Can anyone tell me what that peace is that I wrapped in tape in the picture attached and where I can purchase it for a good price. It started spewing out all of my coolant

 

I don't see a picture

 

Welcome to the forum massflav,

Your picture wasn't attached so I've posted one here showing the two most common problem areas:



Is the coolant leaking from the Thermostat Tower (arrowed in red) or the Expansion Tank (arrowed in blue)?

Actually it was the red arrow, the thermostat housing assembly. Now I have a different problem, my radiator fan assembly is completely cracked and making my car overheat again. Do yiu know anyone that has a used one at a decent price. Jaguar wants to charge me $700. I found a couple for 200 but I still feel like thats steep for used. Is that a good price?

 

At less than one third of the cost of a new part, it doesn't seem unreasonable.

I posted to the new users already thank you, can you tell ne what you think about this part

Jaguar parts are not like Chevys. Parts ARE going to be more expensive. I agree with GGG; $200 sounds like a good price to me.
