Confirmed Crossed Referenced Ford Parts that work with our Jaguars FAQ
#41
The catalytic converters on my '02 V6 S-type are stamped with the Ford logo. I was getting some codes and thought I would need to replace them. So I called one vendor and they assured me the Ford LS cats fit without modification.
I did not actually end up replacing them (yet). So I cannot confirm this, but since the ones on the car have the Ford logo (and some part numbers on them too) I am pretty certain the LS cat will work.

...Why dont you simply get the Magnaflow Spun Cats for your S type, much cheaper and a lot better in performance. My OEM cats were screwed, so I just put some Magnaflow Spun cats on, and did a complete exhaust mod, runs like a roaring monster, but in your case, you better off replacing the OEm cats with Magnaflows.
Since the vehicle has 130k on it, I kind of expect the cats to need replacing before too long. But since I am no longer getting the codes, I'm not going to spend the money.
Using the Lucas Fuel treatment and 87 octane fuel is a lot cheaper than 91 octane and I get no codes. So I'm good.

I'm not changing them because since I started running Lucas gas Additive with 87 octane gas about 8 months ago I have not had any more codes thrown.

Your welcome....Just a little hint...Put that in the thread you started about it...
And, did it help? Is it fixed? What was the fix?
All these answers help these threads become logical solutions to other users problems.. A great many times threads just die off with no real conclusion.... Or they drift way off topic...

Finally found the thread. Should be a sticky. Anyways, i had a tie rod go bad on my 04 v6 stype. Apparently jaguar does not sell the inner tie rod so i was told i had to replace the whole rack and pinion unit. Instead used the inner tie rod for a 04 lincoln ls v6 and it fit perfect. Don't have a jag part number (cuz there isn't one?) but the motorcraft part # is MEOE21. I also found out that British Parts aka motorcarsltd has the inner tie rod for the stype but i went with the ford one cuz i needed it right away. Sticky this thread and let's find more substitutions

Mercon SP/Lifeguard 6/Shell 1375.4
For those looking at changing the transmission fluid in a ZFhp26 automatic transmission, found on Jaguars, Aston Martins, Bentleys, BMWs, Maseratis, and Lincolns, I have a small supply in the UK of Mercon SP, Ford's USA branded Lifeguard 6, sold for Lincoln Navigators. Importing wasn't easy or cheap but the cost is still considerably less than Lifeguard 6 or Jaguar's or Aston Martin's branded Lifeguard 6. I have enought extra for 2 complete ATF changes. Hope helpful.

After servicing my 6HP26 with six litres my transmission now has no leaks, no lurch and no 1/2 short shift. It now shifts the way it should.
