The PO aparently drove over a concrete parking bumper and ripped out the plastic undertray and the small plastic panel between the right wheel and washer bottle. I bought the parts but have no frame of reference for reinstallation. I want to see how the middle of the undertray (by the oil pan) is secured. There is another plastic piece that has a hex nut in it near the oil pan and I dont know if the undertray goes over or under that plastic piece (it also looks a little strange and I want to see if it's in need of replacement, too). A photo would REALLY help

 

I'll try and remember.

 

Sweet - I'd be much abliged!

 

Not one XJ was in the shop today. We'll see tomorrow.

 

Thanks for remembering! If nothing comes in tomorrow, I will be over at Crown on Wed. Hopefully, one will be up on the lift while I'm there...

 

I found what I needed. The center part of the undertray (by the oil pan) is secured by a black zip tie. (Imagine... a car that costs this much new and it's put together with zip ties. Oy!)

Sum tolled for the POovershooting the concrete parking bumper: undertray, right front wheel well liner, brake cooling duct, brake cooling duct "hat", and various little packets of connectors for $500 (parts only). Wow,no wonder hedidnt replace these things after he ripped them out on the parking bumper! However, with all the components these pieces protect, it's cheaper to replace thesethings than fix a hole or break in something else up under there...

 

Expensive repair.

 

No argument there! The good folks at Jaguar of Tampa tell me this isVERY common.People drive over the parking bumpers and when they go to leave, the corner of the concrete bumper (or sometimesthe rebar anchor is sticking up) and catches the undertray. As you back up, so rips out the plastic undertray! In my case, the PO didnt bother to replace it,so the brake cooling duct eventually fell off,too [:@].Ah, well, it's all better now
