Quick update. I have not yet found any OEM hoses for my RHD Cherokee. For the moment I am giving up the search as I have fabricated some with various bends, copper pipe and Jubilee clips and it's holding water. I'll start the search again in the New Year. Meantime, Happy Christmas all...

That is a very interesting article and the discussion has been going on for a lot longer than I thought. There is a grain of truth in what I said about Henry Ford.

I come from the UK and drove there for many, many years. Now I live in Spain which is on the other side. I had done holidays in Europe so the transition was not difficult. It was more difficult going back to the UK and using a hire car. Had to think very hard at roudabouts. There are also...

I have asked a friend who is in the UK to check out the local Jeep dealer with your numbers and see if anything is available. Seeing that we drive on the LEFT over there there may be a chance of some new old stock somewhere. BTW I am in Spain. Did you know that it was Napolean who changed...

That's how I'm getting by at the moment, bits of copper and Jubilee clips.

Thanks superj. Great find. Definitely look like the real thing. I would be a bit reluctant to buy second hand ones because it is impossible to guess what condition they might be in.

Thanks for this. Sadly they are not what I am looking for. This is a far more complex set up with crimped metal pipes. My needs are much more basic, just plain rubber tube with preformed bends to wrap round the back of the block. I came across Omix Ada yesterday for the first time who show...

That does indeed look very close to what I'm after.. My set up does not have any valves or vacuum lines and the coolant flows through the core at all times. I'll contact them for a chat tomorrow. Thank you for that.

Great to hear from you. I hope you can find it again. Cheers Mike

I have been trying to contact Mopar service to ask some questions and can't get past the first page and the email address they gave me does not work and I am tired of being run around in circles. I suspect it is picking up that I am not in the US, though that hasen't been a problem in the past...

That's the best news yet. I have already checked Ebay in the UK, Spain and Germany but nothing is showing. Could you send me a link to each of the ads you have mentioned? I can then go in and check them out . Thank you. Usually suppliers are willing to ship their goods (for a fee). Sadly...

Thanks very much for the suggestion. They are quite close to what is needed. The problem is the cost, plus, by the time I have shipped them here to Spain the price will have doubled. I find this with RockAuto stuff all the time, so that rather prices them out of touch.

Happily the car passed its test yesterday with a cobbled together hose, so that's that for another 12 months, Of all the requests I have made no one has come up with any leads on new one piece pipes. It is going to have to have ones made up with various elbows and bends. The trouble with doing...

Thanks for the reply. The only hard pipe I have are the two short stubs poking through the bulkhead (firewall) that your hoses fit onto. There is no water valve, so the water circulates all the time. Sorry if the pics are not that clear but there is a lot of other stuff going on in that area...

I am trying to find the moulded heater hoses for my 1994 lit XJ. My usual ports of call for things Jeep have drawn blanks and Mopar says discontinued. I am not sure I can get preformed bends and make them up myself in the local area. For reference, they exit the bulkhead forwards from the...
