Hi there! I have only bought from the dealer so I can't help you much. Check out the various vendors on this site,though.
Love your car collection! I had a 71 2000TC, my brother had a 67, i drove a landrover 110 at work for years, and another brother had an MGBGT.
No 740s in the family but we do have an X5 and a 325.

Welcome to the forum!

I'm from the dufferin county area, glad to see more of us out north of the GTA.
As for where to purchase parts for your Jag, depends on what you want. For electrical parts like Radio and Sat nav, ebay is the best bet. I've always used it for those type of items.

For engine related items, Part Source or Canadian Tire can be of help. Because the ford influence on the 98-02 XJ/XK you can usually get a decent amount of parts from Canadian tire.

Also keep you eyes open for GOOD auto wreckers, I was lucky in that I got a radio for my 96 VDP from London Ont.

Hope that helps you out.
Mike

Good to hear from fellow canucks. Will pass on any local suppliers that I find. London auto wrecking yards seem to be easy to deal with. I have picked up numerous parts there over the years. Looking for a few odd parts does anyone have a parts car that they are piecing out?

you'll probably have to order the parts in advance if you goto partsource, I had to wait a few days for engine/cabin filter myself

Just ran across your post today.......better late than never! I've bought two Jags from Birkshire in Thornhill, and they have a few 'parting out' cars in the back forty. They are definitely worth a call; very knowledgeable.
