I have a 2.4L RHD MK2.
The upper hose is quite old, and needs replacing.
The number is C21499.
I ordered one out of a good supplier I use regularly, with outlets in England, the US and Europe.
What I got doesn't fit anything on any MK2 I ever saw (smaller diameter by a bunch, and a 90 on one end).

Numerous discussions, they found the parts might have been mis-marked.

So, they sent me the correct unit.
This hose does not have the two ribs on it.
They claim (and I believe them) that the 2.4L did not have the ribs like the 3.4L and 3.8L did.

Any of you smart UK folks know for sure?

I worked with the Jag Club of North America on an "appendix" to the Judging Guide on the MK2 to cover the many, many differences in a 2.4L version, and this may be another one.

Thanks.

Hi Dave, I have the same car you have. I, too, have a hose w/2 ribs and ordered anew hose set from a similar supplier (perhaps the same) and received a different top hose. I have not fitted it yet. I have noticed that hose sets for the 2,4 from the UK that I have seen on Ebay include the non-ribbed top hose.

I just found out, there is some kind of Jaguar Master Parts Catalog or Viart Book and the guy with it says:
"the parts manual for the 3.4/3.8 lists C28972 for late cars, C27106 for middle and C 21499 for earlier cars and C 12424 for the first cars. C21499 is a straight hose w/o ribs and has a bend in it. "
My J.33 Parts Manual for my 1964 2.4L shows a C21499, which is a straight hose with a dip in the middle.

So, what I have is going on the car this week end.

Do you have a J.33?
I can give you commission number spreads tomorrow.
