You can really tell who really owns JLR products versus those who just make random commentary on car sites in between their lunch breaks at school. I need only open the hood on my F-Type R and see the parts marked FoMo (Ford Motor Company) on the engine. But the trolls lives revolve around AI, Wikipedia etc…which is truly sad.😔

Do you know WHY so many parts on the AJ133 and AJ126 have FoMoCo markings? Obviously not.
Spoiler alert - I explain below.
It is NOT because those are Ford engines or contain any Ford engine parts, there are no parts on these engines which are interchangeable with any Ford engine except maybe the odd nut or bolt.
Back in 2009 when the AJ133 was designed (by JLR with maybe a little help from Ford engineers seeing as Ford owned JLR from 1998 to 2008), JLR made a deal with Ford to have the engine built in the Ford engine plant at Bridgend (England). On a special production line for only the AJ133 (and later the AJ126 from 2012 onwards).
It made economic sense for both JLR and Ford to use parts made by Ford in/at that engine plant so that's what they did. These parts were specifically and only for the AJ133 and AJ126 and have never been used in any other new engine let alone a Ford engine.
Then in 2020 this deal expired and JLR moved the manufacture of the AJ123 and AJ126 to their new multi-billion $ engine plant at Wolverhampton, but they continued to use parts stamped FoMoCo.

Not that there's anything wrong with Ford engines but for some reason Jag owners tend to be a bit sensitive to this. If you want to get flamed on any Jag forum, start talking about Ford engines or how unreliable Jags are because of the Lucas electrics.
Anyways, the F-Type is a brilliant example of peak car and IMHO peak F-Type was right after the MY18 facelift, before the gas particulate filters.

parts appearing elsewhere as if it’s something bad. I CURRENTLY have TWO of these engines because of the FORD association. The supercharger maybe unique to the engine too, so are you then banned from giving credit to that manufacturer ???☮️

In other words: Ford based. Never said anything about

And the Eaton TVS R1900 is commonly fitted to several engines not just the AJ133, including Ford, GM and Jeep.

If you take Ford out of the equation; you have NOTHING; which is why they went to BMW because they lacked the resources to make the 5.0 EU compliant.
