Hello friends!

My 2000 XJ8 won't start. A local mechanic told me that the alternator, battery, and brake pads/brake rotors all need to be replaced. It's a right-hand drive by the way.

Could you please share some advice, about getting either used parts from someone else in the forum, or a recommended trustworthy website for ordering all of the above?

Thank you so much!

 

Check rockauto.com, or partsgeek.com both good n cheap. Alternator???? Really!!! Theyre pretty expensive cause they rarely fail. I would go more battery, bulkhead fitting in engine compartment, and or ground strap(engine to chassis)

 

Yuo can try our vendors , since you're a forum member you can also get some discount

thank you very much!

I found five different alternators in rockauto.com, does anyone have any suggestion as to which model to choose?

 

Hi
I found another forum thread where the Alternator parts were found and used to rebuild it:

https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...ild-fyi-58290/

The reason I thought to research the parts available for X308 (XJ) was that I have had the good fortune to be able to replace the brushes in the alternator for our 1990 Acura Legend.

The snap-in set of brushes are available at our local Acura dealership.

It does sound like the Jaguar is as easy as the Acura alternator fix.
