Default 1999 XJ8 a/c lines

Can't seem to find a source for a/c line replacement. I've tried Jag officiL website, Rock Auto, chain part stores..no luck. Any suggstions?

Which lines or hoses do you need? If it’s a rubber hose, you can take it to a local hydraulics shop and they can likely remake yours.

It's the upper hose and is under pressure. It is part metal with a short rubber hose between the two ends. The jag website shows it discontinued. Tried Moss Motors as well no luck. Ebay shows some, but all are used and not sure if they would be leak free....no returns for those parts offered.

Over here I'd go somewhere like Pirtek who make up hoses for hydraulics etc. The chances are the metal sections are fine & the crimp or rubber bit has failed. They could replace that onto the original hard sections.

You must have something similar over there, but I wouldn't have a clue on company names.

Thanks. I'll look into that. I believe you're correct on the crimped metal to rubber is where the leak is (are).

I’ve had hoses replaced/repaired at Pirtek here in Florida. No issues. You might want to buy a used hose from eBay and just take it to Pirtek to have them rebuild it. Just an idea.

Thanks, went there, but they don't do A/C lines anymore. They referred me to Alternative Hoses LLC. They will teapot, test and guarantee repair!
"About $110" per hose and 1 turnaound... thanks for the lead. I will post results. Alternatve Hoses LLC appears to be franchise company natio wide.

Sounds reasonable enough compared to genuine prices & it'll be just as good.

Thanks Gunny....for that info. It's getting harder to find quality replacements
for things like A/C lines.
