If anyone has a parts car or know of a 1993 - 1994 car in a local you-pull-it junk yard, I am in need of a door latch assembly for the drivers (or left) front door. It is not the handle that I need but rather the part in the back end of the door that engages with the striker post on the B-pillar that holds the door closed.
The latch on my 1994 XJ6 has become too worn to properly hold the door closed. I have tried calling various wrecking yards and all they want to do is sell me whole door.
I could also use the same latch assembly from the passengers side (right side) rear door as well.
Anyone able to help out a fellow XJ40 enthusiast too help get my daily driver back on the road?
There is also Jaguar Heaven in Stockton, California who have a huge inventory of parted out Jaguars, newer and older. Google them for contact info. And I encourage everyone to update their avatar with their location as it helps in answering posts, not to mention it is interesting (at least for me) to see where everyone is from.
I just called a well known Jaguar and exotic car repair place in Cleveland Ohio and I was quoted $200 - $300 for the latch assembly. I told them “thanks but no thanks”
Yes, tell him gtjoey told you to call………they are in the second building, you can have a field day, plus he has the uprated handles with the stronger springs from years ago.
Good luck!
