Needing some help, please!
 

Dear All,

I write to you due to some troubles I have with my friend's Jaguar X-Type 2.5 (2004).
Because of his lack of any technical knowledge, my friend "succeeded" to destroy his engine by driving the car with no oil!!!
In his attempt to repair his car he went to an official Romanian dealer workshop from Bucharest 5 MONTHS ago. Unfortunately, they were not able to bring all the engine's components in order to make that car working again.
So, my request to you is: Please, help me find the crankshaft (original art. nr. XR819427) which is not available at the producer, the estimated delivery term being around 6 months.
I have also another option: to repair the old crankshaft at the level two and to find new level two repair bushings for it. I hope my English is understandable enough from the technical point of view http://www.jaguarforum.co.uk/images/...icon_smile.gif
I would really appreciate any advice or suggestion you may have.
Thank you very much in advance for your help and understanding. Waiting for your reply also on my e-mail address: gabrielmoisescu@pitstoptuning.ro

Best regards,

Gabriel

Hi,I am moving your thread right off to the X Type Forums so that you get better and quicker respomses than our X TYpe Owners . This place where you posted is for new members who like to meet our forum members

eBay?
 

Have you looked on eBay? Either in Romania or U.K./U.S, X-Types are often being broken up and the parts sold off....

Your English is very good.

Im not sure if the ford version fo the enigine has the same cranksafter or not, but you might wantt o look into it, after all this engine is just a heavely modified ford one.

Ebay would be your friends best best.. Unless there are salvage yards where you are and hopefully they have X-Types for parts.

Your friend has to be on point when it comes to oil changes in his X.. This is not the first time I have heard of engine failure in a X due to low/no oil..
