I bought a thermostat for my 2006 XJR. Has anyone changed an X350 XJR thermostat and is this what it is supposed to look like? As you can see, what I received is a three piece affair. The separate seal seems to be about three inches in diameter, while the thermostat (AJ811788) is about 1 1/4" diameter.
When I asked about this, I was told that the AJ87696 called for in the JEPC was superseded to the AJ811788
What say those of you that have actually changed one? I was expecting a thermostat similar to what was in my 99 XJ8

So, it appears that in 2004, Blackkat's XJR used a traditional type thermostat like what I had in my 99 XJ8.
By 2006, based on VIN, the elbow (#2 in Don B's illustration) apparently changed to what is seen in the photos provided by WooX4 in his S-Type and uses the multi-piece thermostat.
The JEPC illustration was confusing in that it appeared to show the Blackkat style for the XJR but the multi-piece for the NA cars.
I am still collecting hoses so it will be a while before I post photos of what mine looked like.
