I have a 97, I would buy the high pressure as the new style route better and rebuild low pressure, there are some guys that have done the low side repairs themselves if you don't want to replace. I was lucky to find new in the box parts from a guy for cheap that sold prior to repairing for cheap and change both of mine. Let me know if you need any hints. Hardest part for me was r&r at pump of low pressure.

To clarify what I found hard was the reservoir to pump hose, after 20 years it was so hard that it would not pull off after removing clamp. I had to reach in there and cut it off and that was a real bear, was same at reservoir. After all new hoses not a drop of oil, however I would suggest keeping an eye on quick connect.

Perfect fit. Worked great!
The side marker bulb socket from a 2010 Ford F-250 is an exact replacement for those in my 2003 XK8.

Had problems finding replacement wiper blades for my 2003 XK8 that my OEM airfoils could attach to, so I decided to simply replace the inserts (the only wear part). I found perfect fit inserts at O'Reilly's Auto Parts (here in the U.S.).

Just found this thread Today. Great idea.
However I got lost somehow. I'm looking for a continuation of the springs and shocks question.
I'm looking for rear springs for my 2004 Coupe (non-adaptive). Does anyone know of any Ford Interchange possibilities? I know Ford loves to use the same parts across the board as possible.
Seems I can only buy either OEM springs (very pricey) or "lowering" springs (which I don't want either) here in the States. I have replaced the front springs with an after market pair that I bought from a parts store in the UK. Now the Coupe looks like it's trying to do a "wheely".
Let me know if you have any ideas.
