My friend (whom until recently drove an 'S Type') mentioned the 'M' word when I asked about the 'X Type Jaguar': that`s 'M' for Mondeo.....he said it`s a Mondeo floorpan; is that correct? ::)
Parts-Bin engineering; I expect all car makers do it but I thought the Jaguar marque was above that kind of thing. ;D

Indeed correct Debs, some parts are Mondeo sourced whilst Jaguar was owned by Ford. Around 20% are Ford parts including some internal switchgear...
Still now that an Indian company have bought or are buying Jag from Ford im sure we can look at the next floorplan being shared by Tata :D
-
...oh and its common practise i.e certain models of SAAB and the Vectra do similar.

I was a Design Engineer on the launch of the X-Type and X-Type estate. The "ford" thing is over done somewhat. There are Ford parts on there, but only to keep costs down where quality wasn't going to be affected. If you've got one of the early cars (the first 12 months of production), they're about as high quality as they get. After that, the cost-down team moved in. There are compromises with any design be it a baby Jag or a £100K Merc. Nothing is perfect and if you can save a few coins by using a Mondeo switch or the Focus Windscreen mechanism, Why not?
The Mondeo floor underbody was forced upon Jag or they wasn't going to allow it to be built in England...it would have been built in Germany!!!

Good Info and Good to know ;)
Figure i heard somewhere was about 18% non Jag...
Some of the guys on some Jag forums get hung up on this, im not too bothered who made it in reality as I love its looks and immaculate bodywork.
Mind you i did have a slight grin when my elderly neighbour said yesterday " Is that you Jag!!!" He is obviously from years gone by when Jags were real mens cars made in Great Britain.

Anything to declare officer :D
Floor pan was used because of cost.....it costs 100's of millions ot develop and tool a new floor pan.
As for the 82% jag.....what a load of rubbish....it will be full of ZF, lucas, bosch, vdo, siemens and a stack of other manufacturers because no car manufacturer these days designs all thier own sub systems, they just buy off the shelf items.
The only real Jag bits wil be the moulded items and possibly the engine.
