So I walk out to my car this morning and notice something looks odd. The center cap on my wheel is missing. The growler cap.

Crap, I know I'll get raped at a dealership, anyone ever had to replace one? Mine has a green back ground on it.

Thanks,

 

That sucks!

I just replaced all my center caps with the green & silver. I found them on ebay from a seller id alis937.

Also, Davis Auto Group that Jaguarparts.com connects to sells them for a few bucks more. When you're at jaguarparts.com, you need to go to the parts link.

Hope this helps!

 

Ebay's your cheapest option. I found a brand new perfect set there for less than half of what the dealer wanted to charge.

 

Try Ebay for sure, BUT, at least give our Jaguar vendors a crack at the whip....you never know, they might just surprise you?

 

Exrub, thanks, I searched the guy on ebay found him, bought one for 9.00 plus shipping so I'm into it for about 19.00 which is still way cheaper than the dealer.

I checked the other guy too at jaguarparts, he's got a couple of things I need. My reverse sensor box crapped out. I might look at a wrecker to find one though since theonly reason I want one is so everything works, the sensor actually bugs me.

 

Hey, sidewalkman, that's great.

I actually bought a set so I would have extras just in case. Plus, when you spread the shipping over four, each cost a bit less. That's the accounting side in me, though.

On the jaguarparts site, I signed up for an account. However, when I was ordering, it wasn't working right so I called and told them that I was an internet customer. This way, you get the parts at some discounted price. Just in case you didn't know of this yet.

 

Hi, Jim!

I fully understand your message.

I believe I actually found out about Jaguarparts.com somewhere on Jaguarforums.com. I notice that it doesn't appear as a link on the screen, but just thought I'd let you know that's how I found them.

As a side note, I'm really hoping they start to release more info on the possible 2012 X-Type soon.

 

IF JAGUAR EVER BRINGS BACK THE X, ILL QUIT
Anf the only thing Ive heard rummor of is a Etype based on the ole E type. because Tata wants to true 2 seater roadster/coupe styled Jag.

 

I'll tell you I'm no fan of the 2 seaters jag put out since the e-type.

But the new XKR and XFR are very nice cars, probably a bit over priced given Jaguars history and from what I hear no more reliable that what we're all driving now.

I was in the dealership when I was having the TCM issue, and the service advosr had to take a call from a clustomer, bought a brand new XFR, had an issue (not sure what but it was electrical, fault codes) so the car was back in after a week. They gave him another XFR as the courtesy car and what do you know, it got the identical fault codes and electrical problems....he was pissed. I was sitting on the other side of the desk and I could hear clearly every word he said.
