Hello

Hi everyone!

I purchased a 2004 4.2 Xj8 (SE, i think), 160000km, a few weeks ago. It is by no means a show car and mechanically it will need some love as well. But, that's why I bought it. I wanted a car to work on. I have little experience in car tinkering but I have a technical background thru my profession and I am eager to learn

I am swedish and over here Jags are not that common so I will probably be relying a lot on Ebay for my parts needs. I have a (probably stupid) question relating to this.

Is there a comprehensive parts catalogue to be found online?

Currently looking for a valve cover gasket kit and get a bit worried about the fact that the ones I find for the x350 4.2 does not look the same

Also, I am planning to do a diff oil change and as I understand it I should replace the fill plug once done. However I can't seem to find one though Google.

I someone could help me I would be very grateful.

Best regards,
Johan

Hello johan, welcome to JEC.

I would definitely check main dealer prices instead of Ebay - some Ebay prices are ok, some are outrageous.

Parts catalogue - official Jaguar - https://www.jaguarclassicparts.com/uk/x ... 2732-parts

Aftermarket - selling genuine, OEM and aftermarket parts - https://www.sngbarratt.com/uk/#!/Englis ... all/1/10/1

Many others too - justjagsuk.com , Brit-parts.co.uk, Berkshire Jaguar components , etc etc - we are well served in this country, as you would expect.

Hopefully of use!
