Missing A/C hose pls help with part#

[Futal]

Hey all, just picked up my first XJ a couple of weeks ago. Been loving it so far but it’s missing a hose for the air con system, bloke I bought it off put in a new condenser and other bits and bobs but broke one of the lines in the process, now I’ve been struggling to find the correct part to source a new one.

I took a trip to the wreckers today just so I could see what it at least looked like or if they had one in decent condition ��(they didn’t) but I took so photos in the hopes that someone here may be able to help.

It’s the hose going from the top port on the condenser (the fatter one) and connects onto a U shaped hard line that goes into the compressor.
Looking for RHD (being Aussie)
It’s a 96 I6 4.0L petrol
I’m located in the Gold Coast
Thanks in advance

Is it a suction hose? Or discharge.. 🤷🏼**♂️

Its a discharge hose

Pretty sure you cant buy them

You can get one made...

I made my last one that was needed

Judging by the photo's of the condition of the car you may be better off taking the condenser off altogether. It will help the old girl to run cool.

You will spend X amount of dollars getting the front part of the a/c right only to find a leak under the dash which, if you get somebody to fix it, will cost an arm and a leg because the entire dash has to be dismantled. Been there, done that.

If you do remove the condenser take to it with an angle grinder and remove all the other pipes starting at the firewall. It will make working on the other bits of the car so much easier.

Thanks for the reply’s, the photos taken are from the xj I found at the wreckers not mine 😀

I guess someone like enzed could make them.

Hi & welcome.
How about giving some details of your XJ, like year & if its petrol or diesel. Also your location, there could be another member not far from you with the bits you need.
