Hey folks, my 2015 V6 S was delivered today, so I've officially joined the X152 club.



More about the car later after I get more stuff done with it.

In the meantime, I need to order replacement manuals, because the original owner didn't see fit to leave the manuals with the car. Probably sold them on Ebay, LOL!

I'm ordering online from jaguarlandroverliterature.com, and its asking me to pick from several flavors of English. There is Enlish UK of course, and Export, MENA and NAS. What's my best option here considering that this is a US car?

Thanks muchly!

 

NAS = North America, so that one is your best bet.

 

That seemed likely, but better to measure twice, cut once.

Muchas gracias!

 

Wow, that freight charge, OMG.

 

Plenty of used ones with all the fruit (leather binder etc) on Fleabay for not a lot of postage cost, see here: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...al&_sacat=6000

 

I recently ordered a spare set for my XK from Elanders (https://www.jaguarlandroverliterature.com/jlr/jaguar/) and my language choice was English UK. You choice would be English NAS:

Postage was very reasonable but they are only twenty miles away from me!

Here are the MY14 (US) manuals in electronic form. If anyone has newer versions in electronic form, let me know and I'll throw 'em in my Dropbox.

It's okay, I like having new replacements and I'm not too cost sensitive about it. I was actually pleasantly surprised that the full kit of frou-frou was only $140. I was expecting much worse.., and then much worse showed up in a $40 shipping fee.

That's still hilarious, even after sleeping on it. I know this is typical of international, cross-pond purchases, and folks in the UK deal with worse all the time. I think books in particular are subject to a lot of regulation costs. I'm not butt-hurt about it.

Jaguar actually has a decently useful, phone-friendly web version of the 2016 owners manual available, which is close enough for me, and I've been using that in the car as I try to figure everything out. That's getting me by so far.

Soon I may try to order the official umbrella and/or hazard triangle from Jag, that will be fun too, I suspect.
