What Went Wrong With My Jaguar F Type R And How Much Did It Cost
I did not have my F Type all week because of a problem and I explain what that is and there was also a big invoice from the dealer once my car was ready to go.
I also share with you a major milestone that could not have happened without each and every one of you guys, and a hint, its considered a precious metal.
Please be sure to SUBSCRIBE if you are not already, and if you are, thanks again for the continued support. Don't forget to drop a comment as I may pick it next video for discussion.
Cheers

Hi Mark. So sorry for your loss. In regards to update issues: 2 years ago I took my 18R coupe in for a leaky front diff. Got an F pace loaner. No questions even as I live 100km away. That was going to take a couple days and get an infotainment update as well. The update wouldn’t “take” as they say, and they ended up having to order a new control unit (IMC) for infotainment. Took a total of 2 weeks. Then tried to do another software update a couple weeks later, which took 4-5 hrs of waiting in dealer lounge. I see there is another update now available ( for over the air updates??). Not in a hurry for that. Have you noticed any differences with new software update Mark? Also took the 68 E type out for a drive yesterday. Glorious day. Made a ton of people smile with many thumbs up!

hi Randal, yes looks like it’s time to start taking out the toys now.

I will look closer but the only thing so far is I had to redo my favourites on my satellite radio favorites.

Actually did have a similar problem with my 2018 F-Pace. My infotainment “live” services stopped working around 25k miles. Fortunately, all was covered under warranty but the sim and infotainment computer were replaced. It took about a week for the dealer to sort it all out, including JLR in England linking directly to my car to mess with the hardware. I was given a loaner no problem and of course their service department bent over backwards to keep me informed and happy. Fortunately this didn’t affect drivability while I experienced issues before taking it in, mostly it was a minor annoyance that the online features like weather and internet radio weren’t working. Thanks for sharing your story and glad we aren’t alone with infotainment issues!

Good morning Mark, I'm glad the dealer is taking such good care of you, I absolutely am impressed with that part of the story, I do though have an issue with the time frame to fix/update the car 😥🙄, I certainly have an issue with the cost of the repairs, I believe you said there's 33,000 km on the car why do the brakes need flushing (or such type work),or is this a money grab 🤔🙄, I had a Porche 944 turbo when they first came out, the first " service" cost me $1500, oil change and whatever putting around crap they claim needed to be done, I wasn't impressed and couldn't justify the cost for an oil change, yes I was very disappointed (I'm saying it politely), glad you got the car back, a week (5 days) long time to wait n install a sin card, very disappointing, its a tiny item put it on a plane or something, ok I'm done my rant, enjoy your car as the weather is warming up, Hi to your family and stay safe my friend 😎🇨🇦🏁

To be honest, some of the services may be a bit much and once the car is off warranty, I will certainly scrutinize the type of servicing that they do. I just do not want to chance them saying my “service is not up to date” and void some type of coverage if something happens down the road. have a great day again Scott and hope you are keeping well.

Hi Mark First off our condolences to you and your family with regards to your Dad I was interested in this invoice for your maintenance on your F Type. I can understand the brake flush every three years as well as the oil and filter change The one I was surprised with is the transfer case fluid change. The maintenance does not list fluid changes for transfer case differentials and transmission. I agree it is very important and on my 2016 R I will do these this spring with only 38K kms. How did the dealer decide to do only the transfer case and not the front and rear diffs ? Thank you for your very good videos of the Jaguar we both own.

Also, yes these are great cars and still never fails to impress.

One thing to consider is the F is a pure sports car. Meaning, the platform was designed ground-up to be a topless 2-seater with racing power, like the C, D, and E Types, and because of that its actually lighter as a convertible. There are almost no modern sports cars on sale today, just heavy OEM chop top sedans, like the frankenstein soft top 911, Mustang, Corvette (the last Corvette sports car was the C1), even a Miata doesn't qualify as a sports car bcs it doesn't have racing power. Even my 1-series BMW convertible is a family sedan with back seats and a 4100 lb OEM hack job. So if you like pure sports cars, it would be a shame not to take advantage of the F platform's incredible topless power:weight and stiffness.
