So you need to release pipe W on the cooler (the one on the left side of the cooler, shown right on the picture here, and that is going to the lower fixing at the Jatco box.)

My emphasis above. There is a black plastic ring / collar to the left of the hose (where it meets the cooler). You slide it to the right. As it does this the retaining tabs are opened and you slide the connector off.

For the later cooler the same push fit connector is used, but the pipe is vertical, so you slide the collar upwards to release the tabs.

You will probably find it is quite stiff to move, due to corrosion of the alloy stud the host connects to, after all these years. Mine needed a little gentle clean up and a little WD40 (wipe off excess) to help lubricate. May even need a plastic tool or something equally gentle to help get it moving.

Thanks , Mine have later type with alloy bit . Will give a try tomorrow
