Default Coolant Tank

Having read the following thread

https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...8-98-a-163093/

Researching my loss of coolant problem that seems to still be happening following replacing the water pump due to a dripping weep hole, I am wondering if my pipes are correctly put on as the set up differs by way of 3 pipes of two mouldings not two

I anticipate it may be wrong

Any link to an official diagram would be nice

Regards

Looks to me like your XJR is correctly connected. Looks right to me....

Looks correct, the one higher up should lead to the overflow tank (drivers side quarter), the lower ones to the radiator. Dont have the diagram available but Im sure someone will post it.

Also if they were hooked up backwards youd notice a puddle at the ds front corner once its up to temp.

They are correct.

What about the pressure cap?

Hard to explain, but if you take it out and look you should
be able to puzzle out how it all works.
