Genuine Brake Accumulator JLM1907
My Brake/ABS warning lamps have been coming on more and more often. Just this last week I've even been getting the red Brake warning lamp illuminating when driving. Not good! Also, its a bit annoying having to "reset" the ABS warning light by cycling the ignition after the accumulator charges up every morning.
I've been searching around and after looking at our trusty Jaguar parts suppliers, eBay, and a few other sites, I've stuck to good old Jaguar Classic Parts. It appears that they have the best price for the OE Jaguar units. I was thinking about going with ACDelco, but wasn't quite sure about their exact performance differences.
Jaguar Classic Parts listed the accumulator as £234.74, but I'm assuming that's including VAT, because the price dropped to £194 ($239) after entering my shipping address. DHL International Shipping is £18.19 ($22), which brings the total to £213.81, or $265. I don't think that's unreasonable for a genuine Jag part.
Most of the AC Delco units now are selling for more than that, ($280-300) and Jaguar OE units are selling for almost twice that ($400-525) from some vendors. With the current conversion rate, this is the time to stock up on these and other parts from Jaguar Classic Parts.

Luckily I have a spare, so no need.

We’ll see how it goes. I’d imagine parts at JCP move a bit faster than the local dealer or regional warehouse, so I’m hoping it’s not too old.
I like the price of the AC Delco, but I like knowing the Jag part is exactly the right spec, and not a compromise. Nitrogen charge pressure and accumulator volume will be exactly the same as original which makes me feel good and reassured. It might sound silly, and I’m no purist, but that’s just how I feel about the brake boost system.
The original lasted 28 years under daily use; If I can get even 5 years out of the new one I think I’ll be happy.

So the new accumulator is in! Easy peasy after breaking the old one free. My Jag guy told me to support the bottom of the assembly to prevent damage to the rubber mountings, and that it’ll be on tight. He was right! He also said that sometimes they have to put the whole assembly in a vise, which luckily didn’t have to do.
Here’s what $236 gets you from JCP:
Works like a charm!

I think the accumulators I used on our '93 XJ40 were made by Ate (Alfred Teves company), but there are many accounts on the forums of late XJ40 owners using the AC Delco part 25528382. This is a different part number from the one in Larry's link; perhaps the old part number was superseded?
Larry, can you illuminate us?
Cheers,
Don

See the second post from the top in the thread at the link below. Bryan N owned an XJ40 for many years and knows his stuff, so I consider this gospel:

AC Delco 25528382 should work, if you can find one. I just searched it at gmpartsgiant.com and it comes up as discontinued and no longer available.
If I recall correctly, this accumulator was used on the Buick Reatta and possibly other GM models, so that may be another way to find one.
Cheers,
Don

I do wonder if this is the same part.
https://www.autohausaz.com/pn/343311...SABEgK4TvD_BwE

The part fitment filter at Autohausaz says that accumulator won't fit a '93 or '94 XJ6, but that doesn't necessarily mean it won't. However, in all the years I've been messing with XJ40s I don't remember anyone finding an accumulator that fits a BMW that also fits a Jaguar. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it just means the catalogs and other reference materials are unhelpful.
With some research, it might be possible to discover the mounting thread and pressure capacity of that Ate accumulator. The price is definitely better than what many sellers want for the ones known to fit Jags. Somewhere in the forums I seem to recall someone having measured the thread of the XJ40 accumulator, and I seem to recall the pressure capacity was somewhere in the range of 1,250-1,450 psi. I think the rating is given in bar in the power hydraulic system manual.
Cheers,
Don
