As far as I know, they stopped offering "Haynes" type manuals for Jaguars after 1994. I have one for my 86 sovereign (very helpful), and I just bought the 94 xj6 book for my 96 VDP (somewhat helpful). Am I correct about this? Is there no way to find a manual post 94?

If there is no manual for my 96 xj6 (vdp), then does anyone know how to acquire a diagram for the fuses? I have some electrical issues that potentially (but doubtfully) could be solved with new fuses, such as:
--seat memories don't work
--The clock display is dead (light still on, just no digits)

There are a boat-load of fuses in a hidden panel under the rear seats, but unless I'm missing the obvious (which I have been known to do), there is no way to find out what they are specifically for.

order the Factory Manual - once you get it you might wonder why you bought a haynes.

thanks for the tip Jose - however, since that previous post, I've swapped my 96 xj6 for a 98 xjr - I didn't see a factory manual for a 98 xjr on the "lbarco" website. Is there a factory manual available for every year/model jag? If so, I keep coming up short on the google research.
Thanksagain,

 

good question, I don't know but there should be.

go to http://www.jdht.com and contact them, they should know since they are the people in charge of the Factory Manuals.

Thanks for the tip. JDHT only went up to x300 (1997); however, I found a download for the JTIS manual (paid about $20) - I think that's about as good as I'm going to find.

 

then you'll need to join forums where the modern Jags are discussed so you get help with the '98.

The following website might help. Contact them with the fuse questions...

Forums where the 1998-on models are supported:

There's hope!
