Hey Everyone, I wanted to check with everyone here about this latest move by Jaguar (ditching all the old models for electric vehicles). I got a 2021 F-Pace with 50k kms in August 2024 for 50K CAD (with 3 year extended warranty) and I didn’t get much post purchase regret as I was definitely enjoying the car. After Jag’s announcement I was curious to see what price would a similar car be going for right now and I was surprised to see that we are now getting a 2021 F-Pace for close to 40k with almost 20k kms. Anyone in the same boat as I am?

I’m a new and proud owner of a F type and was so excited when I found it I didn’t realize it didn’t come with some of the luxuries I’m used to in my daily driver (Audi A6). I still love it and don’t regret the purchase but at a minimum I need a backup camera. Any recommendations? Any shops in Virginia would also be helpful.

After buying my 2016 Jaguar XF S last year I've been enjoying it, but I've been thinking of updating the infotainment as I would like to have Android Auto/Carplay, but these recent few days of winter weather got me thinking of getting a Jaguar Remote Subscription to warm the car up before I get in.

So my question is, If I replace the stock 8'in Infotainment unit with one of the ones found on aliexpress, would I lose the ability to purchase the Jaguar Remote service?

I’m looking at a Jag XE 2017. 132k miles, full service history and has just had the timing chain replaced. Given the infamous issues with the timing chain on these, what’s the life expectancy of the new chain?

If anyone has any advice on how long it’ll last before it needs to be replaced again, I’d be grateful.

I’m a bit worried about the reliability of this car since it’s around 80,000 miles. Would be buying for around 13k. Everything looks good on the maintenance and past history of the car and will be getting inspection. I owned a f type 2017 and never had any serious issues with the car. Are there any issues that come up with these cars should I be aware of or should I just pull the plug and buy

Can someone point me in the direction of a repair manual for a 1997 XJ6. I need to replace the starter on mine and I haven't a clue where to start the process.

Thanks in advance!

As above

Hi all, I've just bought a 2018 jaguar xf and am looking to change the pads front and rear. I hear that the rears might be a bit harder due to an electric item or something. Is there anyway I can check this without having to take the tyre off?

 So I have a 2012 jaguar XJ. These are renowned for the battery going flat if you don’t use them regularly. Well, mine only gets used once or twice a month. I have a trickle charger to keep the battery topped up. However, it seemed to be OK and then, when I went to use it, nothing, the battery was totally flat. This has happened a few times on this battery. So I managed to get the boot opened, using a battery pack, and took the battery out ( had some problems, as one of the two retaining bolts just kept turning round). So the battery has been on the bench while I sorted the bolt out.

It took over two days to fully charge the battery (in an unheated garage with an average temperature of 8°C). I disconnected it from the charger. It then read 12.53V I continued to make readings of the battery. By the next day it read 12.51. It then dropped about 0.02v a day so that after a week it read 12.44V. Three day later it read 12.43 V.

I then charged it up again overnight or so. It then read 12.61 V, 12.59V the next day, dropping about 0.02V a day, so that a week later it read 12.54V. I then recharged the battery overnight again. It then read 12.9V, dropping to read 12.54V 4 days later.

This website suggests that a battery on the bench looses 1% of it charge a day ( https://cararac.com/blog/dsconnected-car-battery-losing-voltage-reasons.html). The trouble is, what is 1% of a charge in volts, given that a battery never gets down to 0V?

The battery is probably about 4 years old. Is my battery OK to use, please?

can’t seem to work it out, one jaguar forum post says it might be Satin American Walnut. Seems quite rare so would be interested to see if anyone has seen it before?

Fellow Jag owners/enthusiasts, I have a problem. Yesterday, my X400 wouldn't start for my partner. An error message 'security failure' comes up on the dash which I suspect has something to do with its computer reconising the key. The fob seems unaffected, opens everything, and the key is correctly coded to the car, as is the spare fob. The car simply won't start with that error message on the dash. Partner has disconnected battery overnight, re-connectedit, and no difference. She no go.

A friend who worked for Jag/LandRover suggested to close all doors/boot/bonnet, Lock it completely by remote. Wait 2 minutes (120 seconds minimum), then Remote open and insert key. Try again.

This worked this morning, but it's now doing the same thing, same error message, and the 'trick' to open and start it hasn't worked.

We are in a rural area an hour's drive from any major town, so partner has Googled, searched the Jag forums to no avail. Of course, it's just before everyone shuts down for Xmas too, and we are into the hottest part of the year, and having no wheels in a country town is disastrous. I live over an hour away.

Can anyone please share some insights as to the source of the problem as we are fairly desperate. The car has worked flawlessly for a year, then this Christmas 'gift' has my partner stumped. My Jag expert is now unreachable until after Xmas.

Thank you if you have any experience with this error message and the cause. We are hoping it's a quick fix, or we'll have to consider selling her for parts. It's not financially viable to spend money on a car I paid $2K for in 2023.

Hi all, in the next couple months I'm looking to buy my first jaguar and F Pace thinking of around a 2017/2018 one. Any opinion on what to expect of owning one also what year yous recommend of getting?

Hey,

I’d like to buy my first jaguar xf (from 2017). I would like to have this car for a long time and for long trips. So I’d like a diesel in the xf. I was thinking about the 3.0d which is reliable (as I heard) but in case this one is too expensive in my area, wich one is reliable too and (maybe) less expensive ?

Hi all, I have recently been bitten by the sexy cat called the F-type R. To those who own them how reliable are they, any common problems to look out for? What are the best and worst years for the car. Also, with jag now basically committing suicide what do you think of the issues of owning one with what will surely be the demise of the company?
