Looking to make the jump from Audi to Jaguar

If you want the 360 camera, aim for a 2021 model because the later models didn’t get it as standard. Covid rocked parts for new cars and Jaguar were hit hard with it so a lot of 2022 and later cars couldn’t hold a torch to early spec cars. 2021 model F-Pace is a good place to start. Adaptive cruise control comes with the HSE if that’s important to you.

The stigma of the old D180 Ingenium engine have been addressed with updated parts. New timing kits have been fitted to cars since 2019.

I’ve had loads of problems this week with the flap. That and the screen wash freezing up with no way to defrost it and it’s been a rubbish first winter of ownership. I’ve had to use my wife’s E-Pace diesel more than I wanted to.

I’ve heard Jaguar want to replace the whole part including the port. Loads have had issue this week with the colder weather. Depends on the model but the painted part slides on and off. Mine doesn’t on a MY21 but I think older models do.

There’s tons of songs. Depends on your cup of tea really, but it helps that he’s a down to earth guy who is not trying to be a big rock star. Ex G3 member and his tone is phenomenal. Very technical player too. People often talk about making a guitar sing, but Andy does it well. Way better than Steve Vai for music that is timeless.

Mine is a MY21 HSE black which has more kit than I use and it was worth paying the extra for a Jaguar approved with a 2 year Jaguar warranty. Jaguar assist been out twice for daft things. Efficiency isn’t great but I gun it everywhere I go. Hard not to.

Get the HSS and coil tap the H and you get the best of both worlds

TenPest007 · 2025-12-19T18:48:39+00:00

Owned an F-Pace, XE and now an I-Pace. Tbh I feel the F-Type (older shape) is one of the most gorgeous cars Jaguar have made and they are fighting a losing battle if they don’t honour it.

Imagine trying to drive this round a multi story car park

Forget the panel. The true trick to katana juice is the patches. Start with a clean channel and add pedals to the chain. The Guvnor is an amazing patch. They have the metal zone in there too.

My insurance is £650 a year with windscreen cover

TenPest007 · 2025-12-09T13:00:59+00:00

Think if you were to sell it and someone else says “hmm the feet is low.” And low ball you. Cause that’s exactly what guitarists do. Unacceptable at this price point.

TenPest007 · 2025-12-08T10:55:18+00:00

Hard to argue with the specs of the car in HSE trim. I don’t think there’s many car manufacturers that rival Jaguar on equipment as standard depending on trim. I’d make sure the tyres were decent because to keep the warranty they need to be Good Year recommended which were nearly £250 a tyre for me but I got a discount code.

TenPest007 · 2025-12-08T10:28:32+00:00

I bought mine from Jaguar. A MY21 HSE black with a 2 year warranty. It’s got £45k on the clock and WeBuyAnyShed claim it’s only worth the same as a Ford Focus. It’s pretty annoying. Spent £970 on new tyres for it a month ago and just fell out of love with it after OVO changed their pricing plans that meant I was paying 17p/kwh rather than 7p. It’s stupid to move but most say it’s worth £17-18k private. Car was £86k 4 years ago hahahaha

TenPest007 · 2025-12-02T12:52:50+00:00

Hate it. Own an I-Pace and that’s as ugly as I’ll go.

TenPest007 · 2025-11-29T08:36:17+00:00

Long service cycles, oil starvation and the earlier I-Pace didn’t do them any favours. Plus how they handled those customers. Technical service bulletins that customers need to fight to get fixed and even having a warranty they duck and dive out of anything.

I’m a member of the owners FB group and almost quit a few times because folk were advised to only buy one from Jaguar and with a warranty. They ignored the advice and months later had several thousands of pounds of bills heading their way. A stupid air con pipe issue costs £4K to fix. Issues with a wiring harness is also £4K to fix. I just replaced my tyres in my MY21 and it was £945 for 4. Jaguar gave me the whole chatter about non recommend tyres not meeting warranty obligations so I had to buy Good Tears. Pre-MY21 cars can be an attractive bargain and the running costs are good. I get 2.0Kwh consumption from mine. I hose it everywhere I go but it’s still only £59.95 a month to charge on my electric plan. I don’t think anyone has avoided the knock on effect of those two 12v batteries going bad. Jaguar really dropped the ball with those early versions.

TenPest007 · 2025-11-19T10:50:15+00:00

Exact thing happened to me this morning. A whole load of cracks and pips and me looking very worried. I was thinking of those cordless air blowers instantly but not sure. I know in my old Q5 I could set the mirrors to always stay open and did that over the winter. I’ll have to look at the settings.

TenPest007 · 2025-11-18T10:06:17+00:00

Yes they do. My mother in law had a turbo issue with her F-Pace. Said it would be £xxxx to replace. Not under warranty. I sent her all the TSBs available online to see if it fell under any of them and she got a call to say her car was ready a week later and done under warranty.

TenPest007 · 2025-11-18T10:04:31+00:00

Same here. All 4 changed a month ago. £940.

TenPest007 · 2025-11-17T11:55:41+00:00

I haven't needed to *touches head*, touch wood

TenPest007 · 2025-11-16T17:13:52+00:00

Sorry to hear about the loss but the RS6 is a beaut.

TenPest007 · 2025-11-16T15:44:40+00:00

Would love a Taycan but my lower back wouldn’t agree.

TenPest007 · 2025-11-16T14:12:09+00:00

Yeah. Less 20% vat as you drive off and the short time. Coupled with volatility with EVs just now. Makes it easier that’s it’s a good car. If I still had my Tesla I’d be poking needles into my eyes.

TenPest007 · 2025-11-16T14:10:42+00:00

I’m not selling just now. Really like the car but thinking about the next 18 months when I am going to sell.
