About the 2003 Jaguar XJ
Model year 2003 is part of the XJ (X308) generation (1998–2003). It is the last model year of this generation and includes the running changes made during production, which is why a manual for the exact year matters.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2003 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “3”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 23 years old, a 2003 vehicle is in the age range where wiring, rubber hoses, seals and corrosion repairs take most of the work, and where original factory information is hardest to find.
