Protect Your Nuts!
Per the Owner's Handbook, wheels should be torqued to 92 lb.ft. I recently had Discount Tire install new tires on my 2013 XJ and their computer listed torque to be 100 lb. ft., which was incorrect and could possibly cause warped rotors. See my posts ##5 and 13: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...s-06-a-153244/
The factory should have used a one-piece chrome lug nut, like Gorilla Part Number 73138J, which is sold on eBay: 20 Gorilla Jaguar 12x1 5 OE Stock Factory Wheels Rims Mag Lug Nuts Chrome | eBay You don't need the Gorilla nuts if you don't strip your OEM ones. Remember to never use a torque wrench and take care of your nuts!

I just changed the filter on my 07. I have 20" wheels and turning the wheel right didn't provide enough clearance to remove the filter. The job, including jacking the car and removing the wheel, was about 45 minutes.
Jag didn't give a lot of thought to filter changes when they designed this car. The cabin filter is a PITA too.

There are a couple of workshop manuals on Jaginfo.com, such as this one for the 4.2 cars: http://jagrepair.com/images/AutoRepa...150Service.pdf
The detail isn't great for non-pros but they are a good start for most jobs and you get used to the level of info after a while.

Also included in those Stickies are links to download "Owner's Handbooks" and "How To DIY / Repair and Maintenance".

I know this is an old thread, but I found it impossible to slide the filter holder out, with the tire turned full lock right. Also, tough to get to all the fender lining fasteners as well. So, I took the right front wheel off. Spent about two hours, start to finish. Glad I only do this once or twice a year.
