Default recommended parts dealers?

I have just started working on my Jag and am in need of somewhere reliable to obtain parts. I have looked trough the vendors list on the forum and checked out their websites. I was wondering if anyone would make recommendations, good or bad, on any particular parts dealer. This is not quite the same as working on a Chevy or Ford.

I am a long way from you, but I have used "XK Unlimited in San Louis Obispo", for many, many years without issue.

This started back in the very early days of the internet, and phone calls were the communication mode.

I recently used Coventry West for S type bits, that I collected in Las Vegas when I got there, all sweet.

The good ones seem to outnumber bad ones.

I've had good luck with Coventry West, SNG Barrat, Pauls Jaguar, Motorcars Ltd., Welsh Jaguar.

Cheers

I live in Charleston, SC. I own a 93 XJS coupe. You need to join the British Car Club of Charleston. We will assist you in finding vendors and loads of helpful Jag owner's information tidbits. Go to the website. Charlestonbritishcarclub.com . I am the Secretary of the club. Cheers, Mert

MHF25... I am certainly interested in joining the club. The car is in great shape, however I do need to sort out a couple of items before I'm able to drive the car very far. The engine is running slightly hot, according to the gauge (above the N and erratic). I plan on going thru the cooling system completely. I purchased an IR thermometer today and that should get me started in the right direction. I'll probably go to 180 deg thermostats. I also know I need to replace the heater valve. I'll be checking in with you soon as I get this stuff working properly.
Thanks...Jimmy
