I have a 2002 Jaguar XKR and when I was messing around under the hood the other day, I broke a plastic piece that attached what I believe is the radiator overflow hose to the radiator. That is where it broke, but it attaches on the other end to where you put the antifreeze in. It was a small(in circumference) plastic tube. Sorry I don't have pics, but I could get them if it is necessary. If anyone knows the part number it would be greatly appreciated!

 

Do you mean the plastic tube/hose combo that runs across the cam covers? If so, it can easily be replaced with heat resistant hose available at most of the big chain auto stores. Cost you at most $2. Double that if you need to buy hose clamps.

Ask the man who knows.

 

I can assume that you mean the tube from the expansion tank (where you put the antifreeze in) to the radiator.

There are a number of part number choices based on VIN. I would suggest that you go to the most excellent parts catalog from SNG Barratt. They are an active forum sponsor and offer a discount to forum members.

 

Welcome to the forum jabkeys5397,

The early XK8's had two Bleed Hoses from the Expansion Tank. One went to the Thermostat Housing and the other to the Radiator. The second one to the Radiator was soon discontinued and the outlet from the Expansion Tank blanked off. Is it the one to the Thermostat Housing that is broken?
