ho do I disconnect the plastic hose attached to the reservoir?
I have a 2003 XJ8 and the 2 small plastic hoses going to the reservoir are not criss-crossed as they should be. How do I unhook those? Theres a round plastic "clip" around the end of each hose and I have no Idea how to unhook that. Any help would be great

But how do you remove it? I tried pulling it off, it seems to be one piece completely surrounding the pipe, like an O shape not a C shape.

Wait, what? You have to detach one end of the breather tube to get access to the special tool which you use to detach the end of the breather tube ...
How does someone at Jaguar HQ design department even think of doing something like that, let alone why it makes more sense than just sticking it in the toolbox under the bonnet ?
I'll look again later maybe I've missed something obvious.

Late to this party but since I'm in the same boat now, I thought I'd put this out there.
The clip that is the "full" one, that was pictured above in place, does NOT fit the connections on the reservoir. I was able to snip mine free today and sure enough, nothing. It's not wide enough. So where it is in place, appears to be the only connection it even fits, as the rest of those clip connectors are all a larger diameter.
For the record, I couldn't get the brad squeeze to work at all, perhaps I wasn't using long enough ones, and using pliers I was able to get one side of one clip even remotely close to releasing.
Lucky for me though, that stupid little tool should only run what, $20 for a piece of plastic that serves one purpose and cost about 23 cents to make? yay... looks like no heat for another week.
