Gentlemen, please advise where can I buy Dash Air vent BD38452 and BD38453 for my 1985 XJ v12

thanks in advance

 

the center dash vent? or the side dash vents?
try David at Everyday XJ

if no luck I have several Center and side vents. The center vents are in various states of disrepair. Probably can make one good one. The side vents are good.

 

Jose hi! Thanks for advice. David was super helpful and I found different parts I needed.

unfortunately, still looking for the vents.

i need them non-broken, and the fixed ones don’t work as well.

Does anybody know/have them in good condition?

 

the side vents on each corner of the wood dash fascia?

or the large center vent on the wood daah fascia?

or the vents in the side panels on each side of the front center console?

I have all 3 types. Best to post a picture of rhe location you need.

 

Try this Jag specialist in the Netherlands.
He has them for EUR 20,- each

the one pictured in the dutch seller's link does not appear to have movable louvers?

here's the ones I have, all with movable or adjustable louvers:

 

My Series 2 center vent had stationary center vanes.




In the interest of keeping the original undamaged, I replaced it for one I found in a wrecking yard that had broken center vanes. I removed all the broken parts from the center and made a little box that just holds my camera.

yes Elinor, the S2 had stationary center louvers. I have two of those too.

the little box you made is a great idea.
