Does anyone have any experience with them? They seem to carry a huge amount of Jaguar parts....

I order from them from time to time. I just ordered 8 new ignition coils from them which should be here this weekend. As with most companies, they sell a wide array of parts from cheap to not so cheap. Just be sure of what you are buying. Some things I will buy from them, while others (usually more sensitive parts like sensors) I’ll always go OEM as aftermarket don’t always perform the same.

On a previous vehicle I owned, I had a new hydraulic tensioner on a timing belt go kaput right after I bought it from them and installed it. Bought an OEM part and no problems after that. Again, just be sure of what you are buting, but they do have some decent deals. They have shipped quick for me, too.

I use them all the time for Japanese and American cars. For those cars, the selection and prices are excellent. However, in my experience, their prices and selection aren't nearly as good for European vehicles. Also, if you're buying several parts and they ship from multiple warehouses, shipping gets expensive really fast.

I have ordered from them quite a bit and they have always been good. Factor in the shipping costs before ordering. Autohausaz has been my go to online parts place for my XJ8.

Most of my parts I order from them. Their prices are good too. I don't like being ripped off by ste@lership prices.

I have used them and am satisfied with the prices. Try to bundle parts so that mailing does not creep up. Avoid the cheapest parts if there is a choice.
AutohausAz is also good. Good quality stuff.
I have recently discovered that Advance Auto Parts sells Jaguar OEM parts at reasonable prices. Fast shipping too (not available at stores).

I use RockAuto constantly and have been for many years (before they were well known.) I literally just ordered a bunch of parts for my XJ8 this morning including a MAP sensor and several gaskets.

Their catalog is extremely useful in comparing parts between the XJ8 , S-Type and the Lincoln LS. You can often save a ton of money by purchasing Ford / Motorcraft brand parts for the Lincoln LS in place of Jaguar OEM.

Been my experiences as well, the shipping from different places is the biggest issue with them for me. Look around at other vendors for prices as well, B4 ordering any parts, as often they are not the best deal around. Ordering their best parts as well is a good idea.
