New to forum - Need help
Hello.....I'm new to the Jaquar Forum. My father picked up a 2004 Jaguar S-type (4.2L) for me from an auction site as a way of thanking me for helping him through his battle with esophageal cancer. In 2019 ....while quite weak from chemo and radiation treatments.....unknowingly to me...my father drove 200 miles each way to pick it up. The whole thing was a total surprise. My father was quite proud of this find. However, looks were deceiving. The car was pretty neglected over the years. I'm not a mechanic by any means and funds are very limited....but have slowly been working through each issue. I've had the car for a little over three years and have only been able to drive it maybe 20 times for quick little joy rides before something else went wrong with it. Many times, I wanted to just throw in the towel and send the car off to its final resting place. But knowing what my father went through to surprise me with it, my heart just wouldn't let me do it. Sadly, my father lost his battle with cancer in September, 2022. But something keeps pushing me to try to get the car up and running reliably as a way of honoring him. Perhaps its the don't give up attitude my father had up until he passed at 90 years old. So for very sentimental reasons, I want to give it one last try. My hope is to get the parts I need from a salvage yard. I've called every salvage yard I can think of within a 75 mile radius.....and none of them have a 2004 Jaguar S-Type to pick from.
Can anyone tell me if the parts that I need have to come from that exact make/model/year? Or would a different year or maybe even an x-type be helpful? The parts that I need for now are the two vacuum hoses shown in the attached picture and a retainer clip for the hose that attaches to the bottom of the coolant reservoir tank.
Thanx for your time and advice!

From one S-type owner to another... Welcome. The S-type forum is populated with a very friendly group and contains a wealth of knowledge.
I would suggest posting your inquiry in the "tech forum" for your model. Graham gave you the link above. We have several members with V-8 S-types who may be able to help you.

Those clips are like hens teeth and have a habit of disappearing into a black hole if you are not careful.
