Anyone know the Jag thermostat nr to fit V8 Vantage ?

Part number and much more info on parts is all in the FAQ thread.

Many thanks !

Parking sensors are the same as Ford Focus and various Jags and Land Rovers. Same part code front and rear, although for the rear ones, the code is for the sensors that plug into the metal bracket, rather than the one stuck to the back of the bumper with double sided sticky tape.

1X43-15K859-AC Is the part code - cheap as chips on eBay unless you buy the one for an Aston Martin !

IIRC there are two different types at the rear. I bought one second hand for £12 from a Jag specialist.

Are there any update on this thread? I was sort of expecting more Ford/Volvo parts.

I have the infamous DSC/Traction control Temporay off message and wanted to replace the faulty brake pressure sensor (on mastercylinder).

AML price was £76.

Got a new part with exactly the same markings from a Chinese supplier on Ebay for $11. The part looks identical in every respect so obviously made by the same manufacturer!

Turns out that it is not that part that was faulty so now investigating further with Foxwell NT530 tool to identify the failure.

I hope you’re joking.

DB9 Brake Reservoir is identical to the 2004-2007 Jag XJ8, includes the Master Cylinder so that is likely the same as well.

Hi Phil

The DSC/Traction fault on my old V8V was a duff Yaw sensor (bit of a fiddly job as its sits deep under the dash on the transmission tunnel I believe) ... I think its the same part as a Jag S type?

Can we close this thread now please and ensure that any more useful updates go on to the sticky at the top of the threads list.

That should stop anything being missed.

V8V squeaking steering wheel. The air bag squib is a jag part.
