Default New x350 owner looking for upgrades and aftermarket parts.

Hello everyone,

just bought my first 2007 jaguar xjr and its phenomenal. I'm excited to be apart of the forum and I'm also eager to learn about these amazing machines. As of recently I started having my radiator hoses start bursting and I'm not in the market if any for upgrades hoses and clamps. Iv heard of heatshrinked hoses and others but have yet to find someone who makes them for my jaguar. Thanks again to everyone for all your help and advice.

Welcome.

I have always stuck with standard hoses, and usually change them at the 8-10 year mark.

10 years is a fair suck for any rubber component in any engine bay.

I would do them ALL, and repeat in 10 years or so.

Welcome to the forum mikesheve,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the X350 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

I've deleted your question about
Eurotoys intercooler?!?!? in X308 forum as any replies there are likely to be misleading.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the US Lower Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/u...r-atlantic-66/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Did you buy each hose piece by piece or were you able to find a kit?
thank you
