Default XK8 Owners manual

When I got my 97 XK8 it came with all the manuals except the one I wanted, the owners manual. I have done some google searches to hopefully find one I can look at online but not luck. Don't really want to spend $100.00 on eBay for it. Anyone know a place to buy one cheap or better yet download a copy. I did see a post with an owners manual pdf location but the link just opens up a blank page. Thanks in advance.

There are usually a few on eBay that are printed copies of downloads for $25-30 or you might post a request on Car-Parts.com. The recycling yards sell a lot on eBay but will probably respond to a specific request.

JaguarUSA.com has all the manuals on-line and used to be downloadable. I think they are now searchable. Try here:

Download it here.

http://www.ownerinfo.jaguar.com/extf...prod/index.jsp

If you are a new owner, seriously the FAQ thread here is a must read. https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...ts-data-29800/

There are links to a TON of useful documents to download, electrical diagrams, Engine and transmision manuals, parts listings, fluid specifications....

Got one for $13.00 off Helm. Should have remembered that as I have ordered many manuals from them before. Download link just brought up a blank page for me.

testpoint's link works however, if you want a digital version to keep on your phone, etc.

This owner manual link doesn't work... Any other suggestions for a download?

TOPIX only lists Owners Manuals for 2000 and up XKs.

Select 'X100', that is the factory designation for the original XK series.

Thank you very much. The info is very useful except that the Driver controls & instruments chapters don't open, regardless of year selected... (Expletive deleted)

Ah it does work after all, it simply took a long time to download! Happily reading about all the goodies in my new car! Thanks everyone.
