I'm 99% certain it'll be a V6.

For a '99 model, I'd think it's a V6 too. However, should be fairly simple to spot by just opening the bonnet and looking underneath surely!?

Also, your V5 will give the engine code which will also unambiguously answer the question.

WIS is the closest thing you'll get to a workshop manual.
