best place to buy a window regulator

I am doing a few repairs to our 2000 XK8 convertible. We don't use it much and just hit around 50k miles. I am finally fixing the rear window regulator and followed the instructions I found on this site and just got it out of the car.
It seems a shame to replace the whole piece as it is just the cable that looks bad but being a 2000 I know there was a problem with the regulator flexing causing the cable to screw up plus I can't find any repair kits with just the cable.
So... any suggestions on the best place to get a new regulator?

Jaguar parts pricing is very bizarre.
The market for these parts is very small and the cars are out of production. When Jaguar runs out of stockpiled inventory or changes a supplier on parts which are out of production, they probably need to seek out vendors to make very small quantities. Ths drives the price way up on some parts. For others, they simply become unavailable.
Many of us have used this dealer and he has a good reputation.

This discussion is regarding the rear quarter window regulator for the XK8 convertible and coupe (not the X-type or S-type). Do your parts apply to this model?
