2018 FPace failed steering rack ! Common problem to do with the casing cracking and water entering £200 diagnosis charge and £4000 charge after waiting months for the new part ! No help from JLR. Very dangerous should be on a safety recall
Interesting bit about not shutting down after a service. I was told mine was ready to pick up, but when I went to get it they said it wasn't shutting down properly and they needed to do an update. They gave me a loan car for a day while they sorted it. Five years old now, f Pace SVR. Love it!
I own a 2017 F Pace, 2.0D AWD with 100'000 km and the car had absolutely NO ISSUES 'till now. Not even small glitches or malfunctions. However I'm doing regular maintenance and every 3 months I reset all the "ghost faults" that accumulate over time with my diagnostic tool. The best car I ever had.
yea mine doesnt have cooled seats. i mean its a fucking jag every single trim should have those 2 things by default. mines a sport too v6 380hp for fuck sake
2019 f-pace r-sport owner, 160k kms on the dash, had 2 issues, telematic unit is bust so the simcard don't work, and recently the car amplifier stopped working, i saw the part at ebay for $200 CAD and my mechanic charges $90 to replace it, so it isn't bad, everything else is good.
No car is a 100 per cent reliable , I’ve had BMWs. Mercdes and a Porsche cayman s. All were good , but all had problems. Some more than Others ..I am looking at a f jag. ( sports car ).. I’ve read so many bad things about them , but they look superb sound great ..the v 6. Is the one I am looking at ..every car you buy is a risk ..
I love my F-Pace (MY2018 25T Petrol) and it was the first second-hand car purchase since coming out of my company car scheme. Likewise, it has not left me stranded anywhere although it has suffered from a failed deployable towbar (I never use it) that was replaced under warranty and a stretched timing chain resulting in a new chain being fitted under warranty. Our petrol XE has also been relatively trouble free. I think the message about looking after your car especially regular oil changes is key - ours do no more than 5-6K miles per year but still get regular oil changes etc. Look forward to the changing brake discs/pads video - I can recommend Brembo discs and TRW pads.
Great video. Ive previously owned a 2.0 diesel f-pace, I had stop start issues in that it would fail to engage. I loved the car but ended up trading it in for an x5 hybrid. Two years later I’m back in another f-pace and loving it, this time a 3.0 S petrol, sounds incredible and usually returns 30 mpg. Ticks all my boxes for a fun family bus. You should do a comparison video between the two models, same car but totally different down to the engine.
Awesome review. Certainly put my mind to rest as I’m about to collect my 2020 p250 e pace. You hear all the scare stories about reliability, and it being a money pit, I was beginning to believe it’s true. Hopefully I’m making the right choice. Thanks for sharing.
USB / Apple car play dropping out. If it was when the phone battery was lower it’s due to the usb power not being strong enough to charge and do CarPlay at the same time. You can get a dual usb power cable which uses both sockets to feed one usb and that solved it for me 😎
The 3.0 suffers from a leaking second radiator and the throttle body has issues. Other than that, I've done around 57k in my 2019 3.0s, I had the XF Sportbrake previous to this and the F-Pace is so much better.
I've had my 2016 2.0D F-Pace since 2017 and now it has around 50,000km. No big issues with it, and never left me stranded. Here are the small stuff though: The driver side window won't go up, if it was lowered using the auto-down first. Shut the car of, lock it and restart to fix. The other one, that's actually to worry about, is the gear selector knob not popping up with the engine started. That was going on intermittently for some time before it kind of went away on it's own, for now. And that's about it.
I am having a very bad experience. Mine is still under warranty. At this point my transfer case is leaking and I was told that this is because of used a different brand tyre which has different threading when one of my tyre got flat and warranty won’t cover it for same reason. Jaguar customer service told me that they only manufacture car and they don’t sell it. So it is dealer s decision to provide warranty or not as they are the sellers of the car.
Have a 2018 F-Pace purchased new. At 48k miles a wheel bearing and power steering broke and needed replacing. Will be selling once its fixed. Would not buy another.
Why are you talking about about fuel, consumables, tyres and brakes in a video about reliability? Even the dead battery sounds like human error by your servicing garage.
Had one of these on a lease for 3 years and had no issues save for the emergency braking sensor that fell off behind the front grille. Wishing I bought it at the end of the lease because I'm looking for another one now to replace my XE. One of the best looking SUVs on the market and in my experience not unreliable at all.
I’ve got a 21 reg from new and the warranty claims are pages long and it’s spent 12 months in the retailer garage on numerous occasions. Jaguar just kicked the can up the road and Rockar as a retailer told me to go elsewhere to get it fixed. Group one Southend sorted it and they get full marks for the services provided but after all this time the car is disappointing.
Hi. Long shot I know. I dont suppose you know the best forum or place to get a black bar that goes behind the number plate on a 65 plate f type do you?
Mine went in a week after buying a used one from JLR due to alignment issues. Wife got it home and the day after it stalled several times on the way to work. It went back to JLR and they couldnt find an issue and did nothing. Its been fine ever since - 4 years later.😂
@@ToOpen6seven2L sport 2016. They definitely caused the issue. I think they detached the battery and the ECU went into some sort of mode where it was learning what sensors were there. It was fine after a few more days and has been fine since. 👍🏼
It’s a sexy car, but only 4k miles and a long list of problems, it’s getting towed to dealerships shop tomorrow, because I can’t drive it. Too much money and I’ve been stranded 2x. Just ordered a different car.
You’ve done a great job maintaining this car 👏 Also are those body side mouldings worth getting? Because they look really nice and I’m thinking of buying them for my fpace. Thanks!
Did you mention the model? Considering a 2018 35t w/ 31.000 miles. Clean car fax. Any thoughts? Doesn’t have the Black rims and accents but otherwise seems pretty solid condition.
Coincidentally been following you as I have an BDE F-Type & now picking up a D240 F-Pace next week from Group 1 in Watford. So timing of this vid is perfect - Good to hear that it’s been a good buy for you 👍
I personally find the F Pace very practical, but an estate / saloon is probably a better driving experience. So depends on your needs / priorities. I would suggest getting one on loan from the garage to try out over the weekend.
Treat your car with respect and it will not let you down .

They’re great until the shitty plastic coolant pipes start leaking…and they will.

Did you not like the X5? And what year was it?
Watching from Ireland
My F pace has been very good second hand after 10 months of ownership-interesting what you said about the usb - I thought it was my leads, maybe not?
Watching from Ireland
Beautiful car. Lucky man. My dream car hopefully not too far away. Good video. Looking forward to watching more from you
Thank you for the support. It's appreciated!
Door not opening is a common fault on all jlr cars, cheap unit that fails, otherwise I think it's a great car, a good jaaaaaaaaaggggg

Sny modern car should be able to hit 200k miles
If cars in Europe aren't, then they are poorly built.
In the US 100k car is mid life
Had a 2020 for some time now. No difference in reliability compared to my previous previous cars (Mercedes).

Thank you! Which side mouldings are those? Everything was factory on this car :)
Superb and informative video
What color is the car? Eager gray???
Good honest review 👍

This is a 5.0 V8 R (AWD). The one you have found sounds to be a good example!
@@MrGB_UK this is not a 5.0L. What do you mean?

How has it been running since you got it ?
Without wanting to jinx it, it’s been running perfectly so far. Have covered 6k miles. Only minor gripe is the ride quality isn’t great.
@@timhb thanks for replying. I don’t know if I should go get an SUV like an F Type or stick with what I know (Mercedes E-classes and CLS’s)
