When I had it, my XF twice lit up every warning light and message on the dashboard but carried on driving normally and a sequence of stop/start of the engine finally cleared it all out.

I had that on the Autobahn at 160mph.....some poo came out

You've all heard me go on about the build quality on the F Type..... Here's the latest. I can use my mobile to start the car and have it warm up, so this morning I opened the app and entered the code. That resulted in it telling me that there was a fault and it couldnt start the car. Fault No.1 No.2...

I just traded in a V8 Jag for a V6 Kia Stinger. The way I see it, the twin turbos are worth a cylinder each Plus 0-60 in 4.7 is not too shabby....

The passenger door has a 12mm misalignment and the bonnet is out by about the same amount. The wind noise from the drivers door starts a...

Welcome to the mad house.

Nice XKR, I'm unfortunate to be inflicted with a BL Allegro, or as Jaguar would call it an F Type

Or make a hybrid using the alloy carrier from FTC5200HD and the flat bearing from GRB90247

Its pretty self explanatory what needs doing

I'm probably way off the mark with this. If you set the gap on the dizzy using a ferrous feeler gauge you can kill the pick-up mounted on the base plate, a non ferrous feeler gauge is needed. Only remedy if this has happened is to replace the base plate and pick-up assy. Apologies if I'm off the mar...

Dont worry guys, my Masters Degree is in European Law.

I fitted this system to my Range Rover

Double S Stainless Sports System, not that noisy, but unmistakably V8

Sounds even better if you drop the centre box out and just use the resonator.
