Yep. There is a company here in Germany specialised on regassing the nitrogen ball but only if the inner membrane is okay. And the parts are all Jaguar originals. The rubber rings between solenoid block ans actuator are ATE classic division (not available anymore) I can get the part number for the other rubber parts later on if you want...

A few days ago I had a weird conversation/offer for my beloved car... As it has stood in the drive way for now nearly 5 years, a neighbor offered to take it off of my hands.
I said 'sure, that' ll be €10k and I keep the engine and transmission'
The neighbour thought I was kidding. He said, take an 0 off and we have a deal. I told him, that my car is special and does not require any kind of underpricing. He said it was a piece of scrap metal and that nobody would ever pay anymore than he would.
Well, I know for a fact, that it is worth a lot more, even with no engine in right now. Here it is around the 15k mark. 5k for an engine is rather normal as well now.
People seem to think a car in the drive is a way to con someone. He offered me EUR 100 for the 15" polished lip lattice rims... I told him to f*ck off and not to bother coming back again.
About 60 seconds later he drove past in an E Type 2+2...
No cheap balling me you *insert curse here*
