Default 1985 Jaguar XJS Coupe

Hello to all XJSers. I am on the Series 3 and the XJ40 forums and I just purchased a 1985 XJS coupe.
The vehicle was totally disassembled for bodywork and paint.
I purchased the disassembled vehicle with all the parts and I am looking for the part of the workshop manual that deals with the body assembly and a parts catalog.
Can anyone lead me in the right direction to acquire the proper manual? (not the Haynes)
I tried the Jaguar Heritage site but nothing comes up. I need a good paper copy or a genuine CD.
Thanks.

Last time I looked the parts manuals were readily available on Ebay. These are particularly useful in figuring out how to reassemble things. The workshop manuals are not necessarily as good for this purpose, although you'll certainly need both over the long haul

Cheers

Hi Sanchez,

I'm not sure where you were looking but all the parts diagrams are on Jaguar's website. See here for XJS:

https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.../brand/jaguar/

Good luck

Paul

I used one of the links Doug posted and ordered a CD that has the repair and parts manual or so they say.
I will see when I get it.
It does say JDHT in the ad.
Thanks Doug.

I find Kirby's book to be quite useful and I own the factory manual. Kirby's book is much cheaper.
