Fuel Rail needs replacing but not available

To all those wise-men that inhabit this forum:

I am told my '06 XK8 has a broken fuel rail (part #AJ811304). I brought her in due to gas smell after start-up. Was quoted $1995 by dealer for the repair, but just got a call that Jaguar no longer offers the parts and they can't find one (Amazing… only an 8-year old car!!!) What do I do? Should I look for a re-furbished one? Where? BTW, I called the new vendor we just got notice of, SNG Barratt, they don't have one. Plan to keep this car for life… mine, not hers. HELP!!!

Gaudin Jaguar are showing it as available:

2009 Jaguar XJ8 Parts - Direct JPLV Porsche Parts.com

That's a frightening price!

Obviously another one of those parts that must be gold-plated or something to demand such a price!

Cheaper to buy a second hand engine!

I have a fuel rail from an 09 XF that came on an intake manifold that I purchased from a salvage yard; its clean and has injectors too if you need them...if its the same part no., I'll give you a good deal on it. Send me a PM if you want to pursue the purchase further.
