I’m the owner of a 2012 Jaguar XJL x351. I’m thinking of decorating my garage with.advertising signs from the OEM suppliers to Jaguar for my car for the various parts and lubricants. For example, I know the tires are Pirelli and the engine oils Castrol Edge. But, I can’t find any information on who the other suppliers were of anything else, such as spark plugs, car battery, control arms, other lubricants, etc. Can anyone provide some information on other suppliers of parts for my Jag. Thanks so much in advance.

The blower was supplied by Eaton in the US. Bosch and Denso both supplied electrical stuff. Bilstein has in the past supplied suspension items. Mainly the struts. ZF made the transmission. NGK made the plugs. Lemforder (Now owned by ZF I think?) was also a suspension part supplier. Battery was made by Varta. Ford was a HUGE contract manufacturer to JLR but those contracts have run out so way less involvement by Ford now. Can you get a TATA sign? That's who owns the whole show these days.

Maybe others will post more.

Thanks much

Be sure and post some pictures of the signs you get. I am not a big sign guy but have a few hanging in the shop. I help with car auctions here in Houston and the prices these signs can bring is eye watering!

ATE supplied the brake system.
(not sure about the ABS part? Bosch?)

 

I think it would be fun to do a similar thing but use the flags of all the countries that provided contributions to the car - whether parts, software, etc..

Would be interesting to see that displayed. I wonder if Jaguar Heritage would have that kind of data?

 

Thank you for the info

Valeo did the lights.
Pilkington / Saint-Gobain did the glass.
Leer did most of the internal trim pieces.
Bosch did all the crap bits that fail at regular intervals.

thanks for the good info, with all the issues I’ve had with small Bosch bits, I think I’ll pass on a Bosch sign-lol
