Default Purchased new to me F type R

Greetings and thanks for letting me join the group. We should have our new to us 2017 F type R convertible coming to us from Florida in a week or so. Hope this is the proper sub section for introductions. Anyway it’s pristine with only 15xxx miles on it. Is there anything we should look for or be concerned about with MY2017?

Thx in advance!

Gerry

Start with an intro in the... Intro Section, here: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...-intro-must-5/

Then maybe start with this thread: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...issues-105493/

It's a 2022 but not that far away from a 2017

Congrats. I have a 2016 with the same mileage. Clearly we both need to get some miles on our cars. Had mine 1.5 years. Looking forward to some pics.

Congratulations Gerry!
I have the almost the exact same model, but mine is the 2016 "S" AWD Red Convertible ( just received it a few weeks ago ), with 13K miles. This car is truly the off-spring of The Beauty & The Beast ( especially your R model )!

I do have one tip for you... at first just take it for a short drive, then shut it down, wait around 15 minuets and check your oil level in the computer ( which is the only way you can check your oil level ).
This may seem silly, but you have to make sure your oil level was not over filled ( trust no one! ). We've all been warned about "Engine Oil Over Fill" in these engines, it seems this will do more harm than good.
I myself had this problem, as well as many of us who got our cars used.

Enjoy!!! And let us know if you need any help, or have any questions, here in the Forums.
