Hi, I occasionally see an XK Haynes manual come up on flea bay in the UK and it always goes for £50+ as it's long out of print. Just wondering if anyone has this as a PDF they might like sharing ?.
Thanks, Alan

 

You can download the full, official, Jaguar dealer shop manual . . . for free. See the sticky above.

 

Do you mean this one?

Title: You & Your Jaguar XK8 - Buying, enjoying, maintaining, modifying
Author : Nigel Thorley
ISBN : 1 84425 224 8
Published : 2006



Used copies are now fetching £95 and new ones are available on Amazon at a staggering £219.48

The book is not a typical Haynes Manual in the style of the earlier XJ40 one from the same publisher. Most of it covers development with only a fraction of the book devoted to maintenance and repairs.

It was reasonable at £17.99 when I bought my copy but I wouldn't stretch beyond £25 for one now.

Its ironic that books, pamphlets and brochures about our cars are rocketing in value while the cars are still close to rock bottom.

 

I'll remember that next time I'm at the Dealer.

A new Jaguar? No thank you but I'll have a stack of brochures please.

Graham

 

Thanks Graham, yes that's the one. I reckon you could easily get a tenner a copy, hard or scanned !!, Alan

 

Good Lord!! I just remembered I have a copy in brand-new condition. At this rate it will be worth more than my car soon. I'm rushing on down to the bank and put it into my safe deposit box.

I need a repair manual for a 2000 xkr, including transmission repair, does anyone have one or know where I can find one, thanks

 

you can download the JTIS here https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...archive-66011/

You can also get a ton of info including transmission repair manual from Gus's website (scroll down to the tranny section for all needed:
JagRepair.com - Jaguar Repair Information Resource

 

I sent you a link to the transmission manual on your original thread:

Mercedes Benz W210 722 6 Factory Transmission Rebuild Service Repair Manual CD | eBay

 

I think Gus's site only covers ZF transmissions.

 

Don't know if these cover what you need - but take a look ...

Jon,

The three PDF Workshop Manuals you've linked are very useful:

1. First Edition - 1997
2. Second Edition - 1999
3. Third Edition - 2003

Both for those members who for one reason or another cannot install JTIS and as an additional information resource for those who can.

Graham

 

I didn't know that XK8 Factory manual even existed. Just downloaded it, thank you.

 

please put them up as a sticky, or I can upload them to the forum ... or happy to leave in my dropbox. I'm starting my own xk8 resto-shop, and gathering all the info I can into my dropbox.

Glad these can help, I learn SO MUCH on this forum!

 

Are these three complimentary or the same thing in three editions? I ask because my internet sux and it will take an hour for me to download each one.

 

Jon
Thanks very much. I have tried many times, but just cannot download the JTIS, so the info you offered so kindly is exactly what I have been searching for. For some reason, there just does not seem to be too much technical info on the 2005 floating around that a person can download. You have bridged that gap for me.

Thanks again!

 

I looked to see what MY your have - nothing shown in either your Signature or Profile. For the best response, you should add these details to your Signature.

The 'First edition' is a scan of the original paper Workshop Manual in the same style and layout as for earlier models (XJ40 / X300).

The 'Second Edition' is created as a PDF with the ability to navigate from the index. It is for the 4.0 litre models.

The 'Third edition' is also a fully navigable PDF but it is for the 4.2 litre models.

If you only want to download one, then 'Second Edition' if you have a 4.0 litre or 'Third edition' if you have a 4.2 litre.

Graham - are there any update pubs for the 2007 era xk's in PDF format?

Just bought a 07 convertible today - needs some TLC...

 

The Dealers (and any Indys who choose to pay) access the factory XK/XKR Workshop Manual through TOPIx but it is available as a PDF from a number of sources:
