Also, just in case someone was wondering the plastic bolt caps that cover the nuts for the tail lights on the inside of boot/trunk can be found cheap as well...

Hope you wont need Mercedes or Infiniti parts! Had 2 Infiniti door cards replaced under warranty recently at a cost of four grand not including labor and a Mercedes arm rest was several hundred.

You can get the O-ring on the oil drain plug separately.
I used to give the drain plug back and ask for this o-ring when vehicles came in for service, and yes its ridiculous what they charge for some things...... but this is nature in the world of branding.
It's no difference in buying a smart phone for $1,000 when you can buy one for $200 that does the exact same thing....

(I had your thought on my STR about 8 years ago. Bought ONE plug and on removing the existing one figured both it and the new one were fine. Didn't buy any more drain plugs.)

Had a closer look at the oil plug and as you say it's just an O-ring! I thought the OEM plug had the rubber seal vulked/pressed on the bolt!?:-)
Well, you live and learn!:-D
It's even more ridiculous of Jaguar to have the customer pay for a whole new bolt when they could just replace the seal!
