Heyyyyyyy Great news - Jaguar have actually delivered the coolant expansion tank for my 1999 S-type to my Jag garage. Seems like a good time to ask for those hard-to-get Jaguar parts. Thank you to Mr Mike and all the other advisors about how to source these parts.

Thank you Jim

Thank you MIKE

Thank you Mike for taking the time to comment. My local Jag garage probably consider this job small and unimportant - they always seem very very busy when I try to talk to them. They did buy the LH drive tank (wrong one) and seeeeeem (?) to behave as though they have done enough. On VIN numbers.... I have found SAJAD02E8YFL45594 which is described as the chasis number on a service bill. Is this the VIN number do you think ? It is also shown on the nearside door pillar and on the dashboard showing through the windscreen. If it is how do I use it to track down the right coolant tank. Thanks again for your time.

My local jag garage ordered a tank from the Spanish breakers but unfortunately when it arrived it was for a Left Hand Drive car. I have looked around the internet and at first glance there appears to be quite a few coolant header tanks but they are all of slightly different designs. They all say S-type jag parts but when you dig down the details don't fit. My car is 1999 and the advertised tanks all start at 2005......

Same here, nice car looks good in my garage but it can't go on the road for more than a few miles before it starts boiling and ejecting coolant due to the lack of pressurization in the header tank 🙄

Peter, I have been looking for this coolant expansion tank for ages. My Jag garage says they can't find one. Did you have any luck ?
