1. My coolant reservoir tank is leaking and I can't get a replacement immediately. Pressure from heating blows off any glue patchwork. I found that of 1991 Sovereign (has the shape of a bottle) but same twin outlet nozzles. WILL IT FIT?
2. Since there are so many Ford components in the Jag, is there an expansion tank from a Ford model that is comparable to the Jaguar XJ8/XK8 from 1998 on?
