Ok so hopefully this hasnt posted 2 times already (work computer playing up)

Gday guys and Merry Christmas,

So about 2 months ago I pulled out my radiator for refurb and to replace all the hoses, knowing it would take me a while to complete it I took a lot of detailed pictures (with my phone) as everybody would.

In the mean time i have broken my phone and lost all the pictures and cant remember exactly how a few of the hoses run! Does anybody have a diagram or are you able to take a few detailed pictures of how the hoses run?

Thanks very much

 

A 1988 Ser III would have a V12. Is that what you have? If so, I can help....as I have one sitting in my driveway.

Or is it a 1988 XJ6? In that case it would be an "XJ40" car and you should post in that section.

Cheers

Yep v12 sorry

 

Are you still able to assist with the pictures?

 

Totally forgot. Sorry.

I'll try to get some pics for you tomorrow when I get home from work

Cheers

Sorry for the delay. Not sure how much these pics will help, but here goes.

The two upper radiator hoses are self explanatory, as is the lower hose.

The radiator upper panel has a steam relief tube with three branches....two to the left, one to the right.

In the first pic are the two left hoses. The one to the left of the blue relay goes to the nipple on the top of the expansion tank. The nipple is right next to the filler neck.

The hose to the right of the round black relay goes to a nipple immediately aft of the left side thermostat.

In the second pic is the right hand side steam hose. It goes from the steam tube to the filler neck at the front of the engine.

Not shown (I couldn't get a pic...not enough room) is the heater hose which attaches to the left radiator tank, way down low. The nipple for this hose is virtually (perhaps literally) on top of the nipple for the lower radiator hose.

That's it ! Hope this helps.

Cheers

That should do it!!

Thanks very much really appreciate it

Hope you've had a great New Years
