I-CAR · April 28, 2022 · Jaguar, Land Rover
Summary
This article explains how Jaguar Land Rover organizes its Body Repair Manuals (BRMs) using specific body codes (e.g., X540 or L663) rather than just model years. It emphasizes that using the correct body code is critical for obtaining accurate repair procedures, parts ordering, and vehicle measuring.
What to do on the job
Search for the vehicle using the VIN on the Jaguar Land Rover service site to ensure the correct body code and Body Repair Manual are selected.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the time spent researching and identifying the correct body code via VIN search on the OEM portal. It helps defend the necessity of accessing the exact OEM portal rather than relying on generic third-party estimating systems, especially during transition years where multiple generations of a vehicle are produced simultaneously.
