Just a heads up on the LS part. This was one area that Ford strayed from the Jaguar side a bit.
The early LS (2000-2002) at least the V-8 models used a hydraulically driven engine cooling fan. Current explanation was the LS had a smaller alternator than the S Type and could not handle the added load of the electric fan.
This has been troublesome and for the 2003 and up LS's Ford swapped to the more normal electric fan assembly. And I guess upgraded the alternator at the same time.
You can tell because the engine compartment has what looks like 2 P/S fluid reservoirs.
Don't know if the 2003-2006 LS fan would work or not but I bet it will.

Tbird6 - your 100% right on the LS part. Looks like the 03 & up part won't work.. I sourced a replacement cooling fan motor and relay module assembly out of a sub 70K S Type at a bargain. (Replacement cooling fan motor prices starting at $650 and up from Jaguar parts sites) not happening..

I was finally able to get to addressing this today. Took the fan shroud out. Coolant fan relay assy - good. Upon closer inspection of the electric fan with the shroud off the car half the bearings inside the fan motor were missing.
Put the replacement shroud, fan motor and relay module in and all is good... Clearly the fan was on its way out for a while...

No, I sourced a used fan shroud assembly from a ultra low mileage 2001 S Type w/ 3.0 engine. All part numbers matched up exactly from relay module to fan motor... Not 100% sure if the LS motor would fit but now since I have an empty shroud (after stepping it down) I may see is the bolt dimensions match up..
