I searched extensively and couldn't find the answer. I see different methods of how to handle the coolant leak under the S/C; the JTIS says to pull the S/C off while forum members found a solution to avoid doing so.
Just looking for over-simplied instructions, if you need to remove the shroud and radiator, etc...

Bacardi, the mechanic is pulling the blower off during winter to repair hose, send out blower to be ported, new cam cover gaskets, compression test, etc. I too, wish there was an easier solution to the under blower leaking hose...except to cap it off at the throttle body (not replace it)? Doing this will decrease mpg's and cold weather driveability.

Just out of curiousity which type of pulley are you going to be installing? 3lb or the 1.5lb? B/c if its the 3lb I'm sure you are aware that the Snout on the S/C will need some shaving
. By the way what type of Radar/Jammer you have installed in your STR? Looks nicely done ![Icon Naughty](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_naughty.gif)

Thank you with the radar detector compliment...It's the 9500ix...I don't recommend the mirror mount...It makes the mirror bounce way too much...I also don't recommend hardwiring into the mirror for power as you won't be able to tuck the wire to fit in the mirror trim piece unless you use a dremel. Therefore I recommend hardwiring into the sunroof...

3lb S/C pulley is already on; in fact, car was squeal free until about 1000 miles after the S/C pulley was installed it started to squeal...I had a mechanic check it out and it was the idler...I bought all the parts from Nelley, (FYI, the 6 parts were $362 shipped) and a friend and I are going to attempt to install it whenever the parts arrive.
