I had to drive 8 hours round trip to pull an ECU wire harness a month ago since there are not many of these Jaguar left. I could not remove the exhaust header since it was very difficult to remove. Surprisingly, my local junk yard just had one X305 in their inventory. I will go check it out and will determine to pull the exhaust header since they are so cheap. What other parts should I pull for backup?

 

Some of these parts may be gone already or damaged, but if not, some X305 particular parts that are hard to find/very expensive if you do:

ECU
TCU if you can get to it behind the dash (grab the BPM too)
Radiator
A/C condenser
A/C compressor
A/C lines
Oil cooler (behind the bumper but worth the dig, just cut the rubber tubes not the pipes)
Engine top cover
Air intake assemblies with horn that goes into fenders (the tabs break)
MAP sensors (2) at rear of each cylinder bank
Harmonic balancer?
Maybe, the whole transmission if it has the orange markings on it (updated/corrected unit)!

A few more items will be added I'm sure.

 

Richard, what's this about the "corrected "transmision?

Just down the list a little ways, this thread begun with research by Oliver Marks, with Lady Penelope providing some of the meat of knowledge. See the TSB pdf files.

I was searching ebay for used 20-spoke wheels, as I'd like another spare. Only found one "reconditioned" at the price of well over $200, and a set of 4 chromed ones for $1400. There were a lot of used 6-hole "dimple" wheels for sale and ironically I still have one of those from my old car. So the 20-spokes might be getting a little harder to find. They are usually found on the VDP and XJ12. Wonder if this parts car has any good ones still left on it???
