Part rant, part question

What is happening with XK parts, seems impossible to get hold of things from Jaguar, out of stock and no delivery date with few aftermarket options. I knew the car would need some investment but never thought I would be off the road due to part availability.

I need a cooling fan for a 2010 XKR. C2D38737. Has anyone risked the Chinese alternatives from Aliexpress. Or does anyone in the UK have one with some known provenance while I wait for JLR.

Cheers

 

Have you tried this place? https://www.jaguarparts.com/oem-part...embly-c2d38737

 

Thanks, but I need it in the UK or at least shippable. I have even trying to source one in Germany, where we have offices.

Had a similar problem when I had to get a headlight earlier this year. Rumour I heard a few times is JLR will not replace a lot of the out of stock parts now.

 

Ah, I had a similar issues trying to source a headliner in the U.S. Not going to lie it did make me question on whether or not I want to keep the car.

 

Have you tried Mahle Behr (OE) or Eurospare (OEM) in the UK?
