Reliability was fine on my V6S ..what I didn’t like was the build quality which was poor things like the carpet not fitting properly (gaps around the centre tunnel where the carpet was too short) and various squeaks and rattles..but what really pi**ed me off was the low level of service and knowledge by the local (Nottingham) Jaguar dealership ..absolutely appalling..didn’t know their own products and had no idea what they were doing..had full blown arguments with the service guys and even got Jaguar U.K. involved were helpful but didn’t change the attitude of the dealership.

I've only had my 2016 V6S (metallic gray Coupe with 17000m on the clock) for a few months. I use it as a weekend car and knowing the weak points, I will shortly be replacing all the plastic coolant pipes with aluminum, as well as installing an oil catch can. I never drive it in the rain to avoid water finding its way to the injectors and when I wash it, I block the bonnet vents. So far no problems.

About four months ago I bought a mint 2016 V8 AWD F Type with just under 10k miles. The satnav antennae had to be replaced at a cot of 300 pounds, and just of late the central vent has started to play up, not knowing if it should be up or down. My battery is a bit low as I rarely use it, I'm wondering if that's caused the issue. It's my first Jag having been used to AMGs and M series cars. My thoughts to date on the car is that it is the most gorgeous piece of artwork on four wheels, the interior quality especially the leather is as good as if not better than my previous cars. I specifically like the large simple tonka toy like temperature dials. So far I'm thrilled with it.

Just to make sure… these replacement headlights don’t need programmed to the car?

We see these in our workshop pretty much every day for maintenance/repair/modifications... They keep us busy... Even so, I rate them as a RELIABLE car compared to other modern vehicles available. Owners seem to keep these cars for a long time as they satisfy certain cravings nicely 😋 Nice to see you YouTubing again MrGB, here's to 2025

97 k miles, 2015 v6 coupe, driven hard every day and a canyon carver on the weekend. Only issue was the small leak on the coolant y pipe which I had redone in aluminum. No issues outside of that. Mine has never left me stranded and I drive ALOT!!! Underrated cars when cared for.

I have a 5 litre R AWD 550 hp, last year we toured Spain,France,Italy,Switzerland on two different 21 day journeys and the same the year before no issues,love the car and already planning our tour for this year but a longer journey,however I have the same headlight problem appeared and my attitude is the same as yours, Isabel had a number of jaguars and never had issues with any of them all well maintained

By now I've put 170k kms on my V6 over almost 8 years. Have I seen some issues? Yes, a few. Except for one leaking injector that did kill a catalysator, too, it's basically wear and tear. There are plenty of other YT channels here that make me believe that compared to some other oh so reliable brands (Mercedes comes to mind) that is an outstanding performance. I think these beasts are pretty darn reliable. And if you think you can drive a performance car on the bill for a Dacia then you started with the wrong assumption anyway.

Good to see you back and great content again , looking forward to seeing the next video 👍

Do you still have your Jaguar warranty?

I have a 2016 V6 with 110k km's and besides the regular maintenance it had no issues. And a lot of fun 😅

Worst car we ever owned. Problems after problems. Car had a FMDSH with low miles so it can’t be blamed on bad maintenance. Kept it 14 months and after 7k of costs purely for things going wrong enough was enough. Wouldn’t touch another Jaguar with a barge pole especially now they have destroyed their image with their ridiculous new marketing campaign. No thanks JLR

Have had mine for 4 years now. 2015 V6S with 110k miles on it now. A HUGE list of issues... I'll blame it on high mileage and unknown previous owner's maintenance. All of these things had to be replaced: - Alternator + battery - LSD Differential replaced - Cracked Y pipes - Head Gaskets (biggest expense..) - Coolant tank and random hoses - Audio Amplifier - Cracked Aux Radiator - Leather headliner and a couple other fixes here and there. No warranty, but majority of the parts were found used and installed by a friend mechanic. All for the love of this car.. but it does hurt

2019 R here. No issues. Whatsoever.

I have a 2016 S that's needed a new washer bottle, the old one just split, a front left headlight because the last one cracked for no reason (as they do on F-Types), and it might need a new gas tank, the petrol gauge is stuck. I'm hoping the float is just stuck and at some point it unsticks itself. On a nine year old car I can't really complain given the amount of joy the thing gives me to drive and even just to look at. The biggest problem with these things is the extortionate prices Jaguar demand for new parts. But if you go with used parts, they're affordable. Put it this way, whatever the supposed reliability issues with these cars, now I have one, I will never not own one because they are just so awesome!

Just the positive? I thought you had to take the negative off?

I have had 2 and had zero go wrong with either, fabulous things

My first F-Type (2013 V6S) was disastrous. Sold it after 3 years as was sick of the constant problems and bills. Spent more on that car than any of my previous 20+ car added together. List of problems as long as my arm. Jaguar did supersede and upgrade many of the parts between 2013 and 2017. With all that said, I couldn't stay away and now in a 2021 P450 which has been fantastic, but it is much newer and lower mileage. Time will tell, but so far so good! Warranty is an absolute must on these. Would never run a JLR product as a daily, stick to German. Totally different prospect doing 12k miles per year vs 3k.

On the Cats ,Its a great opportunity to get 200 or 300 cell cats. Way cheaper that OEM parts from a stealership .

I'm sad jaguar won't make as good of a car again

My 2016 S convertible. Not one issue so far. 18,000 miles.

This is on my list for (hopefully) not too far in the future. I have an F-Pace right now that I need to reluctantly get rid of because of my growing family. Tough to fit three kids in the F-pace but my word do I love it.

It’s such a shame that Jaguar allowed the F type to get a reputation for unreliability. Especially when it came down to just a few fixable issues. 1/ a simple redesign of the engine cover would have solved the water ingress on RWD cars that corroded in the injectors. Most owners just modify the cover as a simple fix. 2/ Reverting to aluminium coolant pipes would have solved the problem of the Y pipe. The plastic pipes just saved them a few quid per car, yet further damaged the car’s reputation. If these items had been dealt with the F type could have been one of the most robust sports cars on sale.

Glad to see you back, got my F-Type R a few weeks ago! Watched all your videos first of course! Do you happen to still have the headlights you took off previously? My 67 Plate car has the same issue, and being an engineer I'm wondering if I could potentially fix them, would be good to try on one that's no good to be used anyway.

Mines been good so far Had a light come up was the cat on one side had failed Warranty replaced it Valves stuck I went to modstock they fitted new ones cheap as chips I Love my F TYPE You just cant beat that V8 Growl

You were one of the reasons I bought an F-Type. Almost two years later and I've done close to 10,000 miles in it. So far the only issues have been, as mentioned, the exhaust valve getting stuck, the SOS system battery dying, and the DRL light dimming. All of these were handled under the generous F-Type 5 year warranty, so it's been $0 out of pocket for me. Outside of that, it's been an absolute dream of a car. Nothing else quite like it, and with how rare they are, people treat them with the same excitement as many higher end exotics.

From Canada here. I spent a couple of hours yesterday installing apple car play upgrade from GT Car Kits in my 2015 S. Canadian money - less than $1000. It works perfectly. Mine has the Bosch head unit so required running their wiring harness from the screen back through to the head unit (which is located behind/between the seats. Their installation instruction video is excellent.

Love the way you've got your ctec in the wall . Would love you to show how you did this . Would like to copy it .

2024 F-Type owner saying hello from USA!

HNY! Be interesting to hear your thoughts on the disastrous Jaguar rebrand and if it has effected the value and interest in keeping your car

Best not to mess with your engine. If you have plenty money to wast then thats fine.

Mine got notchy a few times during operation so I immediately did this repair before it got worse, and lubed everything. Its all plastic on plastic, so a little lube should fix it for life. Thank you for your guide!

I purchased a 2019 F-Pace last year. Slowly over time, the key fob has stopped working to unlock and lock the car. I can only do this on the door handle now. I’ve tried new battery (several times), but no change. I’m afraid at some point, I won’t be able to unlock/lock the doors anymore, or not be able to start car, like the fob is slowly “dying”. Any thoughts, without having to spend $1000 on new fob…

Nice to see you back Grant, hopefully catch up with you this year at some of the Jag Shows.

Good to see you back. Congratulations on the improvements to the house. That’s a major achievement on the business development, experience tells me that you can put big hours in when you’re young, but don’t risk burn out.

As I recently purchased a used 2016 Jaguar Ftype, I am enjoying your videos and insights, very helpful, cheers!!

Welcome back!!! Happy New Year! I haven't sold mine either!

Missed ya so much I got a whole F Type while I was waiting 😳

Happy new year, Good to see you back, looking forward to more video

Welcome back mate! Thanks for the shoutout ✌🏻

Cool brilliant to see you back bro, you just going through life bro , so well done to you and your other half, all the best for 2025 , And looking forward to following you more ?. More on your motor side , but will see bro ? .

Welcome back Mr GB

Main dealer price seems reasonable considering the supercharger removal also included?

Plastic next to hot metal 🤔

Great video I have the 2016 R and absolutely love it. Is this shot near/in Wonersh, Surrey?

Why would a manufacturer allow drivers to open the engine valves?

Hi, F-Pace manual states remove battery before recharge. I noticed you didn't do this. Do you know if there an issue with removing the battery and car loosing total battery power?

Both hands on the wheel. Scary driving.

Have 2018 model 25T petrol purchased August 2017. Just went over 100,000 miles in USA. Emergency key cover on the driver's door handle fell off in a spray car wash after an ice strorm. Coolant got low once, but problem went away. Those are the only problems I've had. I only do the recommended service with oil change once a year. Replaced both batteries at 4 years. This 2024 year I spent thousands of dollars to replace the timing chains because I was scared that they would eventually break, even though there was nothing wrong with them. I'm about due for an alignment and new brake pads after 100,000 miles. Might look into replacing some of the rubber and plastic parts as preventive measures. Should also add more ceramic coating, as that is now 6 years old. Why keep investing in this car? Because it's so nice to drive, is the right size and weight (light) for my needs, and it's a beautiful British Racing Green 💚 color. Too bad that color is no longer offered by Jaguar.

Great mod. Can you please name the shop you sent the wheel off to? Thanks and keep up the good work.
