Jaguar spare parts in the UAE

Jaguar supply runs from 12 in Sharjah through 5 in Dubai down to 1 in Umm Al Quwain — a gap of 11 listings across 6 emirates.

Column three is the salvage route: 6 of the 28 are used-parts yards — Sharjah 4, Dubai 1, Umm Al Quwain 1. A used F-Pace panel is cheap; a used Jaguar gearbox needs a written warranty.

Some Jaguar parts are not Jaguar parts. The F-Pace / XE / XF (X260) shares the D7a aluminium platform underneath, plus the AJ126 3.0 supercharged V6 and the ZF 8HP eight-speed automatic with the Land Rover / Range Rover Velar.

Ask for the Jaguar number and the Land Rover / Range Rover number together — the same box, two prices.

Jaguar files its cars under X-numbers, and these are the ones we could source. The F-Pace is the X761, in production from February 2016. The XE is the X760, from April 2015. The F-Type is the X152, which went into production in December 2012. The XF is the X250 from November 2007 and the X260 from 2015, and a change of number there is a change of car.

That is a list and not a table, on purpose. A fitment table needs one year column that means the same thing on every row, and the pages we read do not give us one. The XE and the X260 XF have a production start but a model year only for North America or none at all, while the F-Type has a December 2012 production start and a 2013 first model year. Put those in one column and some rows would say one thing and some another, and a wrong year is the one failure a parts page cannot take back.

The chassis number on the plate settles it. Send that to a Jaguar counter rather than a model year and the build, engine included, is read off the car instead of guessed from a listing.

The F-Pace is the plain example. Under the single code X761 sit the Ingenium four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines, the AJ126 3.0 supercharged V6 and the AJ133 5.0 V8, and a part priced against the word F-Pace can belong to any of them. The XE and the X260 XF repeat the pattern on a smaller scale.

The Velar link is the second thing worth asking about. The V6 and the gearbox are shared with it, so one component can sit in the system under a Jaguar number and a Land Rover one at different prices. Ask which badge the number was read from, and compare like for like.

No Jaguar figure is printed here. We found no UAE seller that pairs a dated price with its own name for these parts, and a rounded range would be an invention.
