Hi, I live in Australia and need to buy new Hydraulic hoses that go from the boot area up to the top latch in the windscreen frame. They are about 6 metres long.One of the hoses blew out right at the end near the fitting.I am thinking I went to all the trouble of pulling them out I may as well replace them both. My car is a 2002 XK8 Convertible 4litre .I am assuming that the hoses will be the same for my Right hand drive as a left hand drive ? . I am looking for a website business or business in America or the UK that I can buy new hoses from.I haven't received a quote from the local Jaguar dealer yet ( they are going to get back to me with a price)but I'm guessing the cost in Australia will be a lot dearer than if I buy them from overseas. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks .

 

ive got a kit for sale . To fix the line from jag its $150 and the lines as a pair are $250 will have tk double check your market tho

 

is your convertible pump on the right side or the left?

 

Congratulations. You have now officially been initiated into the XK8/XKR convertible ownership experience club .

Hi guys, I haven't been able to respond because every time I go on this website I keep getting this message -ge.
Still no response from the administrator ?? .
Anyway , I had to do some searching for the new hoses on the net and found an excellent seller at www.britishparts.co.uk . I bought the brand new genuine hoses for $200.00 Aust . Their service is fantastic, I also bought mudflaps ,radiator hoses ,and a service kit for it. They have the hydraulic oil for sale for only $35.00 Aus , the only problem was they couldn't send it overseas. I called them three times and the service was unbelievably friendly even though I was begging them to send me the oil.So I called two Jaguar dealers in Perth ,(Barbagello and Roadbend) they both wanted $148.00 for the exact same oil (Pentosin CHF11S) .So I told them where they could stick their oil. So after some ringing around I tracked down Solitaire motors in Adelaide who sell the same oil for $55.00 per litre. I'd like to know how these retards in Perth think they can justify selling the same product for almost three times the price as others ???. Just waiting on the oil and I'll be cruising again.
