I cringed when I saw you close the bonnet from one side. closing the bonnet from center will always be best to keep from misalignment of the panel gaps.

My experience is, that is only true of bonnets that are already misaligned, hence why mine closes so easily without the need to use 2 hands.

Cheers Louis, I had the same on my V8 2015, but the battery unit on my telematics unit had 3 wires on the plug supplying 3.9V to differing parts of it I'm guessing. I did exactly the same as you pressing the SOS to test and a call came in LOL. I was shocked initially and there was a little speaker tucked away in the centre somewhere and whilst I embarrassingly apologised. I could hardly understand the caller, the speaker was squawking terribly! For some reason once I had removed the battery and replaced it back in, it worked fine and it has not come back. I didn't know about holding the spanner button so thanks for that! Good lad. I've got Michelins going onto my Jag too, soon.

When removing the injector bolts warm up the engine properly. Like how you want motor hot to change oil filter, spark plugs, you want the engine heat to help remove the injector bolts. Instead of bad looking duct tape to help direct water away from the injectors, order the factory rubber pieces used on later model F types from the factory. Look and work much better. Plus OEM fit and function.

The design was clearly flawed and unacceptable in this day and age. DIY hell when out of warranty. Mine went back to dealer 😢

You did all that work, and didn't replace the rotos and pads? You were right there, with the car jacked up, all the necessary parts and tools ready to go, and you DIDN'T do the job? The pads had (according to you) maybe 6 months to go, and you just stopped when you were an hour or so away from actually doing the job? You must be retired. Or stupid.

Good video. I just did my V6 FType brake pads at 30kmiles. Two thoughts. My front brake pads wore quicker than my rears. I also opted to have my rotors “recut” or “turned” which was about 50 USD per rotor. Jag allows for 2mm of wear before the rotors are inadequate for use.

Hi Louis, not pointless at all. Always great to see people tackle jobs such as brakes on their own F-Types.

Adding the deflectors will help, though corrosion between the head squeezing around the injectors is probably why these fail like other similar ones exposed to atmosphere. I definitely recommend spraying the shit out of it with ACF50 with a HVLP paint gun.

Louis, I also don’t like the water ingress, but I have the luxury of garage parking. I have removed the engine cover many 1000’s of miles ago… no regrets, and I also pop the hood open when returning from a drive and parking in the garage. This helps remove engine heat. I am hoping to avoid bad injectors with high quality fuel and occasional 2 hour drives. Good Luck in 2024

@@user-xi2gb1fb6i . Hi. If you do I strongly recommend that you keep the Jaguar warranty going. First F Type I was sold , the diff had gone. That was on 18500miles. Went back after 2 days. Second F Type :- O2 sensors replaced twice. 2nd occasion they stripped the thread on removal resulting in a new catalytic converter.(3k ) .Not uncommon apparently. Tensioner on supercharger replaced, then whole supercharger replaced. Issues with the telematics,continuous texts saying car had been stolen. And currently now the upholstery has decided to come away from the seat backing. This was covered on the extended warranty fortunately. It was just over £900 . I didn’t extend the warranty this year so I’ve got everything crossed. Mines Sept 2018 with 24k on the clock. Having said all of this it’s a gorgeous car and I do love it. My friend has a 2014 plate and had no issues. No car brand is perfect in my opinion. Take your time, proper test drive, include reversing and hard turning. If you hear a knocking then the differential has gone. Best wishes 👍🙂

My tupance as a 2017 v6 Awd se coupe owner; keep it garaged, regularly check coolant level, every six months or so use injector cleaner as known to clog up with poor Q fuel, replace diff oil every 2 years not 3, obviously regular maintenance using 0w20 oil (very sensitive to oil weight) and every couple of years have an oil sample test for peace of mind. No issues in 6 / 7 (cricky) years of ownership other than initial delivery cosmetic QC issues fixed in yr 1. I have no inclination to sell. Peoples expectations for QC, reliability and running cost needs to be realistic when dealing with a super model
