I had that same noise with my F-Type! Pretty sure it was a wet/damp/cold belt as well and went away after a bit of driving! I also had the same issue with the lights. I could barely drive the car at night, but thought I was just going blind! Great video!

Water runs from the rear to a secondary bottle under the bonnet. Reason its in the boot is the bonnet can warp if you man handle it so they out it in the boot to lower the chances of people knacking the bonnet.

Nice vid buddy. I seen a black with black trim Ftype parked next to a black and chrome. To me the all black looked cheap and less premium. Was interesting to see them together to compare.

5:01 is the rain sensor. Rain on the glass changes the index of refraction so the light is no longer totally reflected inside the glass and escapes, causing the sensor to trigger and the wipers to wipe.

Good video

That noise is a belt tensioner bearing is knackered.

The washer fluid is placed in the back for better weight distribution

This noise could be a worn supercharger couplig/isolator which will eventually fail.Quite expensive on the Labour time.Cheers John.

I have had 2 XKRs. I love them. But the lights being pointed low is a definite issue. My GF's lights in her Hyundai are higher and brighter than mine. I'm going to upgrade the bulbs to brighter and whiter ones. My lights are, however, adaptive, which I really appreciate because I live in an area with a lot of dark country roads, so the ability to see around the many corners is very valuable to me.

Not sure what year JLR added this spec, but at least as of the 2020 model year F-types feature "AFS," standing for Adaptive Front Lighting System. The owner's manual for my '20 F-type P300 convertible says: > I definitely appreciate this AFS feature when driving dark twisty stretches in the hills were I live, when the adaptive LEDs throw a longer, brighter, more focused beam at higher speeds. But it seems to me unlikely that model years not equipped with AFS from the factory could have those features retrofitted, though it wouldn't hurt to ask when you seek service for your problems. BTW, for those who'd scoff that the 2.0-liter, 4-pot P300 F-types don't cut it (versus 6- and 8-cylinder versions), I can report complete satisfaction with the 296hp/295lb-ft torque that mine generates (spec'd by JLR to do 0-60mph in 5.6 seconds), with 30mpg highway fuel efficiency. What's more, the P300s' lighter weight upfront yields more nimble cornering/handling than more powerful F-types. And it'll still deliver those oddly admired "burbles and pops" from overrun on shifts, when you get on throttle (though admittedly the roar is more subdued than with higher-HP F-types). My BRGreen F-type had only 2,800 miles on the clock when I bought it as a lease return (at a lovely discount) and it still has several years remaining on its CPO warranty, including monthly GPS map updates, free annual maintenance, and complimentary roadside assistance (unneeded so far). In the U.S., the 2020 model year was the next-to-last to offer the P300 version and the last boasting Ian Callum's original design (vs. the often-reviled "facelift" revision from 2021 on, with narrow, horizontal headlights that now resemble so many other cars, including newer Mustangs. And sundry "issues" reported with F-types in prior years seem to have been sorted by 2020 so I'm loving mine, which has been a blast to drive and trouble-free.

I got rid of mine because it was always in the shop !!! I bought a 2022 Lexus LC 500 with performance pack . I just love it and it won’t see the garage for years to come . 130,000 Canadian but worth ever penny I spent .

That noise.... 😂😂😂😂 That is awful hahaha

That engine note sounds like an angry cat... Fitting lol

Agree with you mate, on the looks and the sound for the money, right up there. I thought that camera on the windscreen, if it is a camera, was a light and rain sensor… but I’m not sure.

It’s you’re super charger coupling, the spring is worn so the rotors squeak at low rpm, mine had the same problem the reason it stops when you rev it is coz it stabilises at higher rotor rpm

If it's been lowered, there's nothing wrong with the lights. Adaptive lights have a preset default and it's based on the factory ride height. I learned this in my GTI. I had to go into OBD11 and readjust them. Not sure the process on F Types though...

That quirky sound, when the engine is at idle before you rev up, could be from the belt or a pulley driving the belts that need lubrication.

You might just have headlights adjusted to low, park up against a brick wall and adjust them a an inch up, should be an Allen key style adjuster the MOT people use to sort beam pattern.

I love my xenon headlights but I have auto high beam assist & side spot lights when I turn into curves.

It’s about a 700 pound fix at jag… normal mechanic will charge around 400-500 for coupling fix

I’ve got the f type R v8 white and black I also live in Oxford we should do a car meet?

4:57 Yes the headlamps are really poor on the pre-facelift car. Love my pixel lights on my P450 😂

Sorry if this got asked a lot before but what is it like being tall and driving one of these? I'm 6ft2, my daily is a TT coupe and I enjoy the roomy cabin but liking the F-type more and more. I wish I could rent one!

6:00 Did you consider a convertible given your height? Agree the F Type is a great choice for taller drivers.

Did CEL come on? Any codes if it did? Sounds like a belt. Maybe. Get it check quickly sicne you are under warranty.

might be a superchanger ratteling costs you less than 10 bucks to repair

The squeak is a loose belt somewhere. Lights are great - yours are not set up correctly The washer fluid adds extra weight at the back - great for the RWD models The V6's are weird

That noise sounds like a loose ,squeaky fanbelt

Slight leak from the water pump onto the belts, belt squeal.

You won’t get a black P380 badge I’m afraid - put black badges on my old P300 and black model badges are from MY21 onwards…

Its not a camera its the rain sensor on the windscreen.

Morning, Your wierd noise sounds very like a belt squeek, lso your Camera on the windscreen looks very like my S4`s Drive assist camera, not sure if they can be used for other things unfortunately

Duh… Just take the car to the dealership for service and questions like Honda owners; please.🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Did you ever find out what was causing that rattling noise in the engine (before the high pitched squeal)? I have exactly the same issue and its stumped my local dealership - apparently its not the supercharger as they disconnected it and could still hear the noise...thanks in advance 🙂

Because the V6 & V8 engine is too heavy, to keep 50:50, the glass washer tank stay behind

What’s the best way to black out the front?

Really surprised by the reaction mine gets.... so many people compliment me on it... apart from BMW drivers who drive aggressively when they see me driving it..

How tall are you I'm 6 ft 3 and have no problems and I'm in a convertible

Could be the water pump on it way out

Haunted probably. Sage the car dear..

Timing belt or chain..100%

Content is nice but the wind noise is horrible.

It may be a loose belt .

Belt tensioner pulley. No big deal

Use a belt lubricant

put your phone on fixed focus ;)

Might be the belt of pulley...or both. Get money ready.

Slipping belt

Terrible sound quality

Bro your cars broken
