The future is here.. The use of the ZF8HP gearbox is frankly the biggest technological jump in the Jaguar world for the last 20 years, a gearbox that didn’t just take a technological leap forward but had taken a space rocket and meant it wasn’t on this planet anymore in comparison to the earlier iterations. The ZF5, ZF6 or even earlier boxes of the 80’s and early 90’s were such a slow and awkward affaire that they could almost be the poster child for why the auto box was such a…

TAMING THE CAT: TAROX SUPER SPORT BRAKE KIT FOR THE JAGUAR F-TYPE There’s no denying the Jaguar F-Type has presence. Whether in “S” or full-fat “R” guise, its mix of classic proportions, thunderous exhaust notes, and rear-driven (or AWD) aggression has carved a space for it among the modern GT elite. But behind that snarling face and muscular stance, there’s been one persistent shortcoming—brakes that, frankly, don’t live up to the car’s potential. Enter the TAROX Super Sport Brake Caliper Kit, a game-changing upgrade developed in partnership with TAROX Italy and…

There’s a distinct character to Jaguar vehicles, it’s a fusion of effortless power, elegance, and that unmistakable rear-drive rhythm. Yet even the most carefully engineered performance saloon or grand tourer has its compromises, especially when built to serve a mass-market audience. Beneath all the beauty and brawn lies a structural compromise many owners never notice, until they fix it. Apologies to any accountants reading this but they are the ones who often design cars, not the engineers and hence to the compromise.  “ The Swallows Racing  X100 Lower Chassis Braces Bring…

New Powerflex Products Are Incoming For Late Land Rover And Range Rover Models Land Rover‘s Premium SUV offerings have a lot of boxes to tick, combining practicality, high-end luxury, and the ability to transition from on-road to off-road seamlessly. This is especially true for D7u/x platform vehicles, including the latest Discovery and Defender. Naturally, given the weight and usage of these vehicles, they can be hard on their bushes, and an area that suffers most is the large oil-filled bush in the front radius arm, where excessive wheel deflection and ‘snatching’…
