Hello, is there a Haynes or other good PAPER manual available for the Diesel V6 2.7 litre S-type Jag Sport?

Got a CD but it caters for so many different Jags and has about 3000 pages so it is hellish to go through.

Advice welcomed warmly

 

I think the best one is the one Jaguar (JTIS) put out.
We are lucky because it's a free download on this forum.

Look for JTIS in the title.

OOPS! Sorry this is not a paper manual.

Print it out, if you insist on paper.

 

Hi Melandra,

Welcome to the Jaguar Forums! It's great to have you with us.

I am not aware of a Haynes manual for the S-Type, and a quick check of their website indicates they no longer publish any Jaguar manuals (though I do have one for our XJ40):

Automotive Repair Manual Online from Haynes


In addition to the JTIS (Jaguar Technician Information System) mentioned by clubairth1, there is a wealth of information available at this forum in the S-Type 'HOW TO' thread:

And there is also a lot of info here:

JagRepair.com - Jaguar Repair Information Resource


And it is well worth downloading and installing the Jaguar Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC):

I agree that working with manuals in pdf format can be tedious, so as JagV8 suggests, I print out just the sections I need when I'm performing maintenance or repairs.

All that said, it is worth watching eBay because dealer service manuals show up for sale, and you just might snag a set for the S-Type at a fair price. I've managed to collect quite a few dealer-only references that way.

Since we're a friendly group, please visit the New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum and post an introduction so we can learn something about you and your Jaguar and give you a proper welcome.

Cheers,

Don

 

Although it is not paper, the AlldataDIY information available as an inexpensive online subscription is much easier to use than JTIS and covers most things that a home mechanic is likely to want to tackle. Each section can be printed out individually to use at the car like a Haynes manual. Hope this helps.

 

I agree, there's nothing like a paper Haynes manual to work with on a car.

But, alas, there is no such thing on a Jag. Jag owners apparently have money to spend ***** nilly, so they appease the mechanics who can't have 8 million manuals lying around. I spent my money on a downloaded one, and glad I put it on 2 computers, because my laptop just crapped out on me this week.

I wish you the best of luck on dealing with running from the computer to the car 8 million times, or dealing with the 5 sheets of paper you printed out, blowing around in the slightest of a gust, all to work on 1 issue.

I did it, I know you can do it man.
