Hi....welcome to the Club Fine looking F-Type ..... enjoy now the nice weather is finally get here 🙂 Good to have you onboard!

I would definitely advise using a Faraday pouch to store your keys in (both keys so you'll need two pouches) Also a physical deterrent such as a Krooklock is ideal to deter would be thieves as it is something else for them to get past

What are you hoping to achieve by changing the carburettors, is it performance gains or is it for reliability? I always found that the HIF setup always delivered both performance and relaibility but had to be set up correctly in the first place (e.g. vacuum, linkages, etc)

Nice!!!!

Hi Guillaume....welcome to the Club The 2.7TD loves to have its legs stretched so the French autoroutes are ideal for giving it a good run. Enjoy it and good to have you onboard

Which model Jaguar and engine are the carbs to fit? Nothing showing in your profile You could contact Burlen fuel services in Salisbury as they are the SU carb dealer in the UK and they will be able to offer assistance

Topic moved to XK8 section, hopefully owners of this model can assist with your enquiry

Hi Bazzer Dorset Sports Car in West Moors are Jaguar specialists otherwise can recommend Brook Road Garage in Wimborne as a reliable independent garage that can resolve your issue

That does seem very premature as this part should not wear that quickly unless it is of poor quality. I would address this with your dealer especially as it a steering component. Also, bear in mind that if one side has gone the other side will go shortly as it is doing the same work

You can post it here and add some photos if possible https://www.jaguarownersclub.com/forums/forum/25-jaguar-parts-and-accessories-for-sale/

Sounds like a DPF issue or even turbo variable vanes sticking due to restricted driving and the opportunity to rev it hard to clear out Nothing a good clear out of the engine wouldn't cure, may need to run some additives through the engine as well

Hi Andy....welcome to the Club Perfect car now the weather has turned warmer....enjoy! Can only recommend fitting some sort of visor over the display which can be fitted to SatNavs, etc Good to have you onboard and feel free to post up some photos of the XK

HI Swagger ....welcome to the Club Feel free to ask any questions and if you would like to respond to any posts, feel free to dive in Good to have you onboard

Hi Joe You and your mechanic are correct that if you listen to the engine and ensure that correct maintenance is always carried out, ahead of schedule then there is no reason to believe the car will not go on for years. However, being equipped with a diesel of a large capacity and turbocharged, they do need running at high revs to keep them clean and free moving. If you have no motorways in Malta then this could be an issue unless you can keep the revs high by manually selecting lower gears which would ensure the engine ran clean. Problems which can be associated with insufficient engine revs are turbocharger variable vanes sticking in place due to carbon deposits, DPF blocking up and not able to regenerate, EGR valves sticking, carbon build up in intake system and increased engine wear and tear (sticking piston rings in worst case scenario, leading to lowered compression and fuel washdown, etc). You seem to have plenty of technical knowledge Joe, which allows you to make personal choices and decisions and this in itself will give you an awareness of things not going in the right direction.....maybe the DPF delete is the way forward as the rules are different in Malta. Will certainly get in touch next time I am over your way, haven't been there for quite some time though. Regards, Trevor

Hi Matt.....welcome to the Club That's quite a jump from an Impreza to a Jaguar.....completely different beast in so many ways Good to have you onboard!

Hi Andrew.....welcome to the Club Hope you're enjoying the F-Pace and hopefully you will find most of the information you want on here. Good to have you onboard!

Hi......welcome to the Club Plenty of information on X-Types in here for you to find out most things Good to have you onboard!

Hi....welcome to the Club Sounds like you have a good plan in place....let us know how you get with acquiring one

Maybe eBay is the best place to gauge a value by starting with one at a low price and see how it bids up so you know rough price for when you sell the others

Hi Jax....welcome to the Club It is either a case of the reading the handbook/manual from cover to cover or just focusing on the smaller picture of what you need to know at the time and learning as you go along....it can get quite overwhelming trying to suss out all the gadgets 🙂 Good to have you onboard!

Hi Vince.....welcome to the Club Welcome also to the wonderful world of Jaguar! Good to have you onboard!
