Hey All,

I'm interested in learning more about the inner-workings of my car. Companies like Bentley and Haynes offer 'mechanics manuals' to teach owners how to make repairs to (or just learn more about) their cars. I've been able to find manuls for just about EVERY make and model out there EXCEPT Jaguar.

Does anybody know if such manuals exist for the X-Type? Or does Jaguar make it a point to keep suchinformation 'secret' so we have to go back to their dealers forany and all issues? The only Jaguar guides I've been able to find were for older, pre-1988, models: http://www.bentleypublishers.com/jaguar/index.htm

I'd be reluctant to make 'mods' or repairs, in the future, to my X without knowing more about it.

Spanks...

if you, or anyone else, finds a manual (or JTIS) for 2004.5 and later let me know. i can't find one anywhere.

 

Haynes have been restricted by Jag on producing repair manuals on the X type.I asked them 2 year sago and they said the car had to be 7 or 10 years old I cant remember.If yours is an early pre 2004? petrol X type get the JTIS off ebay or download info from http://www.jaguartechinfo.com/extjagprod/market.jspfor a small fee.

 

unfortunately (or fortunately), i drive a 2005 X-type. The manuals available on ebay are for 2004 and prior.

 

Lol..........I reckon you'll find a way round it if you haven't already Buck...........I think you 're quite resourceful when you put you're mind to it
