What hose part numbers apply to my XKR?
My Jag is now 15 years old, and I think it is time to replace all the cooling system hoses. However, I am confused about the menagerie of hoses listed by SNG Barrat and am unsure which apply to my car, an '04 4.2 XKR. I plan on changing the big 3 and whatever else is accesible while I'm at it:

Glandaniel, today I found the leak in my cooling system. It is the outlet pipe (plastic) that the hoses plug into, also where the coolant temperature sensor screws in.
I did a quick look in the SNG Barrett catalog for a replacement. Found it - part number AJ81981. Then I went to find a price. Nothing below $500+ anywhere! Obviously too expensive to replace for no reason, but given the subject and my fresh memory of it , I wanted to add the part number for future reference. Hope you never need to use it. Don't laugh but I almost had a heart attack when I saw that price. Called Coventry because they often have parts cars. They set me straight- I was using the part # for supercharged engines. FWIW the part # for the XK8 is AJ85885 (and it only costs $70). Thought you'd find interesting. John |

Can anyone confirm if these are the part #s I require?
There's nearly $600 in hoses here on SNG Barratt, and I can't tell if all of these apply to my car, or in the case of the last three heater hoses, if those are actually part of the octopus hose. I want to have all new hoses in my car so that I can be confident in taking it for a road trip during the summer. Am I missing anything, or have I selected more than is necessary? John, I searched for the part you mentioned, and I highly doubt I will be needing it. On the supercharged cars, that part seems to be made out of aluminum or some other metal and is very robust. I inspected mine and it seems to be in good shape. What is C2N1592 and do I also need that hose? |
G, did you include the bypass hose and I missed it? I assume supercharged cars have 1 too. It's a $7.00 part btw.

John I believe that's AJ811638 - Thermostat Housing to Coolant Inlet Hose if I'm not mistaken? |
I'm more awake than last night. Didn't realize that there is such a difference between 4.0 and 4.2. I just checked and agree with you.

John Also, I found the upper radiator hose at about half price from the SNG Barratt one on Motorcars LTD. Do they carry quality parts, or are they cheap for a reason? |
I've never paid attention to hose brand names. Maybe someone smarter can answer?
When you said from SNG, I was surprised. Despite being a sponsor, I've always found them to be prohibitively expensive. Maybe I interpreted that backwards? If so, IMO it is typical, no surprise there. Bet I read it wrong and Barrett is 2x more... John |

I cross shopped and distributed the purchase between RockAuto, Motorcars, SNG Barratt, and Welsh. For all 14 parts, it was $495.23. Now I shall await their arrival as well as the end of the school semester to get to work.
I feel like getting all those hoses changed will give me some peace of mind. I also did end up buying a few more hoses not on the original list: Supercharger Coolant feed hose: C2N1592, and Intercooler Hose: MJB8236AB. Also, since the supercharger must come out to be able to change the valley hoses, I will also take this opportunity to change the supercharger oil while it is out of the car. I decided to postpone the valve cover gaskets as the leak is very very slow. I'm not adding any oil between oil changes, but I am having to add about 4 ounces of coolant every few weeks. |
