Yikes... I'm upgrading to the R-Dynamic from the Base so I can get the LSD for driving all year round (in the snow). Let's hope this problem has been fixed on the 2018's.

The R-Dynamic will have an old-school mechanical LSD. Play in the snow all you want. It's the V8R that has the eLSD.

mine is being replaced at 7500 KMS (4660 miles). I noticed a 'whirring noise' coming from the engine when under load above 110 kmh.... really high pitched - enough to be annoying even with music. The dealer located the noice quickly and was authorised to replace the diff within a day.... its now been 5 weeks waiting for the part to arrive.....

My eDiff blew itself apart at 9,000km
Chaps,
Speaking of electronic diff problems with V8 F-Types...
My car is a dinosaur - an MY14.
The main gear in my original diff had a geartooth defect from its manufacture and gave way at only medium revs - leading to major rupture of the diff housing, a rather rapid Failure To Progress, and an Andy Warhol-esque oil-on-bitumen painting under/behind/everywhere around the car.
The diff's electronic motor was left dangling. Dangling!
Was covered under warranty but took 17 days to have a new diff airfreighted from the UK and fitted up.
No problems since but on occasion there have been a few yellow 'eDiff Fault' warnings come up after hard driving - but it seems to have no real effect on vehicle dynamics.
Hope this helps.

at just over 26k miles my rear diff is now being replaced under warranty too. '14 V8S. Will also take just over a week in order to get the diff in. Had one yellow E-Diff over heating warning once, maybe 2 years ago on the Dragon so no surprise there. No issues since until I noticed earlier this year a metallic grinding noise, primarily under throttle.
During test drive with service manager that was his guess too, a bad ball bearing. But called me back that same day that it was the diff.

Unfortunately Jaguar will never give us a failure analysis. I can tell you that my car was never tracked. Its driven 84 miles a day 80/20 hwy/city. I am very lucky no tune or pulley was installed as I can see them denying the warranty due to power train modifications.

I have pulley, exhaust and tune, dealer thought they would deny it but Jaguar did accept it the same day he submitted it.
Dealer said he submitted it as a "good will" because of low mileage, I would have fought a denial since I am within the drive train warranty both in time and miles terms.
Tuned or not, less than 2-3% of the miles are under full power, most trips are 2-3,000 miles at highway speed and less than a 100 miles spirited driving. The list is growing and includes low mileage, untuned cars ... a letter from a lawyer stating that the car is under warranty almost certainly will settle the case. The repair for Jaguar is cheaper than a law suite. This is not a car run on the track which you can easily determine.
