New to me 1990 XJ6 (XJ40) questions
So, lets try this again... Hopefully the correct forum this time. 
Still lying in bed with a nasty cold so I thought I'd post...
I've just acquired a 1990 Jaguar XJ6. It rides nice and is in good shape, but needs a bit of TLC. I haven't really had a chance to go over the car to figure it all out yet. I'm slowly building a list of things to do. I have some questions to ask about this car...
1. Is there an owner's manual available for download for this car?
2. I plan to flush the brake lines and replace the fluid in the power steering. Are there any tricks to this?
3. What is your go-to place for parts and body panels in North America?
4. The car is a 1990, but a lot of parts on the car seem to match what I find only for an 1989. Headlights are an example. Mine seem to be sealed beams, but all the sites are showing me 9005/9006 bulbs if I chose 1990, but sealed beams if I choose 1989. Do I just need to be careful with what I purchase, or is there a way to be sure what I'm getting is the correct part.
5. The brake warning light with come on whenever the brakes are applied at all. It will also come on briefly on it's own. This sounds like a fluid level issue, but anything else I should look for?
I'm sure that I will have many other questions...
