S TYPE heater air con panel

Question my air con panel in the car has a part number

4R8318C612FF

i need a replacement

There are plenty on sale on eBay, but the closest in terms of part number is the same but ends EF not FF part looks the same.

is there anyone who knows if the parts can be changed over and run the same?

Thanks

David

I have an 2002 s type r the display on my one stopped working I was quoted £650 for a refurb one when asked why it was so expensive they said because it was a str. I went on eBay got one from a 2005 2.7d for £30 and  fitted it as you said the last 3 dights of the part number were diffrent it is still working 2 years later. The only thing you need be certain of is some cars have heated front windscreen so there are 2 modules one for heated front windscreens an one for cars that dont have heated front windscreen .I presume you are talking the non sat nav model s type.

Hi

As long as the first part is the same it will be ok, the last two letters are usually the version

the higher the letter the newer it is, "A" been older and "F" been newer

some may need programing, if its not from a similar spec car

cheers

THANKS

I have been offered one at a good price which is EF rather than FF

i have access to jaguar diagnostics so may be able to reprogramme it if I have a problem.

Thanks all
