Found this over on the XF/XFR forum but Euro-Amp has finally released the rear water manifold in metal. Fit's 5.0L engines both SC and NA.

EBay listing.
Metal Rear Water Manifold

Euro-Amp also carries it themselves for a little less.

I just placed my order.

Great find! I was starting to give up any hope that they would make this part! So glad I haven't done the big cooling system project on my V8 yet.

 

Dang it. I just replaced mine last month because I had a leak. Great find though and glad this is finally available.

 

Thanks for bird-******* and giving the good news - it'll be very helpful for those that have yet to refresh the cooling system, and for those of us that already have it gives us peace of mind for when we do it again about 10 years after the last refresh.
I noticed the ebay listing is also from Euro Amp, but as you pointed out it's a little more than their website listing. It looks like shipping is included from either, but they have to pay ebay being on the marketplace.
Thanks again for spreading the good news to the XJ forum.
I subsequently posted on the relative Range Rover forum that I also frequent, so you are to be credited for that too.

 

Just a quick update. Aliexpress is now selling this for under $60. Quality unknown at this point but much cheaper.
This was posted on another Jaguar forum.
Too late for me as I have ordered from Euro-Amp already. So we have multiple suppliers for this which is good!

Club,

Have you got a link to the Aliexpress part? I had a quick look on their site and couldn't find it.

TIA
