AJ82340 is the gasket at the bottom end of the EGR Pipe. I was able to get the upper and the one between The EGR & TB.
Before the dealer gave me this great news, I had been wondering about making a gasket. This is the last part I need to get the TB back in the car.
The OEM is something derived from copper. Could I use the old one & torque it a wee bit more?
Or, would it be better to make a new one? What material would you recommend? There is plenty of room to use the old gasket and put a gasket on either side.
Thanks, Thomas. That 1st link you so kindly provided is no longer affiliated with Jag. As far as making a gasket, can it be that hard? I did a little more research and found there are 2 gasket materials suitable for high-temp manifold scenarios: flexible graphite and high-temp fiber.
Is there any reason not to use the original along with a thin coating of the Permatex high-temp silicone on both sides?
Spray the old one liberally with this, allow it to get tacky, and reinstall. Done it bunches of times on intakes, exhaust gaskets, and various coolant ones as well. You can get it at Autozone, Advance or Tractor Supply.

Anneal, what a beautiful word; I recognized having heard it, but had to look it up. I see biochemists also use it.
Just learned that the good ole USPS has delayed the part I am awaiting until next week. Think I’ll run over to the marina and change the belts on the diesel. This tinkering has gotten into my blood. I think it is keeping elastomeric!

And you, kind Sir!
Hoping for a GREAT weekend.
Got my one (2005 XJ8-L) back on the road just a few days ago. Now have over 600 miles on the two new Chinese-made front air-struts.
Pleased 'enough' with them that I'll be ordering their mates for the rear pair next week.
'Belt & Braces".. the MaxPeeDingRods coil-overs for all four corners will stay in their box for 'emergency' use - in case an air strut has a catastrophic fail, not just a slow leak.
I find I can change ONE corner in about 30 minutes by using two trolley jacks and a scissors jack in team-concert to control suspension component positioning.
Hopefully, the XJ8-L will behave this month ......so I can make a run at putting the Range Rover back to rights!
From what I have experienced most / all? US Jaguar dealers use the same US database for parts. Prices for parts will vary depending on the dealer.
My favorite place ishttps://www.jaguarvirginiabeach.com/. Their prices are competitive and the parts advisors I have worked with know their stuff and will give some discounts on some parts. I wish I could remember the name of the fellow there I worked with. Have at it.
I, too, have found an unbelievable difference in both service & prices quoted. I have to send a shoutout to Harper in Knoxville. As soon as I get out of this wild flock of guinea feathers in which I currently find myself, I plan to proclaim their virtues loudly.

The parts house? Or the Guinea fowl?
Good job we kept Guinea Fowl. Damned good security alarm system as well as good eatin'.
Funny you did. I have fond memories from my childhood of visiting a plantation owned by my Mom's family since the 17th Century. In my youth it was owned by a cousin; it is now owned by the National Trust & is quite popular with the public. I remember vividly what great watch dogs the fowl were, especially at night. My cousin, who still holds some sort of rights with the place, tells me that the guinea fowl are a big hit. He is surprised how many folks have never seen one.
But I must leave lest I go off topic and get in trouble with the wise heads running this delightful place!
