1989 and 1986 Parts Interchangeability
Hello, all.
I was wondering how interchangeable the parts between a 1986 and a 1989 Jaguar XJS are. I am asking because I am thinking about trying to pick up another Jag(an 1986) and combining them into a wonderful mix of both. It seems to have a lot of the parts mine lacks, so I think I could make more than a whole one out of the two

- The front seats are different and the seat runners are not the same width apart
- The aircon is more modern in the 1989 being the Mark III Delanaire and the 1986 is the Mark II. The two systems are not interchangeable;
- The column stalks are different as is the windscreen wiper mechanism

The ignition may be different, the 1986 will be Lucas, but the 1989 may or may not be Marelli.

I would probably have to use the 86 as a base, seeing how bad the floor pan is in my 89. The rest would be comparing to see what is in better condition and swapping.
Would the 89 gas tank fit the 86?

Thanks! That helps a lot. The AirCon in the 1986 would probably be in better shape than my 89. The body and suspension were my main worries.

Outside the cabin from the firewall forward, the systems are identical.
