XK8/XKR - Non-OEM interchangable Parts Thread
#61
Here is replacement microswitch for the "Door Closed" function - when your car thinks a door is open when it ain't, and the window doesn't go up all the way when you close it. The key element is that the mounting holes line up perfectly. Sealed. 3 amps. They cost less than $10 each.

I read in a few places on the forums that SU7012 can be used in lieu of the much more costly SU7015 my '99 XK8 calls for. $30 vs $105.
Rolled the dice and bought 2 of them and can confirm they seem to work properly. Torqued them down properly (can't remember the spec) and have driven the car a dozen or so times since installing and haven't seen any knock sensor codes since then. Try at your own risk, but working for me so far.

MAF Sensor - 2000 XK8
Just replaced the Denso MAF sensor in my 2000 XK8 with a new one. OEM part number was LNE1620CA which is no longer recognized on the Denso site. Replacement number is DMA0114; $ 117 from PartsGeek. I believe the same sensor fits a number of different Jaguar models, and is also a replacement for a number of Mazda and Subaru models.

Possible Interchangeable parts
I was talking to a retired Lincoln/ Mercury technician today and he stated:
"Yea, there's a lot of parts that went on the XX8 from Lincoln Mark VII and VIII's".
For example "the whole Interior steering column including the steering wheel just the air bag pad has a Lincoln logo instead of a Jaguar". He further stated that he thought the door mounted seat adjusting switch in the aluminum body XK came from Lincoln.
I have never been in a Lincoln Mark VII or VIII so I don't know but I could sure use a Reach Motor, for my XK8, that doesn't cost so much (my car eats them annually).
?- Has anyone here heard this also.
?- If so, what other parts are interchangeable.
?- If so, is there some kind of "cross reference"
Let me know what you think.

XK8/ R Interchange
Sorry, I just don't know.
I'm hoping the electronics for the steering column will interchange because I need another Tilt motor.
I found a Mark VIII LSC on ebay and in the photos the steering wheel does look shaped the same and the Multi-function switches "looked similar" but I wouldn't trust them until a in-person inspection for a better look. Also, the 4way flasher switch is on top of the steering column in the Lincoln where the one in my Jaguar switch is on the instrument panel.
I guess the only way for now is to find a Lincoln (someone you know or at a wrecking yard) and "match up" your part with the one in the Lincoln.
Does anyone out there know a Lincoln dealer Parts counter person????
Good Luck!

NON-OEM waterpump for 1999 XK8
I replaced, without any problems whatsoever, the water pump on my 70,000 mile 1999 XK8. I used a Gates from www.partsgeek.com with their part number: 641-09063366. $50.98 plus shipping

Has anyone used Jaguar Land Rover Reno parts for a parts source? They offer a 20% discount which seems to be an improvement over the local dealer.
Is there another Genuine parts source that you would recommend? Used parts? Tom
I need the small air deflector (lowest one that gets knocked off on the parking lot curbs) under the front bumper and the left front access cover (to the headlight area) in the fender liner

Gates W/P had metal impeller blades
When I removed the old one I found part of the old plastic thermo housing jammed in the water pump blades and that was probably what ended up causing it to leak. The mechanic who replaced the plastic thermo with the new aluminum one must had broken the old housing in order to remove it as I've seen others here say they've done it. Odd that it took several months to do its damage and didn't cause any overheating in the mean time.

Water Pump- additional info.
Thanks for the info.
Using the last eight numbers of your water pump I found that, that pump also fits, 4.2L Jag V8s AND the 2004 Thunderbird V8 (3.9L). According to partsgeek.
Just proves Ford "shared" parts across a lot of models.
Wish there was a way to see what other parts were "shared" so that they could be bought locally.
Thanks again!

Oil Drain Plug for 4.0L engine
In changing oil in my 1999 XK8 coupe, I looked for a new oil drain plug gasket. Advance Auto Parts had a complete oil drain plug with new gasket in stock on their Needa Part rack: #653116. The new plug is M14 - 1.50 and is an exact fit for my engine. I imagine it will fit all 4.0 L engines and 4.2 oil pans also.
$3.50 + tax

Replacement side marker light socket - XK8 and others
I found a direct and identical replacement socket for a badly corroded and non-repairable rear side marker light. My usual sources didn't have this part listed so I looked on eBay taking a chance that it was a Ford part.....BINGO.
It's Ford part number is F8RZ13K371AA and it's identical in every way with what came out of my 1999 XK8 in every way. The one on the left is from my car and the other 2 are from one of the eBay sellers. $10.24 shipped

Upper radiator hose
Replaced my upper radiator hose (radiator to thermostat housing) with an exact fit by REIM (made in Turkey) purchased from Advanced Auto. The part number is CHR0129R, $15.99 less 20% if you order on line.
I also learned that they have more parts for the XK8 than they list on line. If you go in person and get the counter guy to pull them up he can find a lot.
