- 5 Year Jaguar F Type Ownership Experiences
I share problems, ups, downs and rewards in owning a Jaguar F Type that I have experienced in this 5 Year Old British Supercar.
Rermembert hit that SUBSCRIBE button, but only if you like cool cars because really life's too short to drive boring cars.

Mark. Regarding the rear parcel shelf issue, I believe there was a recall for this where a modified mounting pin bushes were supplied. The part number of the bushes is T2R35506. They are supplied in packs of 1, so 2 off would be required. There is a video from a UK youtuber about this here: th-cam.com/video/jOrFkNpwC1M/w-d-xo.html
Also, regarding the water ingress issue you have, very often the issue comes about because the seal is continually in a compressed state and very often an application of some silicone grease will bring some suppleness back to the seal and ensure that the sealing is improved. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much David, those are great tips and I will follow that up. I really appreciate that. As this is very helpful to many and not just me I will PIN the comment. Have a great week.
Mark, took a trip to Nashville TN and visited Global Motorsports Center. They specialize in exotic and high performance cars. Spoke with a lead mechanic who had 17 years experience at a Jaguar dealership. He said the F Type is a solid and very reliable vehicle and that during his years as a mechanic saw very few problems with F Types. He did stress the importance of proper maintenance.
Keep ‘em coming!
They are solid. No Honda Civic but decent and well worth the price of admission
Again another Vlog that makes sense from a fellow R owner. I don't have the sim card in my glovebox. I lost the GPS on my car a couple of months ago. After research I removed the strip panel that holds the shark fin aerial. I found moisture inside and one retaining clip missing from one of the three cable connectors. It was in situ. I cleaned everything up and replaced the weather seal that runs along the panel that sits above the LED strip brake light. Once back in I still had no GPS, there was still a red line striking diagonally through the icon on nav screen. I thought oh well must be something else. But then after driving for a bit the GPS reset itself & GPS became active!! Should do a video really about it & a whole lot more. Watching your videos always make me think i should contribute to the joys of owning an F-Type R and some of the real world gripes too, to add to the community. Thanks again Mark.
Haha indeed. Gripes there are and that’s the reality that nothing is perfect. Even a supermodel is not perfect possibly one eye smaller than the other or a scar on the chin. That really is part of what makes things interesting. Old Ferraris had issues sometimes with electrical gremlins that pop up and randomly disappear with no real explanation. Lol, taking the good with the bad. Cheers
Just bought the 400 sport in silver 5k miles. Love this car so much
Sweet! Congrats you will really enjoy it. The silver looks cool on these cars and there are not many in that color. Enjoy!
Hey, how's the car sir, can you please share few words concerning the car??? I'm planning to buy one, m just so confused.

I’ve only seen one in person once and I thought it was breathtaking (and I live in an area where I see Mercedes , BMWs, Corvettes, et al, on a daily basis). I’m drooling and now searching for an F type S. I came close to pulling the trigger on a Gran Turismo, but the F Type has really captured my enthusiasm.
Great point and that’s sort of what I felt when I first saw one. Absolutely gorgeous cars
Just seeing this video so a year late. I have a 2017 base model. Agree with your comment it has been bullet proof. Only drive it in the no snow time of year but right up until it snows and as soon as the roads are reasonably free of the sand (North East of US)… No issues, no codes, perfect. Your comment on the app subscription I would add the cost was reasonable I thought $60-80/Yr. I have other cars that try to get you for more. For those that like the styling and performance. Recommend the car. Thanks for the review.
These cars are amazing and quite honestly better than many people claim. I speak from experience
Probably best review on this car hands down
Thank you
I just bought the 2019 F-Pace S 3.0L V6 for the wife and now I am looking at the F-Type. What an absolute beauty.
The v6s tend to have more problems I believe check it out
My only gripe is i WISH they didnt hide that glorious engine under a ton of plastic. Brands used to show off their engines as the selling point and took pride in showing it off.
Great point, a ZR1 style hood and exposed supercharger would be very cool.
Easy fix : rip it off. It
takes 2 seconds
All right if I had not bought mine, (I can't pick it up before next Monday) I would do now! Thank you for ;etting me know I bought the right car!
I have a 2018 XF 25T 2.0T Gas and love it.
Those are great cars. Love it
Definitely one of the best reviews for the f type r . You and savage geese I believe are two of the best reviews . Glad your experience has been nothing but good with the f type r. Did you get the car PPI before purchased ?
Thank you very much for the support. I actually did not have a PPI done as it still had warranty, I got the CPO add on and I had the records from the previous owner as it was being sold at the same dealer for its whole life, I elected not to. Generally a PPI is the best and safest way to go though.
Motivated me to get the 2024 R75 . Farewell to a Great car!
Thanks for the review!
but your information on Tesla cost to run is wrong. Only rotate tires and change the cabin filter every 2 years.
My SVR which I bought as my forever car was….well a nightmare. Engine made a horrid squealing sound over 110mph - every time. dealer said they cannot reproduce, JLR told me to take it another dealer. That dealer could not resolve, then told me I was dead wrong, it had a fixed wing - it didn’t. Had electrical gremlins and the SIM issue in video. Beautiful car, an everyday supercar, but quality and dealer support was poor. In the 18 months I owned it, it was at the dealers for 4.5 months (and I did not drive it Dec-Mar). Maybe I got a bad engine, but the other gremlins (like my Range Rover - yes I’m a glutton for punishment) has me avoiding the brand. I’m also particularly concerned about the longevity of Jaguar, especially given them moved all electric vehicles, parts availability is going to be a massive headache. In my opinion, it already is with Range Rover, I don’t see Jag being any better.
Related to the tailgate shelf, you can get grommets and put them on the inside to prevent the shelf for moving off 15:13 the pin. Check the forms for the right size. I couldn’t find the right size and had buy a whole box of a variety pack so I don’t know the exact size for the grommet that actually fit.
Thanks a lot Robert, I will take another look at this and see if I can fix this
One to look out for is the daytime running lights. The LEDs have a habit of failing. Jag bought a bad batch from Valeo.
If they go, it makes the indicator seem dimmer. That can be an instant inspection fail.
Only way to fix it is a replacement headlight unit.
Current cost is over $3,500, each, not including tax, labor or coding costs.
In other words, if you’re thinking of buying an f type. Park it in front of a big window on the lot and check the reflection of the lights really well before you pay.
Great tip thanks. Money saver for sure
Whay a great review! Thank u!
You are very welcome
Great video Mark. Just a suggestion, I put ppf on my windshield try to keep it from chipping. I know that windshield is expensive to replace. Just need to keep it waxed. I spray wax it once a month it's all good. Can't even tell there's film on the windshield at all. Take care
Thanks a lot Dean, that’s a great point and I was thinking about putting “clearplex” on as it’s a great film but was not sure if that messes with sensors or not.
Clearplex is what I used. It was $450 US. We'll worth it.
Any issues with rain sensing or otherwise?
@Mark Holubetz No issues at all. I was using the auto brights feature for a while with no trouble. Can't even tell there is film on the windshield or maybe I'm just used to it. Anyway I definitely recommend it. It beats the alternative of a costly windshield.
Wind sound though... ouch !!!
Ive been looking at trading my truck in for an F type. Want to get a used one but not a whole lot of them around my area and not that interested in the 4 cylinder and i see a lot of them for sale. Never had a sports car before and this car is so sexy. It definitely stands out from other cars
I agree Kyle they are stunning and well worth the money IMHO. I also agree on the engine, while they are all great cars, the R and SVR are the full meal deal and the way I would go again.
Lexus last year made the remote start not work without subscription too. But everyone complained and they reversed it. C8 doesn’t have the luxury nor refinement to compare to any Jaguar lol vs a F-Type.
That is true the C8 is a little course. Fun but raw and less refined.
I hate that I cant drive em in the winter! Such a bummer (I live in Saudi Arabia)
Haha nice.
The hood is good but the bumper is off and needs adjustment
Thanks for the heads up, I will have to look into that. Love this car.
Why did you say you would not drive the car if there is blizzard or lots of snow overnight? Even if you had nice winter tires? I have a CLA 250 for the winter and I was planning to replace it with a f-type r for the winter months, as I know it’s AWD. What exactly is the problem or problems about driving it in the winter. It’s a a genuine question, and I hope you have give me an honest answer, as I am a bit concerned now.
Hi Peter, it can be driven in winter with proper wi there tires as the AWD system works OK too as does the heater and heated seats and steering wheel. Only limits are steel crossmember below can rust otherwise rest of car is aluminum and plastic and is fine, so it’s really just the front chin spiller as running into A windrow or snow bank can wreck it. Bottom line, it will work, it’s just there are better winter vehicles
@@markholubetz Ok, I know there are plenty of better winter vehicles, but can you think of a better winter vehicle that is at least as cool as the Jaguar f-type r AND does not cost more than it?
Dude, how did you do a 28 minute video of an F-type and not fire the engine up?!
Haha that’s fair. Many other videos with that
I have a rwd r and sometimes mine makes noise on fully locked turns too
Man this would have been an epic video if not for the wind noise. It was too much of a distraction to stay tuned in to. There are some cool LAV mics on the market that would make a huge difference when recording videos in such elements.
You bet, thats fair, it has been since upgraded for other vids.
For maintenance and repairs do you go to the Jaguar dealership in Edmonton or you have been able to find a good (and cheaper) independent mechanic?
Nice, I have been mainly using the dealer but I have had warranty and extra CPO so just stuck with them…for now
What’s faster this stock or a mustang 10 speed or a C7???
how much have you payed in repairs services etc? Btw what's the mileage on her?
Hi I will definitely get the totals in a bit and share in a video but my car has 62000 kms on it and going strong.
I might buy a 2014 V8 S at 80k miles for $26k what would you recommend looking out for
Maintenance records for cooling system such as fittings, Y pipe, any fuel injectors? Noisy engine rattle on top could be a supercharger snorkel, black puddle out back could be carbon exhaust moisture but be sure to confirm it’s not rear diff oil. Check records on differential oil and servicing as that’s a sensitive area
Everything seemed fine except the convertible top motor was broken so I respectfully passed on it
The search continues
$0 deductible window insurance for an added $30 a month. My car insurance offers it. Might take a gander and see if yours does too.
Thanks yes I will give it a look
Correction: it is about 60 thousand for a set of electric batteries. And that's in a Hyundai, which makes me think you'd probably have to sell your home for a new set of batteries in a BMW.
I agree
Yeah and a ruined V8 after a stuck injector or waterpipe you'll get for free is what youre saying? You know what just the engine alone cost?!
My god, the wind is killing me.
....................Gotta LUV Z RED on lower Spoiler how it Outlines the exhaust tips and the Line NOT Straight but rather rising / falling once more to Outline exhaust GQQD eye Mark! This is what I do to my vehicles hat are Atomic Silver as will!
Thank you so much
summary of this are a few good observations but its the wrong car for you, mine is city/country in a temperate climate and its fab baby
A few limitations but I love my Jag
So many poor design flaws for such an expensive, beautiful, thrilling beast. I pay for perfection so I may have to pass and select the LC 500 instead.
That’s fair. The LC is a nice car.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Thanks very much
That is one great sexy looking car.
How many miles u got on it?
About 65,000 kms
Yr model?
F type r
*~*~*~ Very pretty car ....However, Mark...U GOTTA Still Paint that REAR Caliper RED.............HELLO!
I agree
Sounds like you e bought a car that YOU don't wanna do anything to, instead, complain about what others haven't done. You bought a car and drove try leasing one out patna. Why are you driving it in freezing weather? These are made for weekends in seasonal temps. Or for me. In Texas. So I can drive it every day. LMAO. An F-Type in Canada..ey ol. Yeah I'm sure it'll be fine.
It still works. The F pace is a hearty SUV that many drive in the winter here too and the f type is a very similar machine
