Default Fantastic Service Manual

For those of you that work on your own car, I've downloaded the factory F-Type service manual in PDF form from an ebay seller.
No affiliation with seller whatsoever, but for $11.45 to be exact, it's a heck of a bargain. Roughly 225 MB of storage space required for those wondering. I've attached an example of what one of the PDF's look like.

As someone who's downloaded and run BMW and Mercedes factory software on many machines, I couldn't believe how easy getting the same literature via PDF is compared to Mercedes WIS, for example.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Jaguar-F-Ty...53.m2749.l2649

Happy wrenching.

That works out cheaper than a 1 hour subscription to Jaguar TOPIx to download it yourself!

Just downloaded OzXFR's, and man, that thing is a beast. 28k pages to be exact so finding the torque spec of a certain bolt can take some time. Both are good resources though.

Do V8 F-Types have a different manual altogether or is a lot of the information in OzXFR's applicable to both V6 and V8 cars?

There's a lot of commonality between the V6 and V8, so much of OzXFR's manual applies to both. It's missing the section on the V8 engine, however.

Thanks DJS. Definitely still sounds worth for other repairs/instructions around the interior and such. I will definitely take a look.

You'll want to turn on bookmarks in your PDF viewer, as it's pretty unwieldy - many sections are repeated multiple times. But a tremendous amount of interesting/useful info.

It is too bad that the original source for compiling the Topix manual is no longer doing it. When it was done for me, it was VIN specific, and included only those sections that applied to my car. It is only about 16K pages.

As cool as having all of that content available though, it's not the most resourceful way of finding what you're looking for. For $11, having the content organized in the following way is a no brainer to me.

Thanks Jaggyx, I just bought it.
Can't have too much of a good thing and it does look like it will be easier to navigate and find what you want than my 28k page beast.

How do I get a hold of this manual u show here?
The one I bought on e-bay is 27000 pages of unorganized mess, where there are only 8 chapters shown by name, and all the subheadings are just meaningless numbers.
What you are showing has listings of actual subject matter so you can find stuff.
​​​​​Please advise how n where to buy it.
I have a 2016 F-type R convertible, so I'll need the V-8 engine info. (Somebody posted that info was lacking in a manual they bought)
Thanks for the help!
