1999 Jaguar XJ8 Service and Repair Manual

Fitment is the whole point here: this factory service and repair manual is written for the 1999 Jaguar XJ8 as Jaguar built it that year, around the 4.0L V8 and the sedan bodies below, so what you work to is what Jaguar specified for this car rather than a figure carried across from an adjacent XJ year.

Known issues on the 1999 XJ8. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it concerns the gasoline fuel system. Certain replacement fuel filters sold for use on these cars have a connector that was not manufactured to 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 logged 11 complaints for the year.

Whether you are tracing a fuel smell back to a filter connection, taking the 4.0L V8 through a scheduled service, or confirming a specification before reassembly, it keeps you on Jaguar's own procedure for this 1999 XJ8.
