It turned out to be the Fan spindle was goosed !!
JAGUAR X300/330 FAN UNIT REPLACEMENT
I had been getting a vibration noise from the engine and it turned out the spindle in the top
fan had worked its way loose so the fan was shaking.
I spoke to a parts company and the told me £383.00 ++ for a new one
How many do they sell at that price?
I went on ebay and got one for £15.00 incl postage![Icon Teeth](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_teeth.gif)

Thanks for the write-up ... no doubt someone will need this one day (probably me
).
BTW, for those who don't know what Hammerite is (like me), it's rust treatment/prevention.
Nice snag on the extremely discounted price! Another option I investigate, for things like replacement motors, is an industrial supply house. Here in the US, Grainger is very popular - bring the motor in and they'll match it.
