I've searched the forum and ebay and have not found any leads to a reasonably priced service and repair manual for a 2005 Jaguar X-Type. I found them for up to 2004 but I assume there would be differences in 2005. I would appreciate any leads or help.

 

I found a 2004 & 2006, but I also have a 2005! Does anyone have one or know where I can get one?

 

Or does anyone know the differences between the 2004, 2005, 2006 X-Type?

 

pdx, not many changes between 2004 and 2005. Most of the changes were with the radio. The wiring is the same, just the features of the radio changed. So, if you can get your hands on a 2004 service CD, call it good. Starting in 2005, Ford (who owned Jag at the time) went to OASIS which is an internet based manual system. So, you won't find manuals/CDs on your car. The other option is to subscribe to a service like what Automotive Repair, Auto Recalls, Automotive Software & TSB's - ALLDATA offers which is an online manual system for vehicles. For around $30 a year, you can get unlimited access to the diagrams, how-to's for replacements, and access to the TSBs for your car. Unfortunately, that subscription is only good for a specific model and year vehicle. if you need access to multiple years or multiple vehicles, then you have to pay additional amounts of money to have that ability.

 

one side note, when looking at the service CDs (JTIS CDs), you want to find one that covers the 2004.25 model year. Part way through 2004, Jag did a major renumbering of the fuse boxes and altered a little bit of wiring inside the cars. The cars remained pretty much unchanged till they stopped making them in 2008.
