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.
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!
@@tootalltodrive Had exactly the same squealing noise when it was cold and wet last month. I've booked it in to be looked at in February but typically with the warmer weather it seems to have stopped. Looking at forums, theres a lot of chat about Supercharger pulleys? With headlights, there are some adjustment screws behind the lights in the engine bay, mine seemed to be directed straight at the floor, so gave them half a turn and they seem much better now!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 .
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...
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.
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.
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!
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 🙂
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
@@tootalltodrive I’ve had both and would say cabin space is the same front to back, don’t know about height - suspect you get more with the pano roof (my coupe has solid roof)
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
I have heard about this “extra” weight it can’t be true though surely 😂 I will ask about the lights on the service and see how much everything comes to…
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..
I concur about BMW drivers, only last Saturday I was cruising the motorway , minding my own business when one of them came screaming up the inside of me in a gear that would probably put his pistons in harms way to get my attention, he then gunned it expecting me to rise to the challenge, the wife and I just looked at each other and thought .......peasant.
@@Paulywauly1969 I was overtaking a lorry, and a BMW came up behind flashing its lights... normally I never ever bite, but is it really so bad to once switch into sports mode and show them they are messing with the wrong car... within the speed limit of course 🙂
@TooTallToDrive unfortunately, I need my licence for work and my jag needs my work to run! There are so many 'sneaky' devices installed on motorways that, you could quite easily lose your licence in about 2 mins.... on an A road out in the country ....now thats a different story!

I am going to look into this, It will be with the garage on in March so will have a proper look then
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.
I think I agree 👀 I have changed my mind so many times but I think I’m sticking with Chrome

I don’t like your large amount of knowledge… is this going to be pricey? 👀
nah just a few buck if you do it yourself its very easy to do@@tootalltodrive
The washer fluid is placed in the back for better weight distribution
Surely not 😂
This noise could be a worn supercharger couplig/isolator which will eventually fail.Quite expensive on the Labour time.Cheers John.
Oh dear, let’s hope they are nice to me 🙏
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 .
The LC500 is a good looking car, can’t lie. V8 version I presume? I have the option to renew my warranty and I am undecided.
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.
Yeah, Jag never diagnosed it so need to book it in again… 👊
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...
Yeah, not too sure but thanks for the suggestion!
That noise is a belt tensioner bearing is knackered.
Sounds expensive
I love my xenon headlights but I have auto high beam assist & side spot lights when I turn into curves.
Auto high beam is definitely the winner. I drove an Evoque with LED’s with high beam assist and it was beautiful, I could see 😂
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 think because they are LED I don’t think this is possible
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.
Yeah seems to be a rain sensor although didn’t realise the wipers were automatic 😂
I’ve got the f type R v8 white and black I also live in Oxford we should do a car meet?
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!
6ft 7 here and still got enough room. You’ll have no problems. Head down to your local dealer and ask to sit in it!
That engine note sounds like an angry cat... Fitting lol
Haha, becomes more Jaguar like every day 😂
4:57 Yes the headlamps are really poor on the pre-facelift car. Love my pixel lights on my P450 😂
They are dreadful
Did CEL come on? Any codes if it did? Sounds like a belt. Maybe. Get it check quickly sicne you are under warranty.
Will get it booked in!
It’s about a 700 pound fix at jag… normal mechanic will charge around 400-500 for coupling fix
Oh shoot. Will warranty cover me? 👀
That noise.... 😂😂😂😂 That is awful hahaha
Thanks for the support 😂
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 🙂
The 2 recent video kind of goes through that. Shameful plug lol. Kind of/not really 😂
What’s the best way to black out the front?
Wrap I think, however, you need to take the front bumper off to do so I believe…
@@tootalltodrive yea maybe some high quality plasti dip you could keep grille on and tape it off I might try that
Let me know how you get on
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
Yeah I think it might be the rain sensor as another comment. Bit frustrating but is what it is
6:00 Did you consider a convertible given your height? Agree the F Type is a great choice for taller drivers.
I think the problem with the convertible is because of the roof storage there is less leg room in the front, but may be wrong
@@tootalltodrive I’ve had both and would say cabin space is the same front to back, don’t know about height - suspect you get more with the pano roof (my coupe has solid roof)
@@screamingwheels98 yeah I have pano roof
might be a superchanger ratteling costs you less than 10 bucks to repair
All sorted now!
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
I have heard about this “extra” weight it can’t be true though surely 😂 I will ask about the lights on the service and see how much everything comes to…
Slight leak from the water pump onto the belts, belt squeal.
Yeah could be a thing
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…
Ah no worries then
Good video
Thanks 🙏
How tall are you I'm 6 ft 3 and have no problems and I'm in a convertible
6ft 7 👀 but if you took the roof off I’d have no headroom issues too 😂
Its not a camera its the rain sensor on the windscreen.
Ah makes sense, thanks!
Because the V6 & V8 engine is too heavy, to keep 50:50, the glass washer tank stay behind
Makes perfect sense 👀
Duh… Just take the car to the dealership for service and questions like Honda owners; please.🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
It’s a good way to ask others by posting on UA-cam 🤷🏻♂️
That noise sounds like a loose ,squeaky fanbelt
Hopefully not expensive 😬

Belt tensioner pulley. No big deal
Expensive?
Not very. They do have a sealed bearing. So, they are a bit more costly than just buying a single nut or some other ridiculously simple thing
Content is nice but the wind noise is horrible.

Use a belt lubricant
Hoping this is all that’s required
Timing belt or chain..100%
Nope turns out it wasn’t anything serious and was just as it had been sat still for some time it needed running. ✌🏻
@@tootalltodrive that sound when cold it's timing chain belt..or the wheels of the belt need to be oiled
@@commantrosexetlos4700 Jag said it was just dry due to lack of use and therefore the squeak, but pleased nothing major 🤞
