Jaguar does a terrible job just supporting the average customer, no less the consumer. Its not surprise to me that they don't offer a simple service like reporting numbers; they probably don't see the value of it.

 

I would give the F-Type just two more model years before JLR announce the end of production in 2019/2020.

 

 

 

Manufacturers taking part in this type of forum may not be a good idea for just the reason you state, getting embroiled in specific vehicle issues. However, and this was brought home to me in spades with my Ghibli, there is much to be gained by the manufacturer/dealers of a general nature by monitoring what car owners are experiencing with their products (good and bad.) I can't tell you how many problems arose with my Ghibli that were unfamiliar to the dealer's service department that I later found multiple references to on owner forums. I even mentioned this to the service manager and was told they don't monitor such sites. Oh, how many trips to the dealer and lost days of use some readily available information would have saved me.
