Alarm Sounder and Audio Amp Availability

[yeltneb]

Hi All
I posted a problem with battery drain on my 2005 XK8 recently.
It's now been diagnosed as a faulty Audio Amp, so that needs replacing. And I also need to replace the Alarm Sounder as a precaution as they are prone to fail.
Unfortunately the Audio Amp and Alarm Sounder are apparently no longer available.
Can anyone help ?
Many thanks.

A used audio amp looks likely to be your best bet. AutoReserve Jaguar say they have two in stock at the moment. This link will get you there

There's also a few sounders here

Variation in types and prices!

The later type of sounder that I would think you have (like mine) can be split open and the stack of rechargeable
coin-like cells can be found online and renewed if that appeals to you. Mine doesn't give me any problems, but I've never been able to make it sound on it's own yet!

Many thanks for that
