Hi, sorry, I'm not sure if this is where I'm supposed to post this...

I have a 2005 XJ8 Van den Plas and an Engine Coolant Low message:

Are there any step by step instructions, Pics or YOU TUBE videos on how to replace the coolant tank? Please help.

Already bought the tank but can't see/reach the bottom hose and/or the sensor... am I supposed to remove something first to get it out of the way?

I thought it would be a relatively easy fix. Would greatly appreciate hearing from you before I have it towed to repaired shop. Please help.

BTW.... I'm replacing the coolant tank because the top nozzle onto which with the overflow hose fits into broke off and there is not enough of a nozzle to attach the hose.... It broke off when a good samaritan rescued a kitten that was stuck under my hood... he had to squeeze his hands/arms in between all the hoses and other stuff under the hood to get to the kitten... he got it out, but I believe all that tugging broke off the nozzle. Maybe I have other issues related to the Engine Coolant Low message, but I know the tank definitely needs to be replaced. Any thoughts would greatly be appreciated.
