Welcome.

Norri has it sorted.

There is a coolant hose and plastic elbow/adaptor under the inlet manufold that is talked about almost daily.

The X308 group will sort you quiick time.

Welcome to the forum Shaun,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Follow Norri's link in post #2 to the X308 forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Enjoy the forums.
