Default Upper Rad Hose Turret Broke

Okay so my upper radiator hose is leaking. The hose that runs from the coolant overflow down to the "turret" on the upper hose is what acutally broke. I would love to not have to replace the entire hose assembly/thermostat just for this small piece.

Does anyone know of a source or is there any of our fine jag techs that have one from a old job that I can purchase? Thanks a bunch,

Model year? Engine? - This would be quite helpful.

Regardless, if the turret (I'm guessing V6 model) is broken - the entire assembly will need to be replaced. Additionally, I would invest in a new one, not a second hand one - your only avoiding the inevitable.

If you have the V6, then the upper radiator hose leak you have is pretty common. When mine was leaking, I bought the whole assembly with a new thermostat from Gaudin Jaguar in Las Vegas.

Overall, I had a good experience with them.

I looked on Ebay and you can buy the hose without the thermostat. Might want to look into that.
