The heat won’t destroy the tape ?

Obrigado. Estava a pensar fazer isso mesmo mas achei que o calor do motor seria um problema para a tape.

Thanks so much!!

Thanks for the guide!

Kinda horrible how jaguar just destroyed their brand.. They had such amazing cars. Good video tho

Nice one Louis, love France myself, been down there quite a bit, if you go again drive back north on the Route De Napolean, you enter part of the Alps and some of the views are great!!

Bravo Louis. Good to see you out and about in the F-Type. The former Reims pit and grand stand was a nice stop.

Great video….. just left my dealership who wanted to charge me £250 to do a full diagnostic before they could remove this fault!!! Told then not to bother and found this arrival on line. About to order the battery and change myself. After driving various Jaguar models for over 20 years, JLR service support has hit rock bottom…,.

Great job Thank you for posting and nice F Type

This service mode thing, scares me. I have a 2017 F type base model. I dont plan on replacing the discs, just pads. Is it still necessary?

Well what can i say watched video. Ordered the part 13.11p fitted exactly as shown reset instructions perfect. What a star perfect money saving tip. Thankyou

My 2.0 has them

So what was dangerous about it? And who could have been hurt? A moth? Are you saying that a 4x4 with bull-bars is less dangerous? 😂

Hi. What kind of battery was it?

My 2018 jaguar xe r sport has the same issue thanks to your video I can now get it fix on my own

Hi ,did you have any problem with ur car alarm when this battery it was low ?

Id be seriously talking to the neighbours about the loudness of music mine eventually stopped after i smashed his hifi was worth the 150 fine

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.

Diamond cuts, Probably the most idiotic and impractical car styling idea in all time...

Great to solve an electrical issue and eliminate the dash warning. Job well done.

my 2018 rwd p380 has had two lots of injector failures in 6 months, thank god for extended warranty. but debating to sell as its been at JRL services centres for a substancial of my ownership. just cant find a suitable car to replace it

3 injectors needed on a 4 year old F380 with 5400 miles £3.5k

Thanks for the video, really helpful. For my 2016 model the battery was different so I suggest to check it before buying the battery. I replaced it but still get SOS message, maybe I have to drive some miles to kind of "charge it" but the problem could be potentially somewhere else....

I get this message on my 2017 and always forget about it until the next time I start the car. Great to know I can fix this myself. Excellent video and instructions! Thank you for taking the time to document the process.

Your time must have been worth more than the £165 refurb cost, surely?

Loved this popping up in my feed 😊

Use the alum.tape,because of the heat,just in case.

Design a car and drive it for five years so you can make fixes for all the stupid engineering you built in. Either that or buy your engines from Toyota or Honda. They seem to have things figured out.

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.

OCD has entered the chat.

It is a Jaguar. So just wait, new day, new problem.

You done a excellent job there. I replaced my Jaguar XF dashboard not so long ago, the leather came apart. My next mission is to find someone to replace the front windscreen, water has started to come inside. Is there anyone good, you can recommend to replace windscreen?

It's actually shocking how easy it comes apart and what few tools will do it.

Well done. And I agree.. better to spend your energy driving the F-Type, then worrying about your video quality.

Nice Louis! Would have annoyed myself too with the leather being scratched. I saw two divots on the glove box leather, were you able to get them out? Great job though!

Get a car cover or garage .

Ins cos are writing cars off like there's mo tomorrow. most of them are flood damaged 😊

Changed oil on my 18R coupe both ways. Out the bottom and suction. Kind of a pain to get shield off. But I’m lucky to have a 4 post hoist. Not concerned about service records. I take pics of each service event. Also never intend to sell the car, as it is a perfect 50 year younger sibling to the 68 E type. Keep up the good info on videos!!

Brilliant UA-cam thanks

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.

Love the OEM upgrades !

When removing your battery Positive connection, your Socket/Ratchet is flailing around….and if it is was to touch anything metal….😮 You should disconnect the negative terminal IMO. Good video, gave enough info for someone to have a good.

Hi Louis. Found your vid by accident….very interesting as this was the same reason I sold my Ftype. Discovering the amount of corrosion lower down scared the hell out of me as a long term car. Gutted as it was a dream car. I’ll put a vid with pics out when I get a mo. Mine had pooling on top of where gearbox meets block. Wiring harnesses was underwater. The design was clearly flawed and unacceptable in this day and age. DIY hell when out of warranty. Mine went back to dealer 😢

So, the guy driving round in his F type all macho n stuff,......... needs a heated steering wheel? 😂

Is that the first shunt it’s had? Those mesh bonnet vents are off an earlier car.

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. You also jogged my memory for the maintenance mode for replacement etc. At my last service I was told that the brake pads were at 50% with a looming MOT, I just said, ok it should pass then!! No advisory either! except tyres, as usual!.

Mine has rubber flaps over that gap. I think my hood is different as well. I have a '16 R. Did they change it between '15 and '16?

Nicely done Louis & thank you for sharing, this one option I don't have but must admit I've not missed it since I don't drive early mornings anymore ;)
