Default Bleeding pipe(s) on radiator (5.3l)

Hi all,

As I needed to remove the entire cluster of radiators and co from the XJ-S, the bleeding pipes had to be removed at the same time. Unfortunately the bolt on the top right of the radiator had rusted to the pipes. Even after removal it wouldn't budge. Now all the pipes are bent. So I need them new. Jaguar doesn't sell them anymore... Any ideal where I can get one?

Cheers

Damien

Only a breaker Daim, or get one made up by a decent craftsman who knows how to braise. Do not chuck away the bits though, he will need the Y shaped jet part and probably the brass ring that the bolt you refer to goes through. Greg.

That was my hope but all the parts are twisted and broken... So even with the parts, it wouldn't be rebuildable.

So it means off to a breaker...

Cheers Gregor

Oh, btw., V area is now 'compressorfree'
