It'll be fine, the next owner will be none the wiser I'm sure.

Looking at the OPs profile, I'd guess at Shrewsbury??

Just had the pleasure of starting a V8S in Bristol, inside the showroom, exhaust mode set to noisy. OMG, what an immense sound!

PH has a no "name and shame" policy... so I would suggest the OP gives a clue...

You were lucky. H&S means that cars are (usually) not allowed to have running engines in the showroom. This is why they are pushed in. I presume this was a Sunday afternoon and the sales staff were bored stless? They were probably as interested as you were to hear the noise!

Really? When I collected my 911 a few years ago it was deep in the showroom from where I started it and drove it home. Same thing for the guy in front of me and his Boxster.

Anyway, when are we likely to see an F type on the road? I haven't seen any yet.

Guys one post, And it's this?, And you are taking it as gospel?

Call me cynical.


Hmmmm do you really think the manager of a dealer would put up with that.



Wouldnt be surprised if this guy either works for Mercedes or is that guy that constantly slags off jaguar when any story appears on the front page and seems to hold a vendetta towards them. He then asks is this normal practice for jaguar dealers???


Plus the thread is titled f type. Not Witnessed bad things at dealer what should I do etc etc


I'm calling bullst. Just seems such an odd first post.

Compare your post to this one.

You state what you saw and ask what to do. You are also a member for a long time and its not your first post.

This post is a first and only and the tone is different.

It's almost like somebody has seen your post and joined just to post it again or did you sign up again?

New members who post like this make me suspicious. Will read you thread interested in he outcome.


Edit read more it seems your father has joined my apologies. I'm sure you can see where I was coming from.
Regards.
