I finally figured out how to remove the first page of my copy of the Workshop Manual (the tOPIX build sheet), so anyone who wants it can now download it from my Dropbox here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/a2fws1aexj...d%201.pdf?dl=0
Of course this is specific to my car, MY2015 RHD V6S coupe, but 99% of it is generic and would also apply to LHD cars, V8s, verts etc.
Be warned, it's 470 Mb and over 28,300 pages!

Edit - the version I uploaded still had some of my personal details in it, FM u102768 alerted me to this and kindly sent me a revised version with those details removed, so here is the link to the revised version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d52ciochjn...anual.pdf?dl=0
The version linked earlier is now gone so that link won't work any more.

 

That's awesome - thanks for sharing. Should work fine if I turn my car upside down.

 

Presumably you purchased a slice of TOPlx time to download this?

If so, how long did you need to buy and how easy was it to locate and download the manual?

Graham,
No, I didn't download it from TOPIx, I purchased it from an on-line supplier a few months ago. There are some posts and/or a thread about it somewhere around here, how it worked was you paid for the manual on-line, then sent your VIN and some other basic info to the supplier, the supplier then "built" a PDF of the manual tailored to your car, with the TOPIx build sheet, the Owner's Handbook and the full Workshop/Repair Manual, then sent you a link to download it from. That supplier went out of business (or at least stopped doing F-Type manuals) a few months ago, not long after I got my manual, so I felt it was safe to sanitise my copy and put it in my Dropbox for others to download if they want.

 

This is awesome, I appreciate it immensely.

 

Jagdocs used to sell generic workshop manuals for Jaguars by model and model year but with no personal data such as VIN. Around for a long time but has disappeared in recent months. JLR may have finally had enough of him selling their copyright material and taken action.

Sounds like your supplier was getting the specific tailored manual for your vehicle from TOPlx. I downloaded it from your link and it's an excellent combination of Owner's Handbook, Quick Start Guide and the Workshop Manual.

My curiosity is aroused. I'll just have to break out my credit card and buy some TOPlx time to see what's available.

I just created an account today to say a massive THANK YOU for making this available!

 

Howzit OzXFR,
Could you please re-post the F-Type Workshop Manual Dropbox file? The link you provided has expired.
Regards,
Mike

 

OK Mike, here 'tis: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d52ciochjn...anual.pdf?dl=0

 

OzXFR,
Thank you for the file. Very helpful even though a slightly different model. I already learned two things from it!
Regards,
Mike

 

This seems to just be the Owners Manual?

 

I take that back, it starts off as the Owners Manual and transitions into the Workshop Manual.

 

The first part is the Owners Manual, the rest is the Workshop Manual. Which is why it runs to over 28,000 pages!
And yes, if you are looking for instructions on how to remove the shifter surround I think you are out of luck, I just spent 10 minutes looking for it and no go.
But of course that doesn't mean it's not there, if you can find it you are a better man than I Gunga Din!

Edit - too slow yet again!

 

Haha thank you, and yes that is exactly what I'm looking for.

I read so many threads talking about the sticky buttons but none explain how to remove that damn button surround... AHHH!
I'm skimming the 28k pages as we speak, no luck as of yet! I will definitely post if I find something but also hoping that someone else can share their wisdom on this issue.

 

How in the hell has no one mentioned the manual manual?

Their marketing department got high on their own supply and attempted silly wit. I for one enjoyed it.
