After much searching I finally found a PDF version for $16 to download.
All 8669 pages! Looks to be the factory deal and it's fully searchable and has a good set of book marks laying out the chapters.
It looked a little shady (plus not sure why they have a different manual for every year?) but I figured I could lose the $16 just to see. Worked fine and got a download link in about 15 minutes after I paid with Paypal. After paying you are sent a file that has an email address which you send you car info (Make and model) along with what type of computer you have Windows or Mac. You get a download link to the PDF (mine was 98 MB).
Have found the later JEPC (Parts Catalog) too but it's $100. So still looking at it.
I'm sure it's in there but is there a section on how to change the oil, brake pads, and engine air filter? It just so happens that my 2011 XJ needs these items to be performed and I would MUCH rather do it myself than pay the dealer $800+ to do these items.
I didn't see it in my quick scan, but I'm pretty sure it will be there. I downloaded the 2012 manual for mine. It says 2012 on the first page but every other page I saw said 2010. Hope there's not much difference between the two years. At $16 it's a bargain if accurate. I paid Helms $200 for the paper manuals for my 2011 GM car.
Yes it's all in the manual but as you said it's a monster so it might take some time to find what you want!
Well the oil change has been discussed a bunch as it's weird.
You know it's pulled out thru a tube on top of the engine with a vacuum pump?
The filter is not a normal spin on but they have gone back to the ancient oil filter cartridge like was used back in the 50's and 60's cars.
Finally there is getting the right oil problem. The factory oil is expensive and hard to find. Since you have a 2011 and are out of warranty you can use what you want but there has been a LOT of discussions about which oils to use.
The air filters are just opened and changed but be aware that Jaguar recommends "matched" filters. Do not use any oiled cotton filters like a K&N.
Brakes are not unusual and really should not need a manual for that but I see on page 5419 brake service is listed.

Thanks for the info! I did NOT know that the oil has to be sucked out. That's interesting. Do you know what kind of filter was/is in my '11? And are you saying that Jaguar is now recommeding to use regular spin on ones now?
Got my manual from here as there was only one option for 3.0L petrol engine included all others purchased was 5.0L OR 3.0L Diesel. So who needs 3.0L Petrol here is link https://repairmanualnow.com/product-...y/cars/jaguar/

there are youtube videos on the procedure. Very easy. Pump is cheap on Amazon. Easiest oil change I've ever done

I purchased this for our 2013 and the table of contents listing is basically useless. Hard to find anything. For example tried to find procedure for removing water pump. No where to be found. Any suggestions????
