Anyone know of a source for reasonably priced upper and lower radiator hoses for an XKR? The typical Jaguar parts sources are approx $80 each!! Ouch! I bought a lower hose for my Suburban from Autozone today..it is over 2' long..$20. They don't have one for the XKR. Gates doesn't have a listing. I know parts are expensive for Jags, but come-on $80 for a freakin hose. The upper is like 12" to boot.

 

This forum has a list of venders that will help provide you what you need. Use this link to access information for them https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/vendor_directory.php If you find they do not provide you what you need and or the price you want try this link http://www.motorcarsltd.com they have been good to me in the past.

 

I did the same search and ended up with a jag part. I suppose you could make your own custom hose.

 

I can do you a set of colored silicone hoses

 

I guess they are made of that rare British material, unobtanium.

 

There are some really good vendors here who I'm sure can help you out, maybe offer a good price and good delivery, but you need to ask them to quote for supply......They're not mind readers.....lol

You can find them all in the vendor directory

Good luck

 

The brand URO Parts has an inexpensive range of hoses for Jags. They seem to be of reasonable quality.

 

I got mine at Rockauto.com and they seem fine so far. Much thicker than original but fit well.
