Hello Jag world,
For my introduction as a new member of the Forum.
Last month I replaced my 1994 Porsche 928 with an F-Type 2024 Coupe.
I think had Porsche continued the 928s' it would very much resemble the F-Type in performance and looks.
I am in my 70s' and I live in Brisbane.
I was involved in the restoration and mechanical work required to keep the 928 alive.
I'm hoping not to have to start fiddling with the Jag.
A few surprises with the new car:
- no adaptive cruise control(which our 5 yo $40k Mazda has )
- no paper owners manual - really!! ( how do you access the iGuide anywhere west of Toowoomba ?)
- why would you stick a bloody big eyesore roundel on each door of a truly elegant classic like the F Type.
a few small bitches outweighed by all the good things I've found.
Can't see when/where I would ever get to feel the full potential of the car but it certainly looks like it's going fast even when it's parked.
To get a decent upholstery I had to buy the 'dirty white' colour. My first job is to change the colour with a vinyl wrap in midnight blue.
I'm thinking this will preserve the original paintwork as this model may be collectible in the future.
It seems this car has a lot of electrics so I have hooked up a trickle charger port in the wheel well ( without destroying anything)
I've removed the spare ( for suburban/city trips) and can now let my wife bring her handbag along. :^)
I'm looking forward to engaging with other 'fair dinkum' members on the forum, having been on a 928 forum for a number of years
I'm aware of the pitfalls of jumping into skirmishes and pet subjects, with 928s it was 'oil' I guess I'll soon find out what it is with Jags'.
All the best to all members.

 

Welcome aboard from South of the Border.

 

Looks like you have a ZP Edition, and yes those roundels are a bit of a joke.
Looks like the ZP was the last hurrah of the AJ133 but maybe just maybe JLR will see the light and bring it back before the company goes under.
With F-Types the pet subjects are "best/correct oil?", "what is this rattle/noise/tick/clunk?", best tyres, best replacement coolant system pipes, best battery maintainer, best place/way to connect said maintainer and last but not least "what is this unplugged little white electrical plug near the battery?".
Also, meet your twin: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...4/#post2829539
Another 2024 F-Type ZP in off-white from Brisbane purchased recently, what are the odds!

 

Hi Guys,
thanks for the welcome, it really is strange that Jag would sell 2 so close, I think the other one might be from the gold coast.
seems like coolant pipes might be a 'thing' ? I hate to think of getting into that engine bay and haven't mined so deep to see the white plug.
I'm ready for learning alot.

Hello,
Congratulations on your new Jaguar F-type!
Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.
(';')

 

welcome to the forum - enjoy!!!

 

Again, thank you for the welcome.
I have searched how to put vehicle details in my signature but don't seem to be able to find the CP option mentioned.
I have pasted from a word document this time but would like to have it imbedded in my posts automatically.

I have also searched handbooks but it appears there is no printable version of the F-Type 2024 iGuide.
Is it a thing ?, I have printed the Topix handbook and selectively printed 2024 iGuide sections to supplement but it's a bit of a mismatch.F-TYPE 2024 ZP Coupe Crystal Grey

 

Again, thanks for the welcome,
I did post this before but seem to have lost it's way.
I have searched how to add car details to signature but having trouble locating the CP mentioned.
Also has anyone seen a printable copy of the 2024 F-Type iGuide handbook ?
Cheers

 

Welcome to the Forums.

Members in the F Type Tech Section will have answers for you.

Good luck.

 

Thanks Grant,

I'll check it out.

Fairly sure JLR stopped producing printable (eg PDF) versions of the iGuides many years ago.
I suppose you could open each chapter/page of the iGuide on line, "save as" PDF, then stitch them all together to build a single printable PDF.
This is pretty much what the provider of my Workshop Manual did a few years ago (using Topix) but no-one does this any more.
It would take an eternity and more skills than I have to do it!

 

I've actually been working on that prior to joining the forum.
I completed it last night.
The limitations are that I edited out unnecessary pages (certifications conformities etc.) I removed some of the redundant warnings, cautions and notes.
I removed some references to convertibles and specs/capacities not related to 5L AWD.
I used the F -Type handbook JJM 10 02 35 141 as the base, printed it then printed each relevant 'new, 2024' section from the 2024 iGuide.
I scanned and combined them using the original Index and numbered the new pages to suit. I ended up with a complete 2024 F-type 5L AWD Coupe manual in PDF.
It's broken into 10 files each of 20-50 pages.
It's probably a good resource for a limited number, I'm happy to share it with other members if I knew how to give it to the forum.
Thanks for alerting me to the fact it wasn't available, I don't feel my trouble was wasted now.
