Some of you may remember a while back I was looking for some sills for my XJS. Jaguar had quoted me £168 each for a genuine part and I could not find any supplier of a pattern part.
I wrote a letter to Jaguar Enthusiast Magazine (Vol 21 No3 p72) to highlight this and had a response from Brian North of Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust.
Brian explained that there is a sill available with part number JHP 1627 (os) 1628 (ns) which is the outer sill skin - for just £66
I bought one of these today and its absolutely great - Exactly what I wanted.
The parts person in my local Jag dealers whom I know quite well said that these parts are not well advertised as Jag likes to sell the expensive version of the sill.
JAGUAR RIPOFF !!!!!
