I hate this weather!

[Madpig56]

why not keep it in the garage over night?

Couldn’t do that……it won’t fit with all the other stuff in there!

Besides, I like the thought that it sleeps next to me but just on the other side of the wall

If you have the foresight to know when it's going to be frozen when you need the car you can set the wake-up timer. Sadly we're not all that prescient.

That's news to me. I've had a look on the Forum and in iGuide, but can't see how/where to set this.

Could you point me in the direction of this info?

In the Jaguar Remote app, go to 'More' -> 'Vehicle Settings' -> 'Wake Up Timer' (bottom of the screen).

It let's you select a time and day to' wake up' the remote system, to allow use of the remote features. I believe it'll then shut down again after 60 hours to preserve the battery life.

Thank you very much for sending this - I would never have gone into that menu. Some top class UX/UI by Jag there! Surely it would have been better to have in the "Remote" section? I'll give this a test for Tuesday

It's a vehicle setting, not a remote function.

I agree - from a technical/engineering perspective, yes, it's a vehicle setting. But even in Vehicle Settings, it's under the "Remote" banner.

From a user/customer journey perspective, it's an enabler for Remote functions. Almost all use cases for enabling wake-up are due to Remote as described by Jag themselves, which for UX/UI convenience should be grouped together.

Either way, I'm just pleased to know where it is

Ice is still playing havoc with my driver’s side door lock and I’m wondering whether this is going to be a long term problem.

That said, it was minus six degrees in our village this morning and even though I managed to open the door it would not close properly.

I tried the usual tricks ie spraying the lock with de icer and warming the car up for 30 minutes all to no avail.

Fortunately our factory car park is secure and I had to leave the car unlocked until nearly 1 o’clock before it would open / close properly.

I went home for lunch and came back and it was fine but when I finished work at six o’clock…….it was frozen again and despite the fact that it actually opened……I bet you can guess the rest….that’s right it wouldn’t shut!!

I am getting fed up with this now but I do wonder how people abroad cope with this as other countries have much worse weather than us.

Surely there must be a way to prevent this happening??

This caught me out last year. Now I know to prepare. Just poured warm water but once could open dried moisture with a towel to preven it freezing again. Its really annoying though as my Macan has zero issues to resolve. Price to pay for flush handles and frameless windows.

Take a look at the US forum. There are more owners running their F-Types in freezing conditions over there so someone might have some advice. From what I've seen though, as mentioned by Mark, it just seems to be the price you have to pay for frameless windows and flush handles because it also happens to other brands. One of the reasons to why I never leave the F-Type parked up outdoors in freezing temperatures.

Mind you, it's not only frameless pop out handle cars that suffer from this. It also happened once or twice with an XF I had a long time ago during a period when I couldn't use my garage. For instance one morning all seemed fine and I drove off but while driving suddenly the passenger door opened and wouldn't latch/close properly. :/

Mine hasn't moved all week and won't be moving today!

I think you'll find with door locks the issue is not the lock actuator itself, but it's bowden cables, internal to the door.

The bowden cables, which connect the actuator to the moving parts of the locking mechanism, having moisture inside which freezes and causes many symptoms from handles not popping out, locks not releasing, or not latching shut when trying to close the door, regardless of the remote seeming to operate the lock.

Link shows the F Type has 3 such cables:

As the cables are internal to the door application of de-icer or even local heat for a short time usually has no effect, only the inside of the door warming during driving or longer term ambient warming works.

Permanent solution is to either lubricate or replace the offending cable or cables.

For the secondary issue of glass or seals sticking simply apply Gummi Pflege to the seals in autumn. Readily available as a stick to simply run around the door seals and they will simply never stick again for the season.
