along the way to diagnosing my bad alternator, a couple months ago, they broke one of the clips that hold the right side dash panel (fuse panel access) closed. jaguar dealer says the clips are discontinued. some of these parts are not illustrated in his computer but he says the part # is JEP113005.

any suggestions where i can obtain these? one clip doesn't hold the panel closed.

Had a similar problem with the panel dropping on my legs while driving even though it had 4 clips. I started off putting shims under the clips to try to make it fit better. It helped but still failed intermintantly. What seems to work best is not tightening the screw that holds the clip. This allows the clips to float and set better on the bars.
I have not been able to find any clips either. The best bet may be to get the whole panel with the clips from a car being parted out.

steve. i only need one. there seem to be 2 types, though. the wrong one looks like a 5 when you look at it from the side. a guy that works for me described the correct one as looking like the profile view of a whistle, the flat part is flattened out more, and the look is more closed.(works with a small diameter on the stationary end)

i know i should have your email address to paypal, but i am not finding it.
thanks, andy

Andy & Steve- I have the same problem with my 1990 XJS, so anybody who has an extra clip or two, please let me know and I will pay handsomely for them. -Gary

steve, if you have them, i will take them. just let me know what you want, add fedex shipping and i will paypal, or whatever you want.

having the dash drop down when you drive the car is really annoying.

if i broke it, i would have the pieces, but i don't

thanks,
have a great holiday
