That is NOT a direct fit and requires butchery.

Up until recently, I could still get the real thing.

New parts for my XJS are popping up all the time now, even if some are aftermarket.

Some is better than none, in the end.

Cheers,

Yes that's true . I hear a lot of dealers are starting to not take in vehicles older than 10 yrs old . Like mentioned earlier in this thread most guys in dealers right now have very little experience with the older models . Parts availability makes for a lot of wasted time also . If you spend 2 hrs of diag time and then can't get the part how do you in good faith ask that customer to pay for that time . My boss will not let me sell them my used parts , understandably .

For what it's worth I put an LR3 blower motor in my 96 DI. Only had to swap the squirrel cage , plug was an exact fit.

Was there any difficulty pulling off the squirrel cage?
