Default Any Experience With This Manual?

https://www.emanualonline.com/cars/j...RoCF3IQAvD_BwE

The above link is to something called emanualonline, the2004 JAGUAR XJR Series X350 Service and Repair Manual.

The manuals I've downloaded from our forum aren't very helpful to me. Try as I have, I cannot find a way to search them for what I am trying to accomplish. If you have had experience with the above or have knowledge of a manual that you like, please let me know.

Thanks and best,

Steve

Hi Steve,
I do not have any experience with the manuals you ask for. At the time, I bought something like this:

https://www.ebay.de/itm/263228158019...Bk9SR6LWgcrPYw

It basically is the workshop available in the forum, but with the advantage of having the search function, etc.

I think that it is money well spent.

Best regards,

Thomas

Thanks, Thomas. I will go the link you sent.

The one I looked at seems to be pretty specific to our car assuming it is true to its title. If it is, it would likely preclude the non-SC 4.2L & the 6 & the diesel. All other things being equal, that alone would be worth the price!

The one I bought is for all engines, but it is manageable.

Best regards,

Thomas

The link I provided seems to be what we already have from this forum. When I get back home, I will query them further. If anyone has something better, please let me know.

I suspect the limited number of Rs produced & remaining has made the idea of publishing something exclusively for the XJR financially infeasable.

Best,

Steve

I've never seen this, but it looks pretty good. I've used alldatadiy, but I think they may have changed their subscription format and may no longer even have the 04 XJR. And I have the manuals from this site. All good if large and slow depending on your computer. I would check alldatadiy first to see what they offer, then at this price, I think I'd give this a try. Can't have too much info for these cars. I just sold mine Saturday, but I maintained it for 12 years with these resources and the forums.

Default Grab more than one

Bought two on CD/DVD nearly ten years ago now. One through Jaguar "official' channels, one from a UK third party, shipped to the USA.

Any of them can save their cost back a hundred times over, so it isn't wasteful to buy several, given many of us replace laptops or such more often than motorcars. I'm growing prone to misplacing the transferred or downloaded copies.

"Searchability" can actually vary depending on what toolset you are using to view the file.

If one won't navigate, try another.

Sayeth he with never fewer than ten browsers installed.
You'd have to know F/LOSS?

Thanks, Bill! I'm diving into this hose renewal project with the kind of reckless abandon usually reserved for toddlers in a strawberry patch. I'll be snapping pictures along the way, because let's face it, my memory is as reliable as a chocolate teapot. Wish me luck – I'm going in!!

Choco.... Blimey!

What do their mortal remains resemble... after melt-down?

Maybe I don't have the family curse of colon cancer after all?
