  1. N6 JMX Thanks for that just needed to be sure it wouldn't screw the transmission up after 5 miles. I've never like the look of these skinny little tyres and the thought of driving on one still scares me a bit so it would only be home or the nearest tyre shop to be fleeced . Thanks Pete.
  2. Hi I'm new to F Pace ownership and have recently purchased a 2017 3 litre to replace my R/R sport TDV8. And I'm loving the Jag after nearly 30 years of R/Rovers. But my concern is the lack of spare wheel there are loads of choices but I have 22" rims fitted and none of the 18" or 19" space saver wheels have the same rolling circumference. When imputing the tyre dimensions into a comparison calculator they are massive difference in overall circumference. The question is how does this affect the all wheel drive system on the F Pace as with the R/rover all 4 corners must be the same size or it buggers up the diffs some how. So what size wheel and tyre is safe to use with 22" rims on the other 3 corners. I would appreciate any info and feedback as a search of the form has thrown up no info. Pete.
  3. Before I brought my 5 Lt XK I looked at many and watch so many hours of U tube it all started to go blurry but the one thing most reviewers commented on was how a std system was so quiet with out pulling fuse 19 or swapping the rear pipe . But during my test drive it didn't sound to muffled but the weird thing was I didn't notice the quad pipes at the rear till I'd looked at a few more, so on a return viewing a quick look under the rear revealed a lack of oil drum size silencer which some might see as a bad thing I just saw a £800 saving on replacing it anyway. As I enter my mid to late 50s my feeble attempt to grow up and be more age appropriate seems to be a dismal failure. Pete.
  4. Hi to all my fellow Jag owners. My journey to Jag ownership has not gone as I planned and started last year when I decided to act my age and sell my 350z because it wasn't getting used enough to warrant it and wanted to go old school with something really basic like an Austin 8 or similar. Then the plan was to end nearly 30 years of Range rover ownership by swapping my L320 sport for a F pace. This is where it all went off on a tangent. While watching Bangers n cash the wife took fancy to an E type which was out of budget but got me thinking you see where this is heading. XK8's are now the focus but finding a rust free example for the budget wasn't happening so up the budget till we hitting X150 territory and after weeks of searching and hundreds of miles I became the owner of a 2009 5 litre XK. To say I'm happy is an understatement what an awesome car just can't wait for the weather to improve so I can get some serious miles in it but what about the plan of an F pace well the rangee has a buyer lined up and the F pace should be here next week but I can't help the feeling I might have bit to much off but only time will tell. Pete.
