What have you done to your F Type today?
New rear tyres on order for Tuesday fit. The rears have worn about 1.5mm more on the inside than the outside. Is this typical or is it worth getting an alignment check? If so, are amost tyre shops capable of adjusting F-types' alignment properly, or should I aim for a Jag specialist?

Any decent tyre shop should be able to do it but Mike Allen Services have all the necessary wheel alignment equipment so if I was in Swindon that’s where I would head.Jaguandy wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2024 11:40 am New rear tyres on order for Tuesday fit.

Nice run out around Kent and East Sussex with the Drivers Fanatics today in fairly decent weather and a nice mix of cars.Also spotted a lovely SVR coming up Bluebell Hill this afternoon with a great number plate.Wonder if they are on the forum?

I wouldn’t take the F-Type to a Kwik Fit, but I have found Pro-Tyre in Taunton to be very professional when it comes to tyres and alignment. For tyres, I have used Pro-Tyre for my FType and my wife’s Audi S4 and they’ve always done a good job and appreciate that these are performance cars and treat them accordingly. Of course Jag dealerships and Jag specialists should also be excellent.Jaguandy wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2024 11:40 am New rear tyres on order for Tuesday fit.

I can recommend Chris and Pete at Centre Gravity in Atherstone near Tamworth. Exceptional service. They have honed many cars for me over the years and are the most enthusiastic car nuts I have ever met. They take the car out with you and demonstrate what is happening, ask what you want and explain fully the implications and rewards of doing it this way or that way. They test the shocks and inspect the underside of the car, tyres etc. Quite apart from the service you get some really hands on visual pointers. Well worth it.
Been a few months since I had my undercarriage treated. Here are some of the pictures before and after treatment. The work was undertaken by JR Classics in Doncaster. He washes the underside fully, gives it 24 hrs to dry helped by sticking it in a low heat oven, then gets a grinder on the underside to remove all loose surface rust, the treats it with a rust inhibitor, then in my case, treated it with Dynitrol. Five days work. Prefect protection. Well pleased.
