Hi. I have a chirp somewhere in the front end that I can hear at low speed. Seems to be road surface related (i.e. from bumps), it is more of a chirp than anything, like you used to get in an old school bus going over bumps. Not sure if plastic or metal.

I had my tyre guys put it on a hoist and they did things but it hasnt gone away. Has anyone diagnosed something similar?

 

Never had that problem myself but it sounds to me like a front tyre could be rubbing on the wheel well lining.
If this is the cause you should be able to see rub mark(s) on the wheel well lining.
If you can't find any such marks then maybe find a suitable bump and helper, then get the helper to watch and listen as you drive the car over the bump.

Edit - there is a faint chance the chirp is due to one of the engine bay brace bolts being a little loose, see here: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...7/#post2210568
You need a Torx T50 to check/tighten them.

 

I have had this since my purchase, and I can't reproduce it reliably. I asked the dealer to take a look at it, so they look it out drive and could not "find anything out of the ordinary for an F-Type". The nice mechanic said because of all the plastic bits in the F-Type, you are going to have noises. Would will take a look at the bay brace bolts!

 

Can't help you specifically (the above suggestions are good)...If it were me, I'd put it on a 4 post lift and hang/bounce from the support braces to try and duplicate the chirp with the engine off. I'd look carefully at the sway bar drop links, those can make noise with only a smidgen of looseness.


Now you guys know why my oil change regimen is to spray silicone on every rubber bushing I can find while the oil is draining (from the sump bolt). As my cars get older, I sometimes use a grease gun with a needle fitting to inject lubrication into ball joints and tie rod ends that don't have grease fittings.
