Default Source for broken connectors

Has anyone found a source, other than Jaguar, that can supply replacement connectors, especially those in the engine compartment? I bought a 1999 XK8 that has an apparent history of being serviced by "Bubba the Barbarian" as more than half of the engine compartment electrical connectors have been raped and pillaged. Some are held together by nylocks and others by not much more than gravity. Simply, they all need to be replaced. Thank You. Warren C. Warburton 1999 XK8 Coupe

In 2018 I ordered a new pair of VVT solenoid harnesses and electrical connectors from rockauto.com. The actual supplier was Airtex/Wells. They were a perfect fit. The key is being able to correctly cross-reference the OEM part number to the aftermarket part number. There are several members here who are experts at doing just that. Just post whatever connector you are seeking and someone will cross-reference it for you promptly. Good luck....

Thank you. A connector sticky would be a great addition. Whenever we find a replacement and source for a connector we could add it to a sticky.

Ballenger Motorsports has some of the conectors jaguar used. The connectors in general are made by Sumitomo and the electrical system and fuel system used parts from Nippodenso (Denso).

I have used Advance Auto for replacement plugs for my 99 xk8. They have them with or with out pigtails.
