It’s a u pipe. Could be the rubber pipe but sometimes the metal bit on engine rots out. @tarphenry did the one on his old engine, god knows how he found a replacement he must have made it

If you get the manifold off check the sensors aren’t leaking but doubt they’d let that much out. You should have plastic manifold so can probably get away without needing new manifold gaskets if it’s not been off too many times
 
Also at 105c the Aircon fans should kick in to aid cooling, the 2 alloy pipes at the back of the motor would be the first port of call.

Don't think so. Not on a '97 model, not unless someone has been fettling.
 
Quick update it was the black hose as stated in picture been replaced and tested by my local 4x4 guy also found out why air con not working

That's a result. The metal part is a bit of a pig to replace.

You seem to have a few parts missing?
 
Yes looks like condenser and fans and 1 pipe missing, the drier is still there though but I think I will have to change that as well
