Straight From the Factory Floor

This is the genuine Jaguar Cars Repair Operation Manual written for dealers and distributors servicing the Series III V12 ‘E’ Type. It follows the manufacturer’s own operation-numbering system: every job is allocated a six-digit number in three pairs, cross-referenced directly to the factory’s Repair Operation Times, so a technician can move from a job card straight to the correct procedure without hunting through an index. A full page of agreed abbreviations and symbols, and a screw thread reference table, are included at the front so none of the factory shorthand used throughout the manual is left unexplained.

Engine and Drivetrain Data

The engine chapter documents the full 5343 cc (326 cu in) sixty-degree V12 in factory detail: 90 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, 9:1 compression ratio, static ignition timing of 12° BTDC, and the twelve-throw firing order 1A-6B-5A-2B-3A-4B-6A-1B-2A-5B-4A-3B. Cylinder block, wet liner, crankshaft, connecting rod, piston, piston ring, gudgeon pin, camshaft, jackshaft, valve, valve guide and valve seat dimensions and clearances are all tabulated to the thousandth of an inch, alongside valve timing angles and the Champion N9Y spark plug gap. Fuel system data covers the twin Zenith Stromberg 175 CD2SE carburetters with jet needle type and size, and the electrically operated S.U. AUF.406 fuel pump. Clutch, four-speed all-synchromesh manual gearbox ratios, the Borg Warner Model 12 automatic option with its torque converter ratios and shift speed tables, and the hypoid final drive are all tabulated with the different ratios fitted according to market and transmission type.

Chassis, Brakes and Electrical

Braking data spans the Girling ventilated front discs and rear discs with handbrake calipers, servo type, pad materials, and disc dimensions and thicknesses. Front and rear suspension geometry (castor, camber, toe), the rack and pinion power steering gear with turning circles for both wheel types, tyre pressures for normal and sustained high-speed use with a specific speed-restricted table for optional Dunlop Weathermaster snow tyres, and full electrical specifications for the battery, Butec alternator, Lucas starter motor, distributor and windscreen wiper motor are all given as printed by the factory, along with a complete lamp bulb application chart covering every market variant.

Lubricants, Fuel and Capacities

A dedicated chapter lists the recommended oils, greases and fluids from seven major suppliers (Mobil, Castrol, Shell, Esso, BP, Duckham, Texaco) for every lubrication point on the car, the correct brake fluid specification, minimum octane fuel requirements for the high-compression engine, and full refill capacities for the engine, gearbox, automatic transmission, final drive, cooling system and petrol tank, plus vehicle weights, track, wheelbase and turning circle figures. The manual is explicit that the twelve-cylinder engine, fitted with high-compression pistons, needs a minimum 98 octane Super grade fuel, warning that running on lower octane without easing off full throttle can lead to detonation and piston damage.

Routine Maintenance and Torque Figures

The Maintenance section lays out exactly what the factory required at 5,000 km, 10,000 km and 20,000 km (roughly 3,000, 6,000 and 12,000 miles): tyre and wheel checks, lubrication of grease nipples and locks, safety belt and seat security inspection, mirror and door lock checks, and the road or roller test due at the two longer intervals. The separate Torque Wrench Settings chapter then backs every one of those jobs up with real figures in both kg.m and lb.ft, covering cylinder head nuts by thread size, main bearing and big end nuts, the flywheel bolts, crankshaft bolt, camshaft bearing caps, engine mounting bolts, fuel system fittings, cooling system brackets, exhaust manifold nuts, clutch pedal box bolts and automatic transmission case bolts, so a rebuild is torqued exactly as Jaguar specified rather than to a generic guideline.

Taken together, the manual carries a technician from routine 5,000 km servicing through to a full V12 rebuild, complete with the specification figures, tightening torques and service tool numbers a workshop needs to carry out Jaguar’s own repair operations correctly, on every system from the cylinder heads down to the wheel bearings.

Written for the Repair Bench, Not the Showroom

Because this is a dealer-issued Repair Operation Manual rather than an owner’s handbook, the tone throughout is procedural rather than descriptive: numbered instruction steps, referenced service tool part numbers such as the JD.38 timing chain damper setting jig or the C.3993 valve timing gauge, and cross-references to the specific operation number for any related job. Cooling system coverage includes the electrically driven, thermostatically controlled twin-fan arrangement with header tank pressure cap rating, and the automatic transmission chapter includes the full shift-speed tables Jaguar published for the Borg Warner Model 12 unit across the range of axle ratios fitted to different markets.

Get Instant Access

This is the manual that keeps a V12 ‘E’ Type running the way Jaguar built it. Whether you are setting valve clearances, chasing a cooling system fault, rebuilding the automatic transmission, or simply confirming the correct grade of oil for the final drive, the correct factory figures are here rather than guessed at. The PDF downloads instantly after payment, works on a phone, tablet, laptop or desktop, and can be printed a page at a time for the workshop bench, so there is no shipping wait and no risk of a photocopy missing a page.
