I have owned more Jaguar cars than any other person I know. I have never had 1 let me down. My brother is a recovery truck driver and he says "I wouldn't own a BMW if you gave me one they are so unreliable"
Hi Ben, I found this video quite by chance, and what I'm about to tell you will surprise you ! The F-Type you bought from Glasgow (East Kilbride) is now my car !!!!! I bought it in March this year, for less than you paid ! the garage did explain the previous owner (yourself) had returned the car after purchase because of injector faults. Five of the injectors were changed for brand new ones by a Jaguar main dealership at around 2k. I bought the car with a full years warranty and to date it hasn't missed a beat !! I've also done the tape 'bodge' to cover the gaps on the engine cover. Next question, your bonnet vent fix, that ad and price is for the right hand vent only, where did you get the left hand vent from ? Look forward to hearing from you, Cheers Richard 👍
Free advice from a rustproofer! If that car has come from Scotland- get it professionally rustproofed at the very earliest opportunity. Scotland is notorious for taking a very heavy toil on car chassis due to the roads being plastered in salt. I can guarantee your F-Type will have extensive corrosion on the the chassis.
He’s absolutely correct regarding potential injector corrosion as a direct result of water ingress from the open bonnet grills. This is more likely if the car spends its life outdoors/not under a cover. I have a 2015 v6s, the owner before me had injector failure at 65k miles and paid full JLR dealer prices to remedy. I called the JLR dealership before buying the car from a private dealer and they gave me the full job sheet. £8,000 including vat. Sadly for my cars prior owner these issues could have been fixed for a fraction of the price had it gone to an independent specialist. Fortunately for me, I now have the common age/wear related issues dealt with, injectors, coolant pipes, chains etc. My advice: incredible value for money car at the moment (I originally wanted a cayman gts), but it does need maintenance, do your homework and spend some money carrying out preemptive maintenance. Also, if the car is going to be kept outdoors, find a way to stop water ingress from the bonnet grills. I bought the JLR carbon grills and used high temp plastic weld the block the little holes from the inside. The engine does not need air flow from these holes to cool. Also, also, also, I had the diff oil serviced recently, get this done more regularly than the suggested service interval and I had the exhaust valves replaced at Tony Banks in Leeds for around £400. I couldn’t recommend buying one more, great car - buy one!
In 2015 I bought a 2014 Jaguar XJ-R. Within 4 days, it had broken down and required £7.5k of repairs. Thankfully, my consumer rights protected me and I got the work coverd by the dealership. I got a full inspection by a Jaguar specialist, which wasn't cheap, yet highlighted even more issues. I returned the car and haven't looked at any Jaguar product since!

Had two Jags. Both 100% reliable. Didn't miss a beat. Over 60k in both. Bought BMW and have had loads of issues and miss my Jags...please don't generalise..
My brother is a recovery truck driver and he says the most common car he recovers (by a country mile) is pretty much anything by BMW. He drives a Jaguar XJ. And he drives the XJ because "we rarely recover them"
Nice video! This weakness is something anyone buying a pre 2020 RWD F-Type should be aware of. Regarding the vents, there are no newer, older or V8 vents. Both the open and the more closed "shrouded" vents that you fitted were fitted to all RWD F-Types from the very beginning until the 2nd facelift when they changed the front and bonnet design. The open ones came with cars with the chrome exterior trim and the shrouded ones were part of the black pack. So the better vents are simply black pack vents. As mentioned by others, the water ingress doesn't make the injectors fail but just makes them corrode and hard to get out. Even if you have the black pack vents it's good to add something to deflect the water from the engine block. To reduce the risk of injectors failing in the first place it's just a matter of using proper fuel, an injector cleaner and driving the car properly.
Yeah, people buy a Jag and expect it to be problem-free but use cheap fuel, let it sit for long periods of time, drive short distances, never use a recommended fuel injector, skip maintenance, don't research on possible issues, don't invest in an OBD reader and blame the brand when something goes wrong... It's like buying a house and letting it rot over time due to lack of maintenance and care and blame the original builders!
Great car. I bought the same grey model a couple of months ago (2016) with 17000 miles on the clock. I was already aware of the bonnet vent problem, so I don't take it out in the rain, and whenever I wash it, I cover those vents. They are open holes to allow hot air to escape. With your aftermarket ones, you might limit the engine's ability to cool down. What I would suggest and I'm doing it soon on mine, is to change the cooling system pipes from plastic to aluminium. These tend to crack. The real problem though is when the crossover heater pipe breaks, it loses a lot of water instantly. Thanks for the video.
I’ve had five jags no problems at all with any of them . Showing off never pays . Most reliable car I’ve ever owned . Problems with these cars as you say is load of 💩💩💩💩
No excuse for this video. I bought an identical F type in April 2014 and still own it, one of the very first coupes delivered. All it’s needed in 10 years is for the spoiler motor to be released. Pound for pound the best and most reliable car I’ve ever had. Your unpleasant claim that Jaguar is known for unreliability is rubbish. Jaguars reliability far exceeds modern day BMW and most Mercedes marques. Maybe if you hadn’t thrashed it you would have got more out of it.
You couldn’t be more wrong. Jag’s are very very unreliable. I worked in the motor trade for 12 years and we wouldn’t put a Jag on the market. It’d be traded straight away same story with Range Rovers too. Nice to drive when they work but that’s seldom enough
NB ‘spoiler motor to be REPLACED’. As for water getting into the engine, no. And it’s been parked outside for 10 years. The only issue I had with the bonnet was when I had to get it re sprayed after my Golden Retriever Dolly trashed it thinking there was a rabbit in the engine…In 10 years I’ve also had the F Pace hybrid and currently own an SVR. No issues whatsoever. The F Pace SVR is simply the best performance SUV ever made.
They are unreliable, if they weren’t it wouldn’t take main dealers seven weeks to look at issues when things go wrong as so many of them have already broken and are on the ramps. Maybe you’ve just been lucky. The experience I have had has made me vow never to buy a Jaguar again. They will be out of business before long anyway because of their crazy marketing stance
I've just bought a 2018 V6S, it does have a full Jaguar service history. I was planning on modifying the engine cover, but now after watching your video I can see the previous owner has already fitted the later bonnet vents. From what I read on the F-Type forum, the water ingress doesn't cause the injectors to fail, it just means if they do, corrosion makes them extremely difficult to extract. The recommendation was to use premium fuel (Esso or Shell V-power), and maybe once a year add some fuel injector cleaner.
The F-type's reliability is heavily dependent on its owner's understanding about cars in general and code reading, this engine, wear and tear parts, driving habits and regular maintenance. If you don't want to learn these things, buy a Toyota. I own a 2018 manual transmission V6 and it's been incredibly reliable.
Very well done video, sad about the first buy, it can happen to anyone sadly BUT luckily it was within the time limit, what a shock to someone just OUT of the time limit. As with all cars, they are fine until they break down. Good luck for the future with the latest one!
I have had 5 jags (S6, V8, V12, 2 of which were supercharged) over a period of 25 years and all have been reliable. The current 2002 XJ Sovereign 4 L has 227,000 miles. All jags require "overmaintenance" and regularly use.
The bonnet vent positioning is based on it being rear wheel drive, the AWD one have the vents wider apart and slightly further forward. The vents you've fitted onto yours are the same that came with my V6, i imagine youve probably done a better job fitting them than JLR did with mine as i have also experienced the same injector issue. Currently got a few sheets of teflon oven liner taped over the engine cover which seems to have fixed the problem!
Had the same issue - covered under warranty for me, but got lucky! Dudley at Wraptor Customs will sort this for you for a decent amount, appreciate this is probably not needed now, but anyone else - Wraptor Customs is the place!
I have a 2015 V6s, in the US no problems. But mine has the vents like the one for the V8 that you replaced yours with which is odd. I bought mine used but doubt that the previous owner changed them out. I wonder if Jaguar changed them to the more open vents that caused your problems in later year models. Anyway, I absolutely love the car, still a blast to drive and even though mine is 10 years old, I still get people admiring the car. Problems or not, it's a classic and will never look dated or old IMO.
Consumer Protection Act gives a full refund up to 30 days after purchase if the car is rejected. After that the dealer may offer a repair which you are obliged to accept.
Hardly thrashed it. I had a E30 320ise and being 24 I was heavy with the right foot. The car never missed a beat and I could service it myself. I just think most modern engines are clearly not very good. We have the technology to make a car last for 100s of years.
What an example of brilliant engineering/styling! Let's engineer and design a hole right into the engine bay that will literally pour water onto electrical components!
Not just fuel injectors. Watch out for leaking diffs and as for a JLR main dealer sorting it, they managed to mess mine up and wanted £6k for a replacement diff on a V6 340bhp model. Also O2 sensor failed as did sat-nav aerial. All in under 40k miles on a 2014 model.
