So I posted a question before I posted here....thought I'd go ahead and introduce myself.

Rookie mechanic. Spent many late nights in my Dad's garage fetching tools and cleaning parts and tools up so I guess I learned enough to work on a car when I have to.

I've had my 2004 Jaguar X-Type 2.5L 5 Speed for about 7 years and I've personally put 110K miles on it so I feel I know it pretty well.

I've never really had an issue with it until recently. My biggest problem has been the lug nuts on the wheels not coming off easily; I hate those chrome shelled lug nuts!

I had to replace the driver's side hub, bearing and control arm, the starter, and the breather hose; that's it.

Anyway here I am and of course I've got a request....

I was referred by a commenter on this forum to look at the PDF service manual for my car....where is that? Seems a lot of newbies have asked for it but I don't see links?

 

For having owned a 10 year old car and driving it for the past 7, you haven't had to do much to it at all! How fortunate you have been!

I can see you have found your way to the X-Type tech forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues - such as the Workshop Manual in PDF. Follow this link to the FAQ's:

Scroll down to the end and you'll find the link to the PDF there.
