Congrats! I’ve got a 2014 F-Type V8S in white. Owned it a couple years and love it! I almost pulled the trigger on a 2016 R that was white with carbon brakes. Fully loaded, low miles, great price and I passed, ugh... wish I had bought it, I couldn’t buy that car for that price today. The convertible is tons of fun during the summer though.
@@kellyjensen9425 absolutely a blast! A little update on the car, it’s still under CPO warranty which is why I got it. Thank goodness though because something went wrong with the catalytic conv. but so far Jaguar has been awesome picking it up in my area and taking it to the nearest dealership in Little Rock, AR. I can’t wait to get it back, let the snow melt and get back out in it!
@@ddcok21 Wow! The cats already had issues? I’m genuinely surprised. I wonder if your car didn’t have the patch that significantly reduces the exhaust overrun pops. Mine had the patch and I requested a different patch that gives you the pops back. I’m pretty sure the whole software patch was to save the cats. If customers didn’t complain about the way the car sounded after updating the ecu then they would leave it. If you complained they were instructed to upload a different patch. Anyway, glad it’s sorted. I’m going to tune mine so less worried about the cats. Mine has been rock solid, i beat the snot out of it. I’ll be posting some racing videos of mine against some Z06’s on my channel chillznax. I only occasionally upload but will have a decent FType racing video soon.
Bro thanks for these videos! I don't know how to explain it, but most videos I have found on UA-cam dealing with this car seemed to be geared toward people that either alrady know a lot about cars or people who simply plan on just going to mechanic. Your videos are great because it feels like someone talking to me while chilling on the porch and not someone talking to me like they're giving a class room lecture. Also I can't say thank you enough for addressing everyday issues like things coming loose! Again most videos focus on the big expensive "potential" problems that will require a mechanic and not the small but annoying issues that we can fix ourselves.
Took a F-Type 400 out for a test drive a week ago and am now researching the car to see if I'm interested. This is by far the most practical two videos that I have come across. A lot of people focus on what it's like to drive (and my test drive was certainly fun), but if I'm going to purchase I'm more interested in learning what it's like to live with. Thanks for the time that you put into these, and for the creativity in producing something different. I learned quite a bit.
I want to thank you again for your F-Type videos. After watching them I decided to buy an R last year and absolutely LOVE it. Didn't buy it to impress anyone but it gets a LOT of attention and comments (almost too much)...super fun car and it's like having a piece of art in my garage...find myself staring at it on the reg!!
Best absolutely the best comprehensive maintenance problems video ever sir. Ive watched a few on the f type and walked away 10 minutes in. They seemed lkke they had no idea what a wrench was
Hey Connor. I really appreciate your videos and it’s helped me a lot with making my purchase decision to get an F type. I also was inspired by you to start creating videos on cars so thank you for making this channel and posting awesome content. Take care man.
The rubberized textures to the buttons is a very common issue. This has been used time and time again on old cellphones, zoom mics, etc. . . and they always wear. It's nice to know that there's a remedy.
bro i've learned so much from you in just these 2 parts of this video. appreciate you sharing the knowledge and making the content. i'm in the market for a ftype R
Thanks as always Connor! A while back you swapped out brake pads because of the dust they were leaving on your rims. I have applied Sonax polymer net shield sealant on my rims. While it does not reduce the dust, I helps prevent the brake dust from sticking. All I do is hit the rims with some water and the brake dust comes off...
Good vid, man. For anyone worried about the water pump. I have 2011 XJ Supercharged with same engine. My water pump failed at 8 years 80K miles. You may not see coolant leak (I did not), but if you notice lower coolant that is a sign of a slow leak. When it fails completely you'll know. "Coolant Low" warning and engine will begin to overheat. Stop, tow to shop, easy $500 repair no big deal. The F-Type is a sports car so will likely be driven harder than a big luxury sedan so this may fail sooner in a car driven harder or more mileage. The sticky button problem is well known in a lot of European brands, makeup remover wipes takes care of that easy. Enjoy your JagUar!
Super useful info dude - I've had my R around a year but dreading the day i get O2 sensor issues. another tip i found from the forums, dealerships are applying updates that reduce the crackles! Be sure to ask them not to apply this or apply the corrective update (a lot of dealerships don't even know the corrective update exists so give it a little google first)
What Shaun said below. I really appreciate the reference to the jag forums/community, the diy and real world perspective in your videos. Looking forward to reviewing all the rest of your f-type videos.
Excellent advice thanks so much! Parts you mentioned are inexpensive but you have to trust a mechanic that won't rip you off which is rampant in my area.
Just bought my F-Type. Thankfully the seller was transparent about the coolant leak with those y pipes. He already purchased the replacement Y pipe but he purchased a metal version instead of plastic. I suggest purchasing the Metal replacement part because you are at significant less risk to no risk of this ever happening again. This cost me $300 of labor taking it to the mechanic and the metal part was $250.
Hi must say that your info on F type is so helpful,i plan to purschase f type in the upcoming year,and yes i agree with you,if buying from a private seller,i would change engine and diff oil.for peace of mind👍👍👌.your DIY give me the guts to do work myself..Again Connor,great work and continued success..Thanks
Hi Mate, appreciate your videos, will watch part one also, just in the research phase that you mentioned, reading forums, trying to understand the issues etc. Really love the F Type R, would love to get around a 2016 model (nicely depreciated in $$) plus it has the old school front lights which look way better and of course the louder exhaust. Was also looking at a Lexus LC 500, Porsche Cayman S and Merc AMG C63S, all similar ish pricing for the year BUT the i seem to be in ove with the Jag just the styling and the sheer fun driving it. I am in Australia and it doesn't rain as much where i am, more of a drier warmer climate, so i am hoping that will assist with some of the issues people have mentioned (corrosion) due to a non wintery climate.
first and foremost congratulations on your new addition. I found an F type just like your! same color, year, trying to make decision on whether to the purchase it. concerned about issues with it. I've been looking at your videos to help with this purchase. Thanks for your information on the f type. Tee!
Thanks brother! The f type is a solid car for the most part. If the car is out of warranty then I would recommend a cheap third party warranty for peace of mind!!
This video was super helpful, thank you so much. I legit have the sticky button issues with my car and my coolant pipe I’m guessing blew “the Y pipe” I’m going to start tearing my car apart today and see what the actual issue is. After seeing this video I’m betting it’s that Y pipe.
Jaguar Land Rover has amended the warranty period on Oxygen Sensors to 15years/150,000 miles on most 2013 and up JLR models, F-Type being one of them. You should be able to get reimbursed provided you installed OEM parts, and have a receipt/invoice. There’s also a PCM software revision related to this matter. Great videos and info!
I bet those dislike on this video are from JLR since Connor are exposing their lack of reliability and he's doing a better job than the dealer themselves!!
I have got the same rattle. Appears with low audio frequencies as well. I didn’t rip it apart as I saw SRS symbol within that area. But, there is a nut that holds the quarter glass to the body, I found that to be little loose, ended up tightening it by hand to be best as I didn’t know the torque spec. I should say that reduced the rattle but didn’t eliminate completely.
If your car ever gets close to overheating, as Connor suggests it’s critical that you shut it down, immediately. I would add that you should turn on the heater (open your windows) and turn the fan to high. This will help dissipate the heat away from the engine. Aluminum blocks and heads can warp; which would be a catastrophic failure.
Hey brother, thank you so much for the videos! After watching your UA-cam videos for quite some time I’ve picked up a 2015 Ftype s V8 convertible! However, there’s one thing that’s bothering me and every single time I just engaged the reverse gear there’s a little thump and a delay has that ever happened with you? The left engine mount is to be replaced this coming Thursday. Might that be the issue?
I would appreciate if you could do a V6 problems video . I want V6 S 2017 -2020. Plan on daily driving it. Like that the V6 does pretty decent gas miles as well. I have done a fair amount research on these cars. All in all they do not seem to be that many problems with these. Water pumps have been problems all way back to early XK. I priced lots various parts out on F-Type and most things were fairly decent price wise. Thanks for informative videos.
Another issue I have encountered is the seat belt tenstioners start to become weak resulting in the belt being caught between the door and seat damaging the door leather. There is a service bulletin on the tensioner.
I get that interior rattle that you’re talking about!! Same place with similar conditions and it drives me mad. Also the little door on the ceiling behind the rear view mirror rattles
OK so I've had my F type R for a year. It's thrown an O2 sensor out I won't deny, other than that no problems, you have to bear in mind it's a high performance car and the cost of ownership is not cheap. I personally like the fact it's a relatively simple car, it doesn't have that many electronic doodahs and gadgets, just enjoy the noise.
Ammonia works best for removing the sticky coating on the buttons without removing the white labeling underneath. Damp a rag with it and it wipes right off with mild agitation.
...need to add one thing to my comment below...haven't had a single issue of any sort with my 2015 F-Type R. Bought with 25,000 miles sight unseen from Cali and shipped to Florida. It had a couple "sticky buttons" but alcohol swabs cleared them up, otherwise perfect so far.
Hello Connor, I'm more than considering buying an F type and want to thank you for your intuitive videos. They are helping me decide when to buy one, not if I buy one 😊 I do have question though if I may, I've seen on other videos that have but not specifically talk about some injector rubber flap covers due to rain. I live in Wales and about 100 yards from the sea, so wandered firstly what they are actually called and secondly would you consider buying this car (due to salt / rain ) if you live by the sea. Thank you for any advise you have. Peace 🍺
Hey man I know it’s an old vid but I just snagged an f type s. Question. Are you running spacers and or springs on the setup in the background? Thanks for the awesome videos!
What’s up brother! I appreciate the love as usual, the baby is such a blessing man. She makes me so happy, even if my energy drink consumption has doubled ha
yes the cooling system is unreliable, my f-type broke the heater pipe and the thermostat under 2 years, and maybe the water pump next as u said... they are all because of the plastic glue line break, really dont understand why Jaguar make cars for years and still make these mistakes!
Good on you for pointing this stuff out Connor. On the water pump, 80000 miles is low for a pump to go. My Honda is on 185000km with the same pump. Is this related as to how the car is driven and is this something other high performance cars are prone to? Luckily I don't experience the rattle.
Hey awesome videos, I know you sold your F-Type but as I just bought mine I have the same annoying rattle behind the passenger headrest. You mentioned you solved it by installing felt tape but just wondering exactly where you put it?
Hey thanks for the comment. I basically took off everything in that area. I started in the trunk and removed the parcel shelf. There I added felt tape to every plastic junction. To be honest, I’m not sure which area specifically was causing the rattle so I carpet bombed everything.
An other nice video! Question about the battery charger: Does the charger have any overvoltage protection so that to prevent damaging the electronics of the car?
@@skrrtgarage3922 by reading the charger specifications I couldn't find it. Let me state my query more clear: Suppose you have connected the charger to your car and a lighting strikes your home network, can the charger protect for this sudden overvoltage?
Ohhh I see, I thought you meant the charger over charging the battery... I’m not sure about that, I would assume if a volt of lightning hit your house it would probably blow the breakers.
last month there was a snow storm had my f type outside didnt start it for a couple days i try to get in battery was dead. thought it was the snow storm but actually it was me putting my obd2 device in prior and took it out next thing i know the car for some reason was still giving power to the obd2 port while it was off. had to jump the car never had any battery issues since
This is actually a problem with the F-Type (most likely on my XE S as well, but never tried it). Once you hook up an OBDII device (most of them), they will leave a device in a waiting state and not close it out, so the device stays on and drains the battery. In order to correct it, you need to disconnect the battery for about 20-30 minutes and it all gets cleared. Your dead battery "cleared" it on it's own. I discovered this by mine having issues. I have to reset it on track days when I hookup my OBDII device to send to TrackAdict for track days. The whole car goes insane telling you that everything is broken (it's not), but after I'm done with my track day, I disconnect the battery for 20-30 minutes and then reconnect. It clears it out and it's back to normal. If you want to test it, connect up your OBDII device, you'll start seeing errors, then you'll notice that your Hazard Triangle and door lock LEDs stay on for way too long after shutting down the car. Then after a day, you get into the car and it will instantly tell you to start the car because of a low battery.
@@skrrtgarage3922 If you like, make a note of the reply that I just did to Nick Joseph Cars concerning the dead battery and ODBII device. You could test it all out and do a video about it. It is very consistent and I went through a lot (long dealer visit included) to figure it out (the dealer didn't).
My F Type R 2017 did the same with a Pearl Backup Camera that uses an OBD2 device to trigger the video when put into reverse. I just received a new one to try to see if it is a software issue. I also have it at the shop and asked the dealer to validate the software is up to date. The port should shut off with the car. I also had the same problem with an OBD2 reader. I had to disconnect the battery to get the system to start charging again. I asked the dealer if they did a disconnect each time after using a OBD2 reader and I was told no. Perhaps it is the type of reader that foils the electrical system.
I currently have the F-Pace and k Looking to set it up to F-Type. Question: I heard from others that they have a terrible vibration coming from the big speaker from behind their seats! I also have this issue on my F-Pace coming from the door speakers. Have you noticed this in your car? would like to know how you fixed it if you did. Also you talked about a repair manually, care to share info on where I can get on Thanks, Chuck
Yea I bought a copy of the repair manual on eBay, but it’s also available on the Jaguar forums website here in the USA. I did get some speaker vibration on the front tweeters. I got the dealer to “tune out” the vibration with an upgraded software.
I know it’s been a while since you made this, and had an f-type. But i have a hood that gaps in the front, between hood and front fender. Do you know how to fix that?
Hi Connor, did you have any issues with rattling under the windshield? Especially when it's really cold outside, there are a lot of pops coming from the plastic under the windshield as air gets warmer inside, like the plastic is changing its temperature and expands or whatever? This freaks me out every morning, especially if have friends in car and they laugh about how can an expensive car behave like that
Shoot man, I haven’t experienced anything like that. I wonder if the plastic is rubbing on the trim? Sometimes the slightest movements can cause those sounds
How is the reliability? For example bmws always break down and they always sitting in different garages waiting for the new spare part….maintenance like oil and filters or tires and batteries is fine I just wanted to know about the engine parts and the rest of the car does it brake down a lot? I’m buying a 2017 and I’m planning on daily driving it so wanted to know ur opinion on the reliability how does the car do? …..pls ans if u had time✌️
Once again you have smashed it out of the park , as I park mine over the winter. Where to you attach the battery tender?? I know there is boosting terminals on the front passenger side , is this where you connect the charger ?
do you think its possible to replace head gaskets and send heads to machine shop to get resurfaced on the 2015 f type s? the dealer said its better just to replace the whole engine…..
@@skrrtgarage3922 Much thanks. If my memory serves me, I believe you've since sold your car because of a new baby. I'm vacillating between purchasing a Jaguar F-Type or a XK.
@@skrrtgarage3922 Keep doing what you're doing bro. These vids have been very informative. Im currently have a supercharged C7 and i am considering trading it in for a F Type R
As someone who is currently looking for an F-Type, I very much appreciate these videos.
The f type is awesome, thanks for the comment!

The rubberized textures to the buttons is a very common issue. This has been used time and time again on old cellphones, zoom mics, etc. . . and they always wear. It's nice to know that there's a remedy.
It might help by getting the windows tinted and applying a UV resistant spray so heat doesnt work its way in to the buttons as easily

I had the same rattle and I fixed mine with a small piece of foam shoved into the headliner area in that side and it’s never rattled since.
Yea that rattle is pretty common
I love your car greetings from Cabo
Appreciate it! 🙏🏼
Hello Connor, I'm more than considering buying an F type and want to thank you for your intuitive videos.
They are helping me decide when to buy one, not if I buy one 😊
I do have question though if I may, I've seen on other videos that have but not specifically talk about some injector rubber flap covers due to rain. I live in Wales and about 100 yards from the sea, so wandered firstly what they are actually called and secondly would you consider buying this car (due to salt / rain ) if you live by the sea.
Thank you for any advise you have. Peace 🍺
Hey man I know it’s an old vid but I just snagged an f type s. Question. Are you running spacers and or springs on the setup in the background? Thanks for the awesome videos!
Great information!!!
Thanks!
hey Connor, which year of F-Type are build the best, parts wize, and stuff like that? great content! All 3 videos helped a ton!
They are built well, there isn’t a particular year I would stay away from. Good luck on the search!
These videos are SUPER helpful! Also, where did you buy the service manual?
I bought a eBay link for $10
Top job again Connor well done mate.
How are them sleepless nights going.
What’s up brother! I appreciate the love as usual, the baby is such a blessing man. She makes me so happy, even if my energy drink consumption has doubled ha
yes the cooling system is unreliable, my f-type broke the heater pipe and the thermostat under 2 years, and maybe the water pump next as u said... they are all because of the plastic glue line break, really dont understand why Jaguar make cars for years and still make these mistakes!
Yea.. I’m sure it was mostly for cost cutting
Thx for the Video, wären die you buy the Service manual? Do you use an obd diagnostic interface?
Good on you for pointing this stuff out Connor. On the water pump, 80000 miles is low for a pump to go. My Honda is on 185000km with the same pump. Is this related as to how the car is driven and is this something other high performance cars are prone to? Luckily I don't experience the rattle.
I’m sure the performance of the engine has a little to do with why they are going out a little prematurely!
HEYY! we both have an F-TYPE AND AN E30 LOL pretty funny
thats awesome man! I just sold my E30 but I sure loved that car
Hey awesome videos, I know you sold your F-Type but as I just bought mine I have the same annoying rattle behind the passenger headrest. You mentioned you solved it by installing felt tape but just wondering exactly where you put it?
Hey thanks for the comment. I basically took off everything in that area. I started in the trunk and removed the parcel shelf. There I added felt tape to every plastic junction. To be honest, I’m not sure which area specifically was causing the rattle so I carpet bombed everything.
Great video.
Thanks! 👍🏼
Your a legend mate 👍
I appreciate that homie!
An other nice video! Question about the battery charger: Does the charger have any overvoltage protection so that to prevent damaging the electronics of the car?
Yea that one I showed in the video has that feature.
amzn.to/39issbm
@@skrrtgarage3922 thank you very much! I appreciate!!
@@skrrtgarage3922 by reading the charger specifications I couldn't find it. Let me state my query more clear: Suppose you have connected the charger to your car and a lighting strikes your home network, can the charger protect for this sudden overvoltage?
Ohhh I see, I thought you meant the charger over charging the battery...
I’m not sure about that, I would assume if a volt of lightning hit your house it would probably blow the breakers.
Question when you use the battery tender do you hook it up directly to the battery? Thanks again for another terrific video!
Yea that’s ideal. Most tenders have leads to make it a little discrete
@@skrrtgarage3922 Thank You!
So a custom remap that takes away all bangs and bubbles would make way better fuel consumption and will lower exhaust temperatures
last month there was a snow storm had my f type outside didnt start it for a couple days i try to get in battery was dead. thought it was the snow storm but actually it was me putting my obd2 device in prior and took it out next thing i know the car for some reason was still giving power to the obd2 port while it was off. had to jump the car never had any battery issues since
You must have a strong battery, right on 🙌🏼
This is actually a problem with the F-Type (most likely on my XE S as well, but never tried it). Once you hook up an OBDII device (most of them), they will leave a device in a waiting state and not close it out, so the device stays on and drains the battery. In order to correct it, you need to disconnect the battery for about 20-30 minutes and it all gets cleared. Your dead battery "cleared" it on it's own. I discovered this by mine having issues. I have to reset it on track days when I hookup my OBDII device to send to TrackAdict for track days. The whole car goes insane telling you that everything is broken (it's not), but after I'm done with my track day, I disconnect the battery for 20-30 minutes and then reconnect. It clears it out and it's back to normal. If you want to test it, connect up your OBDII device, you'll start seeing errors, then you'll notice that your Hazard Triangle and door lock LEDs stay on for way too long after shutting down the car. Then after a day, you get into the car and it will instantly tell you to start the car because of a low battery.
@@skrrtgarage3922 If you like, make a note of the reply that I just did to Nick Joseph Cars concerning the dead battery and ODBII device. You could test it all out and do a video about it. It is very consistent and I went through a lot (long dealer visit included) to figure it out (the dealer didn't).
My F Type R 2017 did the same with a Pearl Backup Camera that uses an OBD2 device to trigger the video when put into reverse. I just received a new one to try to see if it is a software issue. I also have it at the shop and asked the dealer to validate the software is up to date. The port should shut off with the car. I also had the same problem with an OBD2 reader. I had to disconnect the battery to get the system to start charging again. I asked the dealer if they did a disconnect each time after using a OBD2 reader and I was told no. Perhaps it is the type of reader that foils the electrical system.
I currently have the F-Pace and k
Looking to set it up to F-Type. Question: I heard from others that they have a terrible vibration coming from the big speaker from behind their seats! I also have this issue on my F-Pace coming from the door speakers. Have you noticed this in your car? would like to know how you fixed it if you did. Also you talked about a repair manually, care to share info on where I can get on
Thanks,
Chuck
Yea I bought a copy of the repair manual on eBay, but it’s also available on the Jaguar forums website here in the USA.
I did get some speaker vibration on the front tweeters. I got the dealer to “tune out” the vibration with an upgraded software.
How in the world does one keep white seats like that clean?!?!?! Brave ;-)
Thank you
Thanks for the comment!
Good Content as always 👍
Appreciate that homie!
Oof I should probably drive mine then, haven't driven it in 3 weeks lol
But the battery is gigantic so it should last a while...
Yup, had that part go on my XF. It's under the supercharger so it's not cheap to replace.
Oh dang, mind me asking how much it was to have someone fix it?
@@skrrtgarage3922 I had the dealer do it. $1400. I'm pretty sure it can be done much cheaper.
I know it’s been a while since you made this, and had an f-type. But i have a hood that gaps in the front, between hood and front fender. Do you know how to fix that?
Hi Connor, did you have any issues with rattling under the windshield? Especially when it's really cold outside, there are a lot of pops coming from the plastic under the windshield as air gets warmer inside, like the plastic is changing its temperature and expands or whatever? This freaks me out every morning, especially if have friends in car and they laugh about how can an expensive car behave like that
Shoot man, I haven’t experienced anything like that. I wonder if the plastic is rubbing on the trim? Sometimes the slightest movements can cause those sounds
Will you be at the next coffee and cars in OKC in March?? I really want an Ftype and would like to learn more about it
Yea! I’ll be there, we can meet up
@@skrrtgarage3922 Awesome!!! Thanks for replying hopefully I'll see you there👍👍
Can you provide a link for the O2 sensor and the Repair manual? Thanks!
How is the reliability? For example bmws always break down and they always sitting in different garages waiting for the new spare part….maintenance like oil and filters or tires and batteries is fine I just wanted to know about the engine parts and the rest of the car does it brake down a lot? I’m buying a 2017 and I’m planning on daily driving it so wanted to know ur opinion on the reliability how does the car do? …..pls ans if u had time✌️
It’s reliable man, I wouldn’t worry about it. Watch my first reliability video to learn more about engine stuff
@@skrrtgarage3922 thanks for the reply bro … did you have any major problems with ur car? I’ll probably buy used with some 15k miles on it
Nope, she was flawless!
Good help. Thanks.
Appreciate that!
@@skrrtgarage3922 Quick reply! I am terrible at resonding to comments!
Once again you have smashed it out of the park , as I park mine over the winter. Where to you attach the battery tender?? I know there is boosting terminals on the front passenger side , is this where you connect the charger ?
You can, but if it’s going to be parked over a long period of time the best place is in the rear trunk where the actual battery is.
@@skrrtgarage3922 Enjoy your videos. The Jag Forums has a diagram to show you exactly how to hook up the battery tender.
do you think its possible to replace head gaskets and send heads to machine shop to get resurfaced on the 2015 f type s? the dealer said its better just to replace the whole engine…..
Yea for sure
Thanx for the info
Thanks for the comment 👍🏼
If anyone is selling a red jag in July, let me know.
There are like 12 on CarFax
What year is your Jag?
Hello from the Netherlands. Great video!
Thanks!
Hey!! Sorry, doesn’t anyone know where to find all the options that were available in 2015?? And their costs. Looking at a few to buy!
You are maybe easing my mind about wanting to buy a Jaguar instead of an Audi or a Mercedes.
my mechanic tells me the overall fit and finish of the XK was a lot better than the F-Type.
I can’t speak from experience because I’ve never owned a XK. But I thought the f type was nice
Well your mechanic is mistaken
@@200mphBrian he's a British car specialist so I am inclined to agree with him.
@@papagen00 well I've been working on the Jaguar f-Type for over 8 now and a Jaguar Master Mechanic for close to 20 so I will believe myself
👍🏻
Where did you buy the repair manual?
I bought it off some dude on eBay haha
Lemon oil.... ill have to do that to my e90
I’ve never tried it but I saw a video that worked 🤷
How about a link to the Bosch site you discussed to find O2 sensors? I didn't see it posted. Did I just miss it?
I posted it in the O2 sensor video I made. Or you can just google the part number and they should pop up
What's the new 0-60 time after tune?
The 0-60 is basically still the same, the added power makes it a little more difficult to launch. I still get 3.6ish
Are those stock or after-market seats in your car?
They are stock, somewhat rare though.
@@skrrtgarage3922 Much thanks. If my memory serves me, I believe you've since sold your car because of a new baby. I'm vacillating between purchasing a Jaguar F-Type or a XK.
Yea, i had to let the f type go. Sure loved that car though
Video starts at 3:30
Man I need the UK to get out of lockdown I have a test drive being delayed until then
Hopefully soon!
i bet this car gets lots of looks
It does man, great looking car!
could have been a 7min clip - or change clip title / Engine Coolant system for dummies
Right on
It’s good for a year then unload it ! Then buy a Lexus Lc 500 like I did and good for 10 years trouble free
the hell is a v4
V4 hehe
Hey check out mina gallery/ performance

Not everyone knows what and how coolant works 🤷
