The green thing on the pass wide of hose popped out when I pushed the side onto the tube it connects too. I was unable to move after that and it is not leaking.
When little of the valley hoses (the ends) that I could see they seemed ok.

 

it took a few hours to get the damn hose out, about 30 min to hook back up and test drive it.

 

So on the CAN I DO THIS FIX scale I'd say most anyone can do this repair. It is more a knuckle buster than anything. Most tools that you have can do the job but I would pick up a set of those funky tools you use to remove the hose clamps you find on this car.
The octopus hose, right where it runs behind the motor, almost dead center of firewall, the hose was strap tied to something, at first I did not realize this and was getting pissed that it would not pull out. Snapped the tie and it can put. If you can change oil, radiator hoses, tstat housing, you can do this. What I did not do, if you can, I would replace the heater core hoses also, cause if I have to some of this hose will have to come back off. That said my hoses looked fine.

 

And as suggested earlier in the thread, removing the TB makes it much easier to do this job and removing it is easy, 4 bolts, a few easy to remove hoses and harness connectors.

 

Had Jaguar used silicone hoses,as they should of for the price of their vehicles you would never have to worry. I don't think its the engineer, I think its Jaguar wanting to be cheap and make a lot of profit off us.

Whats funny, Ive seen mercedes with over 200k on them never have to worry about hoses,valve cover gaskets, timing components etc lol
