Title: Diesel XJ - Coolant hoses
Post by: XJ Fan on July 23, 2020, 03:09:43 PM

Hi, does anyone have any ideas where I can get coolant hoses from for the 2.5TD XJ?

I have tried the main dealers, the VM specialist in Chesterfield, Lighthouse, Jeepey, Samco, and can find nothing.
It’s specifically the front hoses coming out of the thermostat. I managed to get a second-hand spare earlier this year, but this is not working as intended (I think it’s slightly too short).

Any ideas?

The part numbers are: 04883431aa and 04778977, if that helps.

Seem to have both in stock.

I have gone through the whole ordering process and you can pay by CC or Paypal and delivery to your door.

So they arrived last Wednesday (so three days to deliver from France, not bad at all!), and I got the JEEP back on Thursday along with a new water pump and thermostat. Everything looks tickets-boo for now (besides an oil leak that I'm yet to track down)  :ace:
