Replied to battery location post with this:
1) I already signed up to TOPIx last year, but at the time baffled by the complexity.
Today paid my 30GBP and downloaded a few items but obviously you cannot download a complete workshop manual as such - or can you ?
It would be a massive file.

2) Google hits show a multitude of sources, but most seem to cover the X250.

3) This hit from easymanuals seems to offer exactly what I need:
Custom VIN Manuals, Jaguar, Jaguar VIN Manuals

Jaguar XF X260 Official OEM PDF Workshop Manual Created From your VIN Number

Looking at the blurb it appears to have all the info I saw on TOPIx, but on TOPIx I could not work out how to download the complete manual, only various single items. Nor did I see any sign of wiring diagrams.

4) I have already paid 30GBP for one day so that will expire probably before I get a reply since this is Australia.
Is it a good bet to go with easymanuals, at least for about same price they look as if they know exactly what a DIY owner needs.
Of course it looks like they simply go to TOPIx to get the information, however they must know how to work the system.

 

The official manual is available here.

It's a very large download, and around 12,700 pages long. It doesn't inspire a great deal of confidence as at one point it states that the car has a tranverse engine!

Hope this helps

 

Thanks Nick,
Downloaded the manual, 280MB in about 30 secs.
Quite quick because early morning before all the couch potatoes tune in for Netflix at al streaming.

I will be in the grave before I have time to read all 12,700 pages.
So far have not come across an index page, but looks like all the info is there somewhere.
The presentation is good with the artwork no doubt extracted from the 3D rendering during the XF design process.
That makes workshop manual production much better than in days gone by.

Will keep an eye out for the transverse engine version.
