Default Overheated and line burst...

Last night my girlfriend was driving my 2000 Disco due to the snowing weather, while she was driving and failed to notice the engine overheated. This was due to a radiator hose coming uncoupled, I easily fixed that this afternoon. However, after conducting a quick visual inspection of the engine compartment it looks as though another smaller tube to the rear of the coolant reservoir has broken also, not sure how. I am unsure of where to locate a replacement tube, does this need to be ordered online or is it something a local auto store would have in stock. I have included some pictures so you can get a look at the piece.

Thanks for your time and help,
JJ

That's the vacuum hose to the cruise control actuator, not a coolant line. It's just a rubber hose.

OK, assuming I am not using cruise control would it be safe to drive for a few miles?

Just cut the end off of that vacuum hose and plug it back in. Easy.
