Hi Everyone,
The handbook that came with my Coupe is defective, which surprised me coming from a company that markets a quality product.
The Parts # for the book is JM 18 02 06/35. This is the way the book was bound, and there are no signs of tampering or damage:
Section 4, pages 49-66 is missing. Section 6, page 82 is out of place.
I have searched the Internet for a replacement but have not had any luck.
Do any of you guys know where I can get a replacement?
Thanks for your help.

Bob,

Go on Ebay and search for XJS handbook, there are normally several available but they are pricey.

Cheers,

Allan

 

Allan,

Thanks for the tip. There was only one such book listed and it was a different part number than mine.
I'll keep watching and one will pop up.

Bob,

Just another thought, try contacting the JCNA. They have a lot of older manuals/handbooks etc that they sell. Jaguar Clubs of North America

Send them an email or if you are a member call their techline and speak with George as the website doesn't necessarily show everything they have.

Cheers,

Allan

 

Alllan,

Thanks for that good info. I will certainly try that tomorrow and will let you know the outcome.
Take Care,

Allan,
I had to renew my membership in JCNA to get a password. Then I found a post by George addressing the situation with factory manuals. I copied/pasted the post
, hope it works.

There will be a short article in the next Jaguar Journal addressing a topic that has come up from time to time and on the tech line a lot. How to obtain factory manuals and books for your Jaguar from the 1980s to 2001. JCNA has worked with JaguarLandrover to fix this situation and you are now able to order new ofactory books directly and not have to hunt part numbers and attempt to obtain them via a dealer or worse hope the EBay item you are bidding on is the correct one. JCNA members should be able to go to Service Manuals, Owner Manuals, Wiring Diagrams, Service Bulletins - Helm Incorporated and select the vechicle owner/do-it-yourself option and look at their stock. If you select all years/ all models you can see everything in stock. It is then up to you to order and pay. In this case there was no method to put it in the shoppe and no room which you will understand when you see the prices. Good luck and good hunting obtaining all the goodies that came with your car. Of course for older models the JCNA shoppe is still the place to go. Happy Holidays to all.
