You can still get the nice Aluminum version on EBay?
Here is one for about $50. You can get them with and without the thermostat.
Search for Jaguar 4.0L aluminum thermostat housing. I find a dozen or more listings.

Post the codes? We need actual numbers.
If you think the noise is related to something on the front of the engine you can remove the belt for a short test or if after inspection the belt might need replacement.
But be aware that you WILL need to replace ALL the plastic cooling parts. There is...
It's on Amazon for about $30 each?
Looks to be what you need? Note the problem solver mentioned in the description.
Ball Joints
I prefer Rock Auto and they also have them? Not sure where you looked but these are common and available everywhere?

Start with easy stuff. Do the brake lights come on when you have trouble starting?
Can you push harder on the brake pedal. I would move the brake pedal switch manually to see if that's the problem.

Do a pressure test. No ones opinion has anything to do with where your leak is.
Can you DIY any of the repairs?
What is the history of the car? Any other repairs?
Be aware that with the age of your car ALL the plastic cooling parts are shot at this point and have the strength of old oatmeal...
Also note that ALL Lincoln LS 3.9L and Jaguar 4.0L and 4.2L engines SC or not use the same water pump.
This means you can find the pump at most places. Rock Auto has the Motorcraft one for around $100.

No car info? Year? No picture of what trim your talking about?
Do you have a picture of the clip your looking for?
Without information you have little hope anyone can help you?

Your module is damaged because the DCCV was not replaced in time. I would install a new Motorcraft DCCV and send you module off for repair. Consider having protection added to the module when you get the repair done.
The odds of a wiring problem are very small and you have a dead common problem...
Sounds like you have a leak into the cabin? Cat or not that's the problem.
All the bad smells I had were from the cat itself? That's where the rotten egg smell comes from.
You know that CO is odorless? So you can't be smelling CO.

I would not replace anything until you run the codes?
Yes it does sound like a valve body problem but at this point we don't know.
Post back with what you find.

I have had both cars and I would recommend that you shop for an STR. That car is WAY more than just the 4.2L SC engine!! Have you driven one yet?
I loved my 2003 LS but the STR is a big step up. The worst thing about the STR is they came with an open rear diff because of Ford. Crazy that a 400...
Well both cars had to have air bags by Federal law??
Why do think they are missing as the manufacturer would receive a multi-million dollar fine if they are?
