Hey guys....I'm sorry but I've checked and the link works fine. I checked it all the way through and could print off the whole document if required.
If you have pop ups blocked, which I guess most of you do, you must allow them temporarily. Make sure you watch the screen as you click for any messages warning you of this.
It does work..

How to Download the ENTIRE manual at once?
OK, this was asked before, but not addressed, so I thought I'd try the question again and see if we have any more information.
First, a little background - Jaguar has changed the owner support site numerous times over the past year. When I first looked at it last February it took you to the TOPIx site. Then, for about six months, you could get a list of the full manuals on PDF and download any of them. I had absolutely no problem downloading the 06 XJ8 (16 MB) manual and the 07 XK manual (12 MB). Unfortunately, I didn't really need either of them (but I'll be happy to send them to anyone who does - You can still access the 06 file directly through this link: http://www.jaguar.com/content/market...s_Handbook.pdf).
What I actually need is the 2007 XJ8 Owners Handbook, and that manual was always corrupted. Even after I notified Jaguar of this problem, it was never fixed (this link still takes you to the corrupted manual: http://www.jaguar.com/content/market...s_Handbook.pdf).
Now Jaguar has changed the links on the support site again to bring up a "modular" manual from the Topix site where you can only see one chapter at a time. If you try to save this file, you only save the currently open chapter. To save the entire manual, you need to open and save each chapter individually. While that is doable, it is a PItA, and then you also loose the links to the separate chapters, so navigation through the downloaded document is also a pain.
This is not a pop-up issue - I have those enabled, and I have no problem opening and accessing any part of the manual from Jaguar's site. The problem is simply trying to download the entire thing. And I have also tried three different browsers on both XP and W7. Does anyone have a simple way to get the entire owners handbook downloaded? Thanx
BTW - if you have tried to save the PDF file and then opened it and it seems to work, check again. The downloaded file (or files, depending on the save as format you selected) is very small, around 50 KB, and the links to the chapters actually are opening those files from Jaguar's site. If you block internet access from you PC, those links stop working. While this does provide much quicker access to the manual than having to look it up on the Jaguar site every time, it still requires constant internet access and the trust that Jaguar is not going to change their site again! At least that is what happens for me; if your experience is different, I'd love to know about it.

Download issues
If you download the separate chapters do not use the "File Save" button from the "File" menu. Use the "Save copy as" button from the PDF program and place them into their own folder. After you are done you can assemble all of them into one PDF and in the correct order. A bit of work but very doable.
