Inlet manifold and throttle body removal
#21
Thanks for the help everyone, job achieved today. I didn't do the heater pump in the end, really needed to get the hoses done today and didn't have chance to get one in time so I'll tackle that later in the year and hope that the weather stays warm enough for it not to be a problem for a while.
The valley hoses definitely needed doing, it wouldn't be long before the top one as seen on this picture burst - no wall strength at all and about twice the size it should be.

What are the part numbers and where can I purchase these "Valley Hoses" for non-supercharged 4.2L V8?

I got them from my local Jag dealer. Will see if I can find the receipt and look up the part numbers from it for you.

This is an old thread and the hoses were replaced successfully.
I changed the hoses on my 1999 XK8 and stumbled on a much easier/quicker replacement procedure. If you remove the 10 bolts to the intake manifold and lift up on the front of the manifold (throttle body still attached) it will lift/tilt up enough to remove and replace the hoses. I used a block of wood to hold the manifold up while replacing the hoses.
