A well done to all who helped Jon and Frank on this.
We are so lucky as a group to have individuals that will take that extra time to explain how things come apart. We all know it's just not obvious.

Always glad to help out Wayne. You and the gang have saved me on many occasions and I'm only to happy to pay it forward when I'm able to. Sometimes just knowing that others have been stumped, frustrated or needing advice makes me feel a lot better about tackling problems and issues.

Cheers!

Andrew

Default cooling reservoir

Hi, I just replaced the octopus hose. It came with a new T. and found that my coolant reservoir and valve water Schrader valve were also leaking. Very expensive. The mech could not change the clamps or it had to cut off the Jag Original inserts.

Coolant reservoir missing hose or not

No, your coolant reservoir is not missing a hose. That second long black nozzle is not utilized. Take a look at its tip and you will see that it is sealed....

Hello Wayne 👋 I have to change that T fitting also. I'm ordering it and the corresponding hose to throttle body.

Oz, you have to be near the finish line on the hoses.
Was it leaking or the movement from replacing the valley hoses might have keyed the leak?
Jon gave you the O ring number, hope that's it and you don't have a problem with it separating. It might be something we could do here it your hands have a problem with it. I know how you have been through this before but just wanted to offer if needed. going to rain badly for the next couple of days, bummer.

Hello Wayne 👋, all the rear hoses are still the originals. I worry about that t because of some staining on it, it could be nothing but....

I rather have it on hand to replace and the connecting hose.
