Default twin cooling fan motor rebuild

Does anybody know where I can get motors rebuilt for the cooling fans on the twin fan setup for a 99 xjr. I remember seeing somebody advertising such a service once, but can't find it now. I have two extra motors and need them to have the bearings replaced.

Complete good used fan/ cowl assy for $150, if that helps.

Coventry west rebuilds alot of stuff, Motorcars might do these as well, and there is someplace called Jaguar Services near Chicago that used to do blower motors and such. No idea if any of them are any good, I'm just name-dropping.

If the fan is the twin fan for the x308, I would love to buy one for $150. PM me and give me the details.

On startup the motor whines for a minute or two....like a dry bearing....I have ordered a couple of good used motors, but I may still take a look at the extra motors to rebuild them as spares...I have two cars, and like having extra parts.

We used to call those "raceday spares". Always good to have at a critical moment.

We do a "rebuilt" single unit. It's actually a new unit that we were able to adapt to the original housing. Cost is $197.50. There is a $100 core charge for the old unit. That is refunded once we receive your old unit.

JTO's used one for $150 is very good price for the complete unit.

Thanks Ken, I have to admit I took him up on the offer. I now have four cores. I will spend some time with them to see if I can swap some parts, etc. I appreciate the fact that you guys do a rebuilt unit.
