Question XJ8 radiator replacement plastic hose source?

Does anyone know where a good source is for these hoses, (3 of them going to the radiator -- all plastic. Can they simply be replaced with rubber hoses and some hose clamps, I broke 1 of the 3 ends trying to get them off so maybe just doing it there would be ok. I'm sure Jaguar charges a small fortune for them though...

(I've moved your tech question from General Tech to X308 section because it's model-specific)

Always worth checking Jaguar parts prices first. Sometimes you can even get a pleasant surprise. Other times you can find an aftermarket source at much lower cost and have the warm happy glow of knowing how much you've saved!
