Missing letter R from Jaguar on Engine cover

Postby GeoffSpencer1 » Mon Apr 20, 2020 12:58 pm

Long shot but any help or pointers gratefully received. The word JAGUAR on my XJR engine cover is missing the letter ‘R’ anyone know where I can get a letter ‘R’ or a new set of letters? Thanks in advance. Geoff

The chances of getting a replacement letter are minimal I would think. You would probably be better to look for a second hand cover.

Hello Geoff,
Found this on eBay,thought it might help:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Door-Stic ... SwzFxa1ziS
Not sure what size stickers are on the coil pack cover as mine are just plain but I have the engine covers(no supercharger) :(
I had a quick look on Jaguar Classic and found they are no longer available.
Might be worth a try.
Hope that helps a bit.
Stay safe.

There's a plain coil cover on eBay - key 274071483839 into the search box. It's for an S-type V8 but it should fit.

Afternoon All,

Thanks for your help and suggestions. I didn’t manage to find a secondhand cover but found these. I’ve bought them and they’re £3.20 for two sets. Not sure what they’ll be like but colour match is good and design a straight copy of the original.

Great result,they look perfect and a good price as well.
Well done on finding the company.

Let us know what they are like when you get them.

Geoff - well done!
One of the covers on my XKR needs to be replaced as the 2 of the lugs are broken and it doesn't seal well any more. That's an issue on the XKR due to the bonnet vents allowing water to drip onto the cam covers. Finding a good used cover is no issue but only the supercharged cars have the Jaguar legend on them and they are NLA from Jaguar so this is a great help. Now I can use a plain cover and these decals I'm a happy boy!
I know its not a big thing considering all the s**t that's going on in the world but finding this sort of thing does give me a buzz!
