When you ask for information about your 2000 Jaguar S-Type, it would be very helpful if you would take a moment to mention which engine it is equipped with. There is a 3.0L V-6 and a 4.0L V-8 engine available for that make and model.
However, the spark plug replacement is similar except that the intake manifold must be removed to access the plugs on the right bank on the V-6 engine.
The spark plugs are located under the cover that goes down the center of each valve cover. You must remove the plastic engine cover to see the cover that goes down the center of the valve covers. Remove the screws in the cover plate. Remove the electrical connectors for each ignition coil. Remove the screws securing the coils and remove the coils. The spark plugs are located at th bottom of the hole that the coils just came out of.
NOTE: The spark plug tubes should be blown out with compressed air before removing the spark plugs. Failure to do so can cause
severe engine damage from debris falling into the combustion chamber or contaminating the spark plug hole threads.
As for finding a service manual, the best recommendation I can give you is to subscribe to the service information available at
ALLDATAdiy.com. This is the same infomation that I use as a professional auto repair technician. The fee is extremely reasonable - under $30 (US) per year.
