Hi Everyone, Does anyone have experience of a GOOD supplier of a coolant hose kit for the 1996 XJS 4.0 please? I am carrying out a rebuild of the car and like many things, I would like to do it one with good components. So if you have experience, please share it with me.
Kindest regards, Simon (Kent)

Simon,
the one you really want to change is the one underneath the intake manifold. A bit of a pig to get to and one that lets go unexpectedly due to metal pipe corrosion.
The one that is a problem to source is the "octopus" bottom hose for the AJ16 engine. £300+ from Jaguar and I don't know anyone who sells an alternative.
Cheers
Paul

Thank you Paul, I will have a 'Poke' around and see what is going on with it. I think some of them have been changed at some point as many look sort of 'Newish' but that never stopped me throwing money at something!!
