Arrived home friday evening and there was a different noise from the engine than usual on opening the bonnet to investigate. The rad seemed to be shaking.

It turned out the top bush with the foam around it wasnt holding it firm it was shaking in the hole in the black metal plate.

Im going to replace both bushes anyone know the name of the bush Im trying to describe ?

As i dont have a parts no. book...

 

Part 'Cooling module mounting bush' and number is MNA4241AB and you may need more than the one. Check the bottom ones too. For any parts, look at Jaguar Classic Parts website (no affiliation) because that is just where I got the info you requested.
These will either be a piece of cake to change or an absolute night-mare. It all depends on whether the torx screws can be undone easily or not. Good luck.

 

Thanks,

I gave a fluffy description to the guy at the parts store yesterday he said he new what I meant I'll see what come out, but he said thed dont do the foam round them any more.... strange !!

 

IIRC they're still foam, just black now and not yellow.

 

Just went to undo the torx screws and it turned the shaft in the handle so will need to source another shaft for the screw bits...

 

I've removed these screws from 2 cars. They came off one car with a squirt of wd40. I had to drill out some of them on the other car and tap new threads. The odd one I got out with an 'easy out' but I would not recommend using these in case they snap. I'm not sure if you can remove the lower cradle, tie the rad to the upper beam and just lower it enough to slide in the bushes. There are only 4 screws for the cradle which can corrode too but I don't recall them being problematic.
Either way I fear you'll be in for some trouble. Hopefully not.
