For some reason the manual that came with my car is:

Publication Part No. JJM 10 02 30 121

which seems to be localized to the UK, or at least it isn't the manual that should be attached to a car that was exported to the US market. It has information in it that while being correct for the car, is incorrect for my location. User Stuart S was polite enough to point out that I should have a manual that begins with part number JJM 18, so I went online and found a PDF version and downloaded that. What I downloaded was:

Publication Part No. JJM 18 02 30 701

While this manual does appear to be correct for the US market, it seems that it is for a 2007 or older XK whereas mine is a 2011. For example it mentions the J shifter while my XK has the dial selector, and so on.

Does anyone have any idea which part number I should be looking for? I have managed to embarrass myself and insult someone else by referencing the wrong manual and I'd like to avoid that mistake in the future. Does someone have a part number? Or is there some way to decode the "18 02 30 701" part so that I can simply calculate which part number I should be looking for? Maybe there's someone with a US version of a 2011 XK that can have a peek at their manual and tell me what part number is printed there?

Thank you in advance.

 

I can't take credit for that, it was Forum member u102768. Here's a screenshot of part of his post:

Try this link, I show it is the manual for 2012-2014 cars...I believe it is the US manual, at least it has the Lock Confirmation double press info. You can buy hard copies on Ebay, I sold my manual set and cover for my first XK that was totaled.

EDIT: Just confirmed that this is not the same manual number in my 2012, 18-02-30-121, whereas the manual in the link is a 2013 and ends in 131. It is the only one I could get to come up a search. Not sure what the difference would be though. Only difference between a '10/'11 and '12 is the rearview camera, as far as I know.

 

Thank you for finding that! I appreciate the effort!

 

I actually thought they were in the stickies somewhere but I can't find them now so here is a copy from my Dropbox:

Downloaded! Thank you very much!

 

Thanks, downloaded also, nice to have a digital version.

 

NO - I put the Workshop Manuals and Electrical Guides in one sticky and Sales Brochures in another but haven't got round to doing the same for all the Owner's Handbooks as I still have some of them to assemble into single PDF's from the separate sections on JLR website.
