The XK (X100, 1997 to 2006) is Jaguar's grand touring coupe and convertible, using the 4.0- and 4.2-liter AJ-V8 and a supercharged XKR.
The 2005 Jaguar XK belongs to the first-generation XK (X100), built for model years 1997–2006. Most procedures are shared with the other years of this generation, but engines, options and wiring changed from year to year, so the manual is made for the 2005 model year.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2005 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “5”. 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 21 years old, a 2005 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.
Same generation: 1997 Jaguar XK, 1998 Jaguar XK, 1999 Jaguar XK, 2000 Jaguar XK, 2001 Jaguar XK, 2002 Jaguar XK, 2003 Jaguar XK, 2004 Jaguar XK, 2006 Jaguar XK.
All Jaguar XK model years: 1997 · 1998 · 1999 · 2000 · 2001 · 2002 · 2003 · 2004 · 2005 · 2006
