Avg Cusomer Rating: 5 Reviews: Summary: Great Research & "How To" Guide! As a new (used) Jaguar owner I was concerned about being taken advantage of, or being at the mercy of auto mechanics. This book allows me to review the problem first and places me in a position to explain the problem to the repair shop in terms they understand. I have aso been able to make minor repairs myself by following the instructions in the book. I carry this book in my car and refer to it often. I know it has saved me $100's in repair bills. No Jag owner should be without it! Summary: |

Avg Cusomer Rating: 3 Reviews: Summary: Good and Bad Haynes Manuals have always been the best on the market. I've used them for several vehicles I have owned in the past. However, I was surprised that this one does not measure up to the rest. For Series I and II XJ6s, this book is very good. It covers all the topics with easy step-by-step instructions and has plenty of pictures and charts to go with it. It's with the Series III cars that the book falls flat. The book was originally written for the first two series with info on the IIIs added in a later revision. It seems the section on the IIIS was more an after thought than a revision. Information is hard to locate, the pictures and charts are not as numerous and some information just isn't there. Overall, this is a good, cheap starting point for anyone who wants to do-it-yourself info on the the XJ6. However, if you want more substance and detail, stick with the Jaguar Shop Manuals. They're pricey but worth it. Summary: Good supplement to Jaguar Repair Manuals This book covers some things in more detail than the Jaguar Factory Repair Operation Manuals (ROM). But, it is not a substitute for the Jaguar manuals. The sections on Timing and Ignition were particularly useful. It includes photos of key components, as opposed to drawings in the Jaguar manuals. But it does not include much information about tools and jigs specific to these engines. Summary: not a very good manual upon trying to use this manual for a 1986 jaguar xj6 i found that the information i needed was very hard to find if it was even there at all. the troubleshooting section is an absolute joke.

Avg Cusomer Rating: 4 Reviews: Summary: A reasonable guide to restoring an XJ6:an overview. The copy I bought is a hardcover edition with a different cover but same ISBN by same author.(Haynes # H4020). This book covers a general guide/overview to restoring an XJ6, history and a buyers guide,etc.Its not a complete bolt by bolt restoration guide.But,it does offer enough information for any DIY to get the general idea.Its a reasonable book for what it has to offer.For what this book is,it is a good book to start with. This is a general overview of restoration.Its not a complete restoration manual.You should buy a workshop manual and/or a factory manual as well.This book on its own is okay but consider buying specific books that show how to paint your car,restore interiors,rebuild engines,etc.The book is good value too. I hope the publisher considers publishing a similar book for the XJ12 model Jaguars,with more indepth chapters please. Summary: Good for Generalization This book gives a good general overview of how to restore an XJ model. But, does not go into any of the small details on making the vehicle run properly. I.E.; nothing is mentioned about the vehicles electrical system. It is nice to know how to rebuild an engine, but, without knowing how to hook up the electrical system it will never run. Too much emphasis on how to buy the car and not how to fix it. Summary: |
