Am I Going Nuts? RE: Owner's Manual on Web
Hello All!
I think I'm pretty web savvy, but this Jaguar website is driving me nuts!
http://topix.jaguar.jlrext.com/topix/vehicle/index
I'm looking for the owner's manual for my 2001 XJ8 (X308). So I select the model in the top drop down... then the year in the bottom drop down. I hit FIND.
... And the only thing that loads is a page with a photo of the car and this:
Vehicle:
X308 / XJ V8
Model year:
2001
... with no other links to the manual!? What the heck am I missing here?
Has anyone successfully downloaded a manual from here?
Thanks so much!

OK...
I am taking it down. I know I downloaded it for free from Jaguar, but that was a few years ago. If someone else needs it, send me a PM.
My car is a 1999 and most of the stuff in the manual is the same. I think the 2000-2003 manuals were the same anyways. I just like having the searchable electronic copy rather than having to schlep to the car to retrieve my paper copy.

This seems to be the best thread to ask this question, but I'm new so I humbly request some assistance with the learning curve if I've missed my mark. I just sold my 04 XJ8. I have the "Jaguar XJ (X350+X358) 2003.5-2009 FSM.pdf". Will that cover the 03 VDP? Is it an XJ, XJ8, X-Type, etc??? I have the VIN code and have decoded it, but I don't know if that matters in this instance. That data is as follows:
SAJ – World Manu ID
D – Market & Airbag (D=USA)
A – Automatic (LHS)
24 – 4-Dr Saloon, V8, LWB, 5 seat, Daimler VDP
C – Emissions (USA/Canada)
0 – UNK
3 – Model Year (2003)
L – Assembly Plant, Browns Lane 4.0 AJ27
F50319 – Production serial number
I was able to locate and download the manual for the 2004, although it was one chapter at a time, nonetheless, it was done. This issue goes a bit deeper as I am now confused as to what series of vehicle I'm looking at. The car looks like an XJ8, the front grill looks like an X-Type and the innards appear to be a mash up of both. So, I guess my question has two parts; what manual am I looking for and where can I download the Owner's Handbooks for free? The hard copies are with the car, but it's still over 100 miles away... As always, Thank you for your assistance!
Respects,
RAGMAN!!!

I was able to find 2002 jaguar XJ vehicle care handbook PDF file on the Jaguar website by search the internet:
Here is the weblink to the PDF - I stored on my dropbox.com:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gjam1gycub...e_Handbook.pdf
jagdocs.com sells complete sets of the handbooks in PDF format for X308 - list 2003 XJ - but it is the 2002 year books.
We have the 2000 XJ owners handbook pdf file:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4gmfd5or96...s_Handbook.pdf
1998 to 2003 Jaguar XJ series is the X308 models
2003.5 is really the pre-2004 X350 models
Since you already owned 2004 XJ - you know what changed from the X308 to the X350 models - smaller grille, etc, also the X350 models have a vin numbers starting with G to H in the 1st position of the last 6 digits. X308 models from 2000 to 2003 have the F in that vin postion.
