The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Excellent. Now I can actually start working on my cars again with confidence. YouTube videos really are inadequate.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

I didn’t realize I would have a link in an email to click to get another email with another link to download.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Built around the 1998 Jaguar XJ8 and nothing else, this factory service and repair manual is tied to the exact year, engine and trim of the car in front of you, so the values Jaguar specified for this vehicle are the ones you work to rather than a figure carried over from an adjacent model year.

Engines

  • 4.0L V8 Gas

Trims

  • Base Sedan 4-Door
  • L Sedan 4-Door

Known issues on the 1998 XJ8. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the gasoline fuel system: certain Fram replacement fuel filters, P/N G3727, were built with a connector that was not manufactured to Honeywell's specification, so the O-ring may not seat correctly on the fuel line. That condition may cause an inadequate seal at the connection, potentially leading to a fuel leak, and in the presence of an ignition source a fire could occur. Owners have filed 84 complaints for the year.

Whether you are chasing a leak at the fuel filter connection or working through scheduled service on the 4.0L V8, it holds you to Jaguar's own procedure and specification for this 1998 XJ8.
