Can anyone out there help me find a new lid for my XK140 MC OTS windscreen washer reservoir (bottle)? My old one rusted out, and all the other parts of the assembly are fine. XK's Unlimited have the assemblies for sale ($350+...!), but won't sell me just a lid...

Thanks,
John Wallace

Hey, Brian,

Thanks for the reply! The pump is a vacuum pump, which mounts on top of the lid, outside the bottle (unlike the 150's, which were inside the bottle). The neck of the bottle is 3" dia. across the opening (probably 3-1/8" to 3-1/4" across the outside of the threads), and the lid appears to be approx. 3-1/4" ID.

I'll try to link a picture to this reply.

If you'll email me your address to jwallaceataustin.rr.com, I'll email more pictures of the assembly parts to you.

Hello this is Brian in Toronto.I have been collecting various Jaguar parts for the past 30 years now.I probably have the lid that you want,but
do you know if it is vacuum pump or electrical pump type?The better the
description the easier it will be to get the proper one out of the box.
Please advise.( check the measurements of the top please ).
