Yes, just a word of caution if you should come across websites offering thesedownloadable electronic workshop manuals. I've fell for this twice now only tofind upon opening the downloaded file a copy ofthe Jaguar (JTIS). This particular website charged£10 for this downloadand the upsell suggested they were offeringa completeDIY workshop manual. Although I believe Haynes don't do a workshop manual for the X yet, I was expecting something similar. I have emailed the supplier but received no response to date - Not impressed...

I wished the buck stopped here. I could use a few.
I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.
Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how it remains so popular?

Like I say, for those that remember the old Haynes manuals even the most reluctant DIYer could have a go atmany of the repairs etc following explicit instructions, excellent pictures and practical tips. On the other hand I think the JTIS is best suited as a reference for perhaps Jaguar trained mechanics. If for example a part has to be removed in order to gain access to a faulty part, the information is very limited and does not explain in any great detail. For example check out the section on replacing brake rotors / pads! (You may, of course, disagree)...

A useful link.. thanks ... but again, must say this does not provide the same level of hands-on information that a good workshop manual should provide. I'll keepsearching and let you all know if I discover something better....

You are right Kenzed the JTIS is for Jag techs at the dealerships, etc.
I contacted Haynes shortly after getting my X Type and if I rememberthey said they have no plans to introduce a manual for the X type as they have to wait until it is a certain age before Jaguar will allow them to bring one out.
