I've been working on my 6.0 engine without much guidance from shop manuals despite having all the Jag pdfs I've found out there. I was looking for the JDHT JHM 1146 & JHM 1176 cd roms today but see they appear to have stopped selling them.

What do people use to pre plan and understand working on the V12s? Would appreciate any tips!

There appear to be various JDHT knockoffs out there like this one on ebay

What's I'd really like to see is exploded diagram parts books, which I have for other types of older Jags

 

oliver,

Jaguar (JDHT) stopped selling the workshop manual CD-ROMS many years ago due to a copyright commercial issue and they don't seem to have found a way (or inclination) to subsequently resolve it. My suggestion is to try and find one on ebay UK but see if you can get one of the late DVD versions that isn't restricted to running only under a very early version of Adobe,

As regards parts diagrams, a useful start point is always just to look at the Jaguar parts diagrams on the parts website. See here for facelift XJS which includes the 6 litre engine: Search Genuine Xjs (from (v)179737 Up To (v)226645) Parts For Jaguar Xjs Sports Coupe/convertible 1975 - 1996 Classic | Jaguar Land Rover Classic Parts

Good luck

Paul

 

I bought a jtp1008 Heritage cd when I had a 94 XJ12 with the 6.0L. It’s pretty comprehensive.

A few places used to sell them, including Welsh. https://www.welshent.com/Jaguar-XJ6X...al-P13134.aspx

 

Thanks! I have the Haynes book for that car but just the 'xj6' x40. Does that CD have the V12 in it it too?

I spend a lot of time on the vendor sites looking at diagrams but it would be great to have something more comprehensive to look at all in one place.

 

oliver,

As mentioned, the best parts diagrams is naturally the original Jaguar parts documentation.

I presume you already use Jaguar's parts website, but if not, here is the link to the XJ-S pre-facelift parts website:

Yes the cd does have the parts manual and the service manual for the 6.0L V12.
