Engine cover fasteners - 1 wanted

Postby XK8Dundee » Thu Oct 15, 2015 3:38 pm

I have a 2003 4.2 ltr XK8 and have just noticed I am missing one of the 4 plastic fixing screws which secure it in place. According to Jaguar they come with the cover only and cannot be purchased separately. Anyone happen to have one lying about or know where I can get one.

Cheers

Hi Walter,
Try Eurojag which advertises in the magazine to buy a cover with fixings. Alternatively, eBay or one of the other breakers advertising in the magazine should be able to fulfil your requirement. Mike.

Have the same issue myself across both S-type V8 and X350R V8.

Also try Andy at Auto Reserve. He is a good fellow and very reasonable.

Tried everywhere I could find a No for but couldn't get fixing screw on their own only if I bought cover too. Eventually found this item on e-bay (item no 271977334272) so hopefully will fit, fingers crossed.

Got screws today and are correct ones, according to paperwork they fit XJ6, XJ8, S-TYPE, X350 etc.
