Does anyone know a source for the brass ferrule air line fitting to the shock? Dealership said it comes with the purchase of new hose for $158. There has to be a source for just the brass ferrule?

Give me a few. I have the Jaguar part numbers.. (let me look at my Jaguar part packs on the shelf)
Meirion1: this is at the shock absorber-a brass ferrule on the air line- not the compressor piston ring.
34by151: this is not a standard ferrule --a 6mm bought locally didn't work--this had a slit cut into it and it has a flat edge. Standard ferrule would be too simple for this car!

If you use the standard olive (no slit) in aq standard compression fitting it will work fine
This is what I did on my car
You cant use the standard olive in the oem fitting however
What you do is remove the OEM nut and screw the standard fitting into that then used the standard olive and nut.
Ill also say I added a T and schrader valve between the residual valve and air line. This allows me to use for a pressure gauge or add air if ever needed
Here is a pic of the residual valve with a 6mm compression fitting screwed into the top
Note the 6mm airline I have cutoff
I removed this from my spare set of airbags to take the pics
The lower part (with the oring) is the residual valve
Normally the split olive and nut goes in the top
By removing these you can screw in a standard compression fitting as shown in the pics

What did you use to remove the air line connection at the strut? (with the split notches 180 degrees apart) I suspect mine need to be tightened a bit...
The first one came out on its own
Initially I had a leak at the OEM olive and the whole lot came out while removing the olive nut.
For the second one I used vice grips as I had the airbag out anyway. This one had a leak around the top airbag seal. I managed to repair this. I ran the repair for about 10,000km before putting in new bilstein sport units.
If you are removing the residual valve I recommend you put in a new o-ring and use Loctite 567 on the thread. Loctite 567 is used in preference to thread tape as it provides a thread seal at high temp as well as a mild thread lock. Thread tape for gas is prone to melt. If you use the Loctite the o-ring isnt really needed for the seal but good to use a new one anyway. The O-ring is also a source of cold weather leaks which is another geat reason to Loctite it
I'm having difficulty identifying the part number for the compressor out (high pressure to valve block) brass end connector.
Is this also a C2C9903 (4mm) end connector?

Thank you in advance for your help!

The connector coming off the compressor itself is a 6mm size and check the thread for that part number.
