Good and Bad3
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.

Good supplement to Jaguar Repair Manuals4
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.

not a very good manual1
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.
