as the subject title says, I need an s-type space saver spare wheel (16"). I'm located in Leeds., West Yorkshire.

Not the case, I'm afraid.

The S-Type, the X-Type and XJs from X350 on have a different wheel nut pattern (PCD) than earlier cars.

The modern  XK series changes to the later pattern also, but I don't know what model year that was.

Hi. My addition many months late (new member, and in N.Z.). By now you will have a spare no doubt.
Yep, scrapyards first call. My "Jack" got damaged by son using it to lift a Toyota Hilux front end, the whole front! I went to a Jaguar wreckers and got one out of a wrecked car that was "new", ie. never been used. Paid a little less than half the price Jaguar agents were charging, so I was very pleased.
Re "space-saver" spare. Read a comment about making sure diameter etc were correct or speedo may not read correctly. Fair comment for a normal spare. BUT, remember, a "space-saver" spare is only designed and made to get a car to the nearest garage, and no further. Cars' speed shouldn't be more than say 50km/h (30mph). They are not supposed to get you home or to complete a journey.
Best regards, John.
