issues...but I like the preventative approach.

Thank you, I'm getting a 2017 this weekend! Very excited and it's CPO (until late 2023)!

Excellent video. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

Fire content Connor! I just finished watching this for the second time

Thanks for the info about injectors and diff, I would also add the waterpump leaking and seat belts tension problems I had on my R

Great video. I like your idea of expensive. The common man’s hero!

This was super informative I heard a lot of the same things on other videos but none of them really had solutions, for example. The fuel injector cleaner! I’ve loved these cars ever since I saw them and I think I’m gearing up to grab a 2017 v6 model…wish me luck

Thanks for sharing knowledge! Great job!!

Strongly considering this car. I’m 99% sure i’ll get a 2016 model. This video is super helpful - i’ll be putting in my hours on the forums 👍🏼👍🏼💯💯

Thanks for this informative video, super helpful!

Thanks for the informative video, great job!

Honestly man you seem like a solid and thank you for taking the time of appreciating the car and bringing things into perspective. The way you broke down was so simplify and easy to understand I could play this for my nephew and he can understand what your saying. Quick question though and hopefully you see this, it’s been a big myth that Jaguars are “bad cars” and “break down easily” but as you put “it’s a super car” and most people are expecting otherwise. With that being said the people saying that never owned one sooo, yea, thoughts?

Great video, very helpful information. Cheers from the Alps

Just left a deposit on one today. Hopefully everything pans out. Thanks for this video bro 😎

Great video - really helpful! Thanks for sharing

Really appreciate it! Thanks for sharing your knowledge:)

Yep my 2012 jaguar XFR was very reliable, at 140,000 miles the injectors failed, just one bank though, it was blowing white smoke, and dripping gas out of the tailpipe, looked terrible, was only $1200 to fix. Thanks for all the work you put into this.

I just bought one. LOVE it!

Thank you, really good to know these points.

ive owned one for 6 months now and had no idea about the injector issue, ill have to grab some this weekend and run it through

I don’t ever comment but I just wanted to say I just picked up my 2016 F-Type R (also in white basically same spec lol) and your videos on the car have really informed me during the buying process! Hopefully the Jag dealer sells those trunk cover strings as mine were missing!

Great video mate, had my 2017 Coupe 6 days before the Electronic Parking Brake started showing a fault message. Turned out to be the rear right parking brake motor was stuck on and wouldn’t disengage. Following some forum surfing, this turned out to be quite a common Jag issue, Simple motor replacement, but still adore it and think it’s one of the best looking (and sounding...!) cars of all time. When it’s that pretty, you can forgive it almost anything.

Thank you bro I really was looking for this information thx

Thanks for making this Video, its really helpful ,

Thank you very much. God bless your hard work. Now I know what to look for when getting one of fhose

Bro TY! I really want to buy one of these cars. I'm going to look out for everything you mentioned.

Dope content man lettin people know whats up thanks man keep it goin!!!

Another great video and Let’s be honest, if clogged up injectors (normally caused by using regular gas) and having to change the diff oil at 40k is the only issues with any car its amazing. 1 issue you haven’t mentioned that I have is the battery fault. Mine is a 2017 FtypeR and the low battery warning came on a few times, 4 months after purchase and the dealer advised that this is a common issue with the battery, they checked the battery and had approval to change under warrantee, roll forward another 6 months and the fame fault again, Its a common enough issue that dealerships have a special tool to test the batteries and send the info back to the head office so anyone with a failing battery or low power should definitely push to get it replaced. Drive safe and enjoy your R

I may be buying one tomorrow, great info.

Amazing car nice review! I would add in water pump and plastic coolant lines... early 5.0 ( pre 2013 ) had timing chain tensioner issues as well .... overall extremely reliable 500 + HP car

Thanks so much bro. Great info!!

Great video bro

Thanks, you reminded me that I needed to buy fuel system cleaner.

Jaguar f type is my dream car thanks for the video

About to buy one, this vid really helped. Thanks dude. 🇦🇺🇺🇸

You’re the best Connor!

Great information

Great video looking to buy a 2017 jag xe r-sport, pretty sure it’s v6 but I’ll be definitely be coming back to this video in the future 🙏🏻

Thank you for an honest video like this one. Seems that for plenty of people is a shame to admit that his $100k car has any issue and they love to say that everything is perfect. I'm definitely looking for a V6 but I'll check all these points first.

just bout a 2017 SVR with 17k miles. I pick it up next weekend and am looking forward to to it. I'll def look out for these things. Thanks

Wow great knowledge I’ve learnt a lot cheers

Picking up a 16 tmrw so stoked

I’ve owned an XE since end of 2018 and been so great. This list is so small for issues, I’d be very happy with those problems compared to something more significant.

thanks! I've been telling people for years, but yours is the first vid I've seen that says this up front: If you plan on buying a used sports car, join the club FIRST - THEN start looking. the other club members have already learned the foibles, and just MIGHT have for sale what you're looking for.

The spreadsheet is what successful people do. You must be very detail-oriented. That's a great quality.

This is my next car. ! Dope video

Great video. Thanks for the info.

Sold my V8s convertible (white body, winered rooftop

Connor, I am totally geeking out on all your RWD F-Type R posts. Your passion is contagious and I feel like I am now on a second honeymoon with my own RWD F-Type R. As for this video, I ran out right after watching and sure enough the adhesive for that weatherstripping in the trunk on mine had failed (never thought to look before). The 3M weatherstrip glue did the trick. I also just had my dealer implement a couple of the Technical Bulletin’s for rattles you flashed up on the forums. I had almost given up, but once I called out the bulletin by number, they fixed it no charge. Great stuff. Keep them coming.

Great video! I bought the new 2018 F Type R out of the showroom and noticed the carpet was detached and falling off under the console on the passenger side a few weeks after driving it so when I got my stereo upgraded 3 months ago they replaced the passenger side carpet. Also those rings that hold the shield over the truck broke off. It broke the first month and I barely even opened the trunk. The other thing I would like to mention is I had only 15,000 miles on my car and my back tires became so bald that I just replaced them with new P Zeros for almost 1,000. Other than these things I absolutely love the car! I enjoy driving everyday! I’ve owned many sport cars and have to say it’s the most fun car I’ve ever owned 👍🏻😀

This was a really damn good video my friend, consider me subscribed...awesome stuff and super detailed

Great Info thank you...

Hi there from the UK. You've definitely saved a lot of people a lot of time and effort covering these issues. I've never been a Jag fan as I do hark back to the bad old days of reliability and the "pipe and slippers" image of the old cars but I'm considering moving over to a 3L V6 R-Dynamic. I'm a Porsche Cayman owner of 5 years at present and I've always thought that I've arrived at the pinnacle of my car ownership as the Cayman is just so good, but I've always admired those gorgeous looks of the F-Type and was surprised at how affordable they are. I may come to regret it if I leave Porsche and join Jag but what gets me interested is the fact that my budget of around £45k will allow me to get an 2019 F-Type with extremely low miles of say 15-20k as opposed to a 2010 Porsche 911 with around 60k miles on it. Do I go for the older 911 with virtually no depreciation and possibly investment potential along with its bullet proof build and reputation or the newer F-Type. ?

I had a 2000 Jag S type my wife put 100,000 miles on it and I swear I had zero issues, I mean zero! Not one light bulb burned out not one switch broke nothing. I was shocked at its reliability and the dang thing still looks cool all these years later. Think Ford own them then. I’m a PORSCHE guy but I am switching to the F...gonna get one soon. Thanks for the vids.

I have 2017 F-Pace, never missed a beat! Although I did get extra extended warranty just for peace of mind!

Drove a 2019 F-Type, was thinkin of swappin my 2018 Z06. Just couldn't do it, not yet anyway. The F-Type is freakin bad ass! Just still attached to the Vette. Maybe one day... Awesome video man. Thanks.

I sub and like why not? Dope contents and gems and I really love the Jaguar F Type R. Peace and Love from East Harlem NYC...

Great advice thanks

Thank you for this. I own a '13 XJ and my dream is to pair it with an F-TYPE R. I will definitely look out for all the things you've mentioned when I get one. Cheers!

Tks man, appreciated

You just answered a very annoying problem for me. The noise of some flapping at 70MPH. Thank you!!!

Thanks for the cool video, a lot of great info I have a 2017 f type and the 60k warranty has covered a lot of items, engine oil leak, new head lights, the seat belt retractor and a few minor items.the weirdest thing is it will shut off when you open the door when the idle stop button is engaged idk🤷🏾‍♂️

I drive a 2017 F-Pace V6. Amazing car, drives like a sporty sedan and never had any problems. But like you said I did my research, joined forums, waited few months for the right one, checked everything I can before I bought it and that paid well off.

A good overview of the F-Type,one thing i would add is the injector failure on the V8 is as you say fairly common,however in most occasions the Injectors seize in the cylinder head & the only way to remove them then,is a cylinder head removal,which of course would run to a very costly repair bill.

Very informative thanks

Well spoken. Thank you for the info!
