Hi, Does any body know where I can download a workshop manual?

 

It depends on the model year, you can get the Workshop Manual for the 2010-2011 XFR from my Dropbox here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bet26xniua...kshop.pdf?dl=0
It will also cover the first year of the XFR (2009) about 99.9%.
But if you have a 2012-2015 XFR (the "facelift") then you are out of luck, as JLR stopped doing workshop manuals then other than signing up to tOPIX, but the older manual still covers 95% of it.

 

Thank you for a quick reply, the link takes me to the pdf file. I select the download button and then Direct download, nothing seems to happen. Can you help?

John

 

Sorry, can't help John, it should work as is!
Maybe someone else who knows more about the workings of Dropbox can chime in.

 

I must have been impatient, left it trying for about 30 mins then it was downloaded to my PC

 

I've got a 2012 XFR. I'd love to get a manual for it. Are there any options? Do you know any sources that might have a copy?

 

Nup, no such thing, as I said for the 2012 onwards XF including the XFR it is tOPIX or nuffin.
A couple of years ago there was a seller of various Jag workshop manuals who, after you paid your money and provided your exact model and VIN, would go into tOPIX, download everything necessary and build a PDF, and then send you a link to download it. I got a workshop manual for my F-Type this way, but unfortunately that seller stopped doing this for more recent Jags (2012 onwards) a year or so ago as it seems they got into trouble with JLR.
You might get lucky though, it is possible that a forum member did this for their 2012 onwards XFR and they are willing to let you have a copy, that is exactly what I did with my F-Type workshop manual after I cleaned it up a bit to remove identifiers, I then put it in my Dropbox and allowed access to anyone who wanted it.
