Just remember the tow hooks have reverse threads on them. So when you screw them into the sockets you have to go "Righty loosey" "Lefty tighty" and not the other way around. ![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I thought I had the wrong tow hook since it wouldn't screw in to the socket so I threw it away...oops.

On my car the structural panels behind the dash were not fully/correctly bonded, five weeks at the dealer was the result, and evidence of the same issue is starting to appear from the c pillar area...
Looks and sounds good from the outside though

SSM70338 (A Jaguar Special Service Message) confirmes what we thought about the rear tow eye - it should have been removed from the vehicle and discarded during the PDI checks.
It is for securing the vehicle during transport only, and should never be used to actually tow or move the vehicle as it can damage the chassis.
The same is true for the F-Type, X351 XJ, old XF and the last of the XKs.

As far as the OP's and other QA problems I take it as reassurance that a wise choice is to purchase a pre-owned car from a private party enthusiast that has worked out most of the issues.
It is disheartening that a $100k+ car (r) has a laundry list of issues though and a $35k Mustang has very few.
