Default APA/URO : Jag's Current OEM Supplier?

Thank you!

They may well be the current supplier for certain specific parts, yes. Jaguar likely has dozens of suppliers...maybe hundreds.

Cheers

A supplier on Ebay has a pair of these URO ignition coils (Marelli type, new) for around $50 ea. Just wondering if I should jump on it...

My sole experience with URO parts is rubber radiator mounts ($1.39 each) for my XJR. They're fine....but that not much experience to go on.

Google "URO" parts and see what comes up. If they are good you might not see anything. If they are really bad, you'll always something :-)

I just purchased a pair of hood strut cylinders for my '88 XJS, from URO dealer on Ebay for $32 a pair. Haven't installed yet.
