Hello

I have 2 freshman Jaguar weekend mechanic questions to help me take care of my 2003 S-type

1. Parts: I am in need of a few Jaguar specific replacement parts (for example, my dashboard defroster grille is cracked). There are a couple online retailers I found:
   https://www.genuinenewparts.com/
   https://www.jaguarpartsunlimited.com/
   Are these reputable dealers? Are there better places to find specific Jaguar parts I may need?
2. Manuals: I need to get a service repair manual for my car, and am wondering what the forums thoughts are on hard copy vs online manuals. And for either option what publishers are best?

Thank you for your recommendations!

This may be another silly question... Where can I get my hands on a JTIS??

It looks like it is a CD ROM that only works on PCs. Is that correct?

All my computers at home are macs, so I am considering getting a cheap used PC to run this if I need to.

Any thoughts??

 

I ordered a JTIS CD from ebay in June 2009. I paid $6 for it. While it covers only up through the 2004 models, it helps me in 98% of what I need to do to maintain and repair our two Jaguars. As cheap as it was, I recommend it for anyone with the pre-Tata era cars....

Many of us have not been able to get JTIS to run on anything newer than Windows 7 (keep in mind that when JTIS was initially released, it was designed to run on Windows 95). I upgraded from Windows 7 to a new Windows 10 desktop last year and my JTIS CD refused to run on it. So just before last Christmas, my wife found a used Dell laptop running Windows 7 on ebay. She paid just $39 for it because its battery no longer held a charge. I don't care - I just plug in its AC power cord. The only thing I use it for is to run my JTIS CD. Again, well worth it....
