HELP!

[Force4145]

Hi Chaps,

I've just fitted a new expansion tank to an S-type 2004 and stupidly the retaining clip for the bottom hose slipped out of my hand. I've spent hours looking for it and now I've had to give up.

Does anyone have a spare, new or used. Or is there a way around it.

The Jaguar Part number is: XR849447  They only sell the complete hose system which works out at around £55.00 (a great deal to pay for a small clip!).

I'm desperate now, as I know under pressure, the hose will blow off, so I can't use the car :(   Any help/suggestions gratefully received.

Cheers,

Nick

Hi Nick,

I'm replacing all those stupid Ford / Jag clips with jubilee clips, readily available and easier to use IMO. 

Hope this helps, Russ

Hi Russ,

I don't think I'm going to be able to do that in this case. See pic.

Breakers yard would be your best bet

Hi Gary,

Thanks. I have spoken to them this morning and just waiting for them to get back to me.

I was wondering if there might be a temporary fix. Such as twisting some wire around it?

Hi Frank,

I thought of that as I use them in my work. But they aren't thin enough to get into the slot. Thanks anyway.

I'd like to thanks everyone for their contributions. Much appreciated.

I finally got the part from Eurojag (01325-72777) and in particular Warren. He was kind enough to send me the part free of charge! I will certainly be dealing with them again :) I recommend them to all jaguart owners.
