RE: X-Type platform
Shares around 20% off pars with the Mk3 Mondeo.Some parts however have been reegineered by Jag so even a Ford Engineer wouldnt recognise them eg the single tube shocker have been reenginnered to provide a twin tube design.Brakes same up to 2004, air con same, wiper motors same.Just replaced pollen filter on mine which has Ford stamp onit from Ja dealer but Ford dont recognose it from aUK car so it mightbe from aUS model??

RE: X-Type platform
The only relation between the X and a Taurus/Sable is the engine (3.0L). And even the engines are very different.
The 2.5L is similar to what is used in the Contour/Cougar, but with VVT if I'm not mistaken.
The Taurus and X DO NOT share the same platform. Not in any way, shape, form, or fashion.

Crawl under you car and take a look... There are many parts that have Jaguar stamped into them. Others are clearly marked FORD. The pinion seal in the transfer case, stamped Ford. Ford cannot even look up the part number in their computer.
