Jim, I just went to the Jaguar dealership in Manhattan to order that coupler, like what you found, only for later X350 has this coupler sold alone
I hope (crossing finger) it fit my X308 as they visually look identical but in jaguar's term. it is not always the case.
side story. the dealer is under new ownership. very bad management , one person does not know another person does there at all and pointing me all around thou the part guy is cool.

I just found another coupler from ebay and the donor car is from the exact MY2000, I hope the nightmare is over
it is fxxking stupid that Jaguar does not sell the coupler alone for our X308 for force people to purchase entire column shaft for a lot of money.
as my fellow members owning the same car, I think my frustration is realistic.
people here saying X308 is a relative a reliable built car, I respect their opinion based on their own experience. but 100% definitely not my case.
everything should break down over the years, happened. for those should not happen, they all are broken down.
I can not think of one part of the car that I did not need to fix
