I just Scored a 97 V8 (X308) Daimler recently - if your looking for any Modules , Its a Parts Car for my 94 (X300) XJ6 but I'm not sure if the ECU for the Jaguar V8 is compatible with an AJ16 Engine  

Thanks, but I've already got an emergency spare ECU from an '80s XJ6 (XJ40) which had the same 3.6l AJ6 engine. Also, I really doubt the ECU from a Ford-era V8 would run my non-cat inline six with a distributor and an oldschool hydraulic auto. 

But do look me up if you're throwing out the supercharged AJ16 engine and box of an X306 XJR / XJR6 or a set of 16inch lattice alloys from an XJ40 3.2 sport.

Cool, Your Right , not compatible  - 

Still I'm not Sure the motor itself is Ford Era although the X300 was produced with upgraded factory equipment paid for by Ford (as I think it was designed before the sale) 

My understanding is they were sold at a loss so the larger larger V8's were put in later - although the 97 Daimler having a V8 is smaller than a Double Six  V12 that I would come to expect, 

I would call the next generation post 2000's as 'Ford-era' being the Aluminum bodied XJ's (larger & Mondeo like) ,but the naming conventions have always been a bit confusing.

 I Imagine the ECU unit contains the Firing order commands so need to be paired with the same number of cylinders , so I have an ECU for a 97 (Jaguar?) 4.2 V8 that's of no use for my XJ6

 

(The 308 reference was more a guess at the naming convention) , as The Daimler is more a an X300 with a V8 & a facelift)
