Well, looks like I've sprung a leak Captain!!

Seems the return hose connected on the back side of my Hydraulic pump for the convertible top has popped out at the connection point. Being this a hydraulic hose, I gather there is no way to repair it at the connection point and I would have to have it completely rerun to the front?? any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

 

Yup, repairing these is futile. These folks will sell you a better than OEM replacements: Rebuild/Upgrade Service for '96-'06 Jaguar XKR/XK8 Convertible Hydraulic Components - Top Hydraulics, Inc

 

If it is one of the four hoses on the back of the pump then it's one of the lift ram hoses not the front latch hoses . Less work than the front hoses -
rear seats etc have to come out but not too bad a job. When I did mine last year I used the upgraded hoses from Top Hydraulics - so far all good.
