The spark plugs are under a cover that's over the top of the valve cover. Unscrew it and hello to six spark plus. FYI I would recommend NGK only! don't fall for the bosch trap! I'm rick James
IF the Oil level and coolant are ok, temp and pressure are ok, and the engine runs good, the chances are the Oxygen sensor in the exhaust system may be faulty, this is common in the 1994.5 - 1997 range of XJ's. The part is about $55 in the U.S. and is in faily accessable location before the Catalytic converter. But the dealer can pull the Diagnostic trouble code for a fairly reasonable price, BUT go to a Ford dealer rather than a Jag dealer, they use the same diagnostic equipment and use the same codes (but don't tell anybody).
unbolt the rear seat and climb through Jaguar and others I'm sure, sell a Cigarette lighter to Cigarette lighter jumper cable (for charging, not jump starting) the battery. So, evidently you are not the first person this has happened to. On the 1996 XJ6 (and probably others), there is a positive post under the hood with a cap on it. It was on the passenger side, just in front of the firewall. I used that to charge the battery and it worked fine. And another: If you can't get the battery recharged, you can take the rear number plate off, drill a 15mm hole in the centre of the area behind it, then you can get at the push rods that work the lock. I can't remember exactly where to drill the hole - a friendly mechanic at my Jag dealer told me a few years ago. It does work (and when the number plate is bck on, who's to know!
