Having to replace oil cooler pipes from engine. One has been
‘kissed’ by a grinder by the looks of it under previous
owner. So replacing the pair. Unfortunately, the sealing
rings are no longer available. Going to try a hydraulic
specialist. Anyone know what size the sealing rings are? As
I have not removed the pipes yet.
Any input gratefully receieved.
Thanks in advance
Nick
P.S
The new pipes were just over �140 sterling for the pair- OUCH!–

G’day Nick,
I managed to burst one of the oil cooler hoses on my car and rather
than pay Jaguar an extortionate price for the new hose I took the
offending thing to a local hydraulic workshop and the tech there
made me a new one, in about ten minutes, using the original end
fittings for less than a tenth of the cost of the new one.
Sometime later I had the other hose done as well, just in case.

I forgot to say that I re-used the ‘O’ rings in the oil filter
housing.
