Jaguar XJ-S 3.6 & 4.0 Workshop Manual: AKM9063 (Official Service Manual)

This book is certainly going to be my new best friend whilst working through the many small (and occasionally large) issues with my recently-acquired '94 XJS. I do have one complaint, which explains the four-star rating: I was under the impression--perhaps wrongly--that the book contained wiring diagrams for all XJS model years. It doesn't. Within the book it's explained that the complexity of the early 1990s-and-beyond cars necessitated simplified diagrams for these later years, so you don't actually get the full diagrams. I had to source those elsewhere. It's understandable, since the full wiring chart for my '94 runs something like 80 pages... still, I wish I'd known ahead of time. Other than that nit, this is solid reference piece that'll be a great help in the future.

For what is essentially a reprint the quality is acceptable. Way overpriced but essential to the XJS owner. At the price the publishers should provide access to an accompanying parts manual which is sadly missing.

nice book to just learn from

We were working on an XJS-C and the searching the internet, there was not a lot of info on this car. But this book has it all! Yes it is a little expensive for a "repair manual" but it is SO worth the money. If you have an XJS or similar, I recommend buying this book.

After much searching, I found a copy, long out of date, containing necessary maintenance information.

This is a must have if you own one of these cars

To advanced for me but very helpful.... I'm more a "Shade Tree Mechanic" and need simpler explanations

Love the book! Very detailed

Double check before ordering as it's easy to make a mistake, like I did; brought as a gift as we can't seem to go find a relevant haynes manual....tthis however seems to be a far superior manual

Excellent book very detailed pages are a little bit light for big rough hands

Service manuals are a dry read unless perhaps you have a car engine in pieces on the garage floor and need to get it running ASAP. Well written and illustrated with the information you need.

Money well spent. Best manual out there

Just the right book for my husbands new car very helpful.
