Thank you all very much for the excellent leads. Looks to me that i really should have taken matters into my own hands sooner. I'm grateful to you all and will keep you posted on the progress. Kind regards, Dominic.

Hi, My name is Dominic, and we live in Dorset. Delighted to have discovered the Owners Club - simply could not get to "post" any detail at all until now. My Jaguar ownership history sadly is not large - I have owned 78 different cars over the years, including a variety of MGB GT's, what has always been rare - a Triumph TR5 (2500i) 1969 Surrey top , an SP2 Brazilian "Porsche" (by VW) and a 289 cu inch Mustang convertible 1967. Having sold my E- Type 4.2, 1968 Mk 1 1/2 fixed head coupe many years ago, for the paltry sum of £1k (indicates possibly, just how long ago - to an Australian - I trust it is still revered down under. My current delight is an S - Type SE Auto- December 2003. 60k miles, 2 owners and serviced by Jaguar, every 3k miles since new. The decision to buy, if one was needed, after the detail of the car was of course the colour: Seafrost, particularly complimentary and attractive to the shape, in my view. I wonder if members might be able to help me with one problem. My garage tells me that the a/c despite intensive and comprehensive work by them now requires a "heat blender motor" - which astonishingly is unavailable in the UK. They have place an order on the Global Parts Jaguar List yet 5 weeks later, I remian denied the benefit of aircon !! Would Members recommend I seek an alternative source........or indeed know of a reliable "original part" supply source. I would be extremely grateful for guidance on this very vexing issue. Thank you, Dominic
