This should get you started
https://www.jaguarclassicparts.com/u...oses-5-3-litre
The you have to flip around to different sub-sections for the multitude of other other hoses
I'm not aware of a single diagram showing all the hoses....but someone else may well chime in and surprise us!
Cheers

55% rest of world

Just tecently did all of my hoses. That bottom one can be a PITA. Suggest raising the front and clearing as much space as you can in front-left corner before you start.
