View Full Version : Lucas Electronics??

Hello all, I am new to this forum and a new Jaguar owner to boot. I just purchased a 97 XK8 Coup that is beautiful in and out and everything works on it. Has 46K miles on it. I have a question regarding the electronics. It is no secret in the auto world that Lucas electronics have been one of the major drawbacks of Jaguar vehicles over the years. I heard that Ford transitioned from Lucas and began using Ford electronics on their Jaguar line after they purchased the company but I am not sure when that transition occurred. My question is....does my 1997 XK8 Coupe have Lucas electronics in it or is it the Ford electronics? Thanks for any info you can provide.
