Default Overflow Tank - Where Do Lines Go? HELP!

Okay, I'm lost. I am the second person to work on this car. And I know nothing about Jaguars. The first person pulled everything apart and I'm trying to piece it back together.

So WHERE do the four lines go on this thing?

1) Line laying on the bumper (I am 99% sure this plugs on the front of the radiator - driver's side).

2) Line laying on the ground. It has a rubber line on the end.

3) Larger plug on the bottom of the tank.

4) Smaller plug on the top of the tank - pointing toward the camera.

The large one on the bottom obviously connects to the octopus hose that connects the heater matrix and the auxiliary pump sitting below it -- the small hose off by itself on the top goes to the top of the thermostat housing. The two closest together go to the radiator and the overflow tank in the drivers side fender -- the strange thing is that they cross over ........the one to the overflow tank is the middle one -- it sits higher up in the tank.

I have an XJR - so I have an additional one that connects to the radiator hose.

Take care with the small hoses as they become brittle with age and snap.
