--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe the Lagonda was the first 'world car' ever built !
I list below ( it's not exhaustive ) some donators/contributors :
JAGUAR : steering, front suspension, brakes, steel & pepperpot wheels, inside door locks, mirrors( S2/S3)...
FORD : door latches, knobs for seats & windows, mirrors (S4)...
AUSTIN : wiper blades, fuel filter...
RENAULT : wiper blades, headlights S2/S3...
CITROEN : additionnal front lights
CHRYSLER : windows & door locks motors, gearbox, starter...
LAND ROVER : A/C compressor
PEUGEOT : manifold gasket
TALBOT : knobs on dash ( late S3&S4)
NISSAN : headlights S4
TOYOTA : ceiling lights
I also fitted my car with this :
RENAULT KANGOO : door rubbers
RENAULT MAXITY/NISSAN CABSTAR : battery
RENAULT/VOLVO TRUCKS : silentblocs of the muffler line.

The gasket of the thermostat is same as a RENAULT TRUCK kind.
All the supports, wire-hangings and silent-blocs of the muffler line can easily be replaced by new silent-blocs from VOLVO/RENAULT TRUCKS like on my car.
When I'll have more time, I propose to compile a wide list or making a rolling list with experience of others in alternative parts.

Does anyone know if there is an equivalent for the wiper arms ?
Also, I found that the fuses covers in the engine bay are from Triumph TR6 |

Absolutely no idea, just as for the rear lights and the front indicators...
The wipers motor seems coming from a Jag...

| Having one of the headlamp lift motors almost dead, I looked at different makes and it looks like it is the same mounted on Triumph TR7, apparently you just need to fit your plug to the new motor. |

Hi Harry !
That would be great to double check for the motors ! I didn't have time to look on mine and compare the motors but on different pictures found on Google, they look very similar
Many thanks for your offer ! I left mine to a shop to see if they can repair it, if not, I'll send you an MP  |

Wiper arms can be replaced by Valeo wiper arms for the Renault Laguna wiper arms (first series I think) driver's side.

The engine motor mounts are from Jaguar XJ12 - just replaced - and cheap for new ones!
I've never been able to figure out what car the rear taillight lenses came from? |
