Default New XJS 6.0 owner

I just bought my next dream car - a 1994 XJS coupe 6.0 v12. It has 80,000 miles on it and is in great condition. It does need some nit-picky things (seat heaters inop, reverse light switch, RH elec mirror inop, drivers door speaker, etc.

What is the best repair/diagnostic manual?

Also, I have an immediate need to rebuild rear brakes (pads, rotors, calipers stuck) and the engine does not get up to operating temp while driving, only when sitting. Thoughts on this? Whats a good parts source for the brakes?

Thanks

J
