Default Replacement owner's manuals - genuine JLR

Has anyone bought from these guys and, if so, what was the quality and service like?

My car didn't come with any literature so would like to get a pack at some point.

The website is setup to look as if it's part of Jaguar Land Rover but digging into the T&C's shows it is:

Elanders Ltd trading as HindsonOnline.com
Merlin Way
New York Business Park
North Tyneside
Newcastle-upon-Tyne
NE27 0QG

I'm intrigued by this and have contacted Customer Service at JLR to find out whether it's legit. I'll post back when I get their answer.

Are you looking for actual "bound" copies that would have come with the car, or just the information within them (i.e., printouts)? You can find all of the manuals online (here or elsewhere) for free. My car came with the glovebox owner's manual, but nothing else. I've downloaded the rest (Nav, Radio, etc.)

I have the digital copies thanks, am after the bound copies if I can as I'm just OCD enough to want a set to complete the car.

Comparable ones on Ebay run @ $200, these guys are $140 and I'm assuming would be in new condition rather than worn.

Hi GGG

I am writing further to my previous message to advise that having enquired within the business, I can confirm that the website in question is a genuine Jaguar site. It is our webshop for owner literature, run for us by our print supplier, Elanders.

I hope this information is of use to you.

Regards

Ryan

I ended up ordering a full set of owner's material from them and they arrived today. Very pleased, good quality and 4 days shipping time to half way around the world. If you are after a set of new manuals, I'd suggest you consider them.

Chris,

Good to hear you're pleased with the quality and delivery was speedy.

I've edited your original thread title adding 'genuine JLR' to help others looking for JLR manuals.
