have you tried opening up your door and trying to fix it?
my handle on the outside woulnt work so i opened it up and there is a linkage with a screw holding it together, adjusting this nut to the center most position fixed it. now it opens just fine. otherwise its a 250+ fix
the cast iron piece is broken on the handle just had to change one
you have to remove the door panels. A haynes manual will give detailed instructions on how to do that. Follow every step. Takes about an hour per door.
This is not a job for the faint hearted. You will need a lot of patience and dextrous fingers. Remove the interior door panels...look into the handle area and spot the 3 small nuts that hold the handles to the door skin..remove and save... locate operating rod clips, release, ease handle out from door, locate loom connectors for lock barrel heater and lock control, they are secured from being trapped by the window in a small clip...... disconnect and remove handle. Reassembly is reverse of removal plus a little more fiddling about !.
on the wheel i own the 4L model xj6 sport (1997) and its below the auto gear stick
I do not have an answer for this but I can verify that I also have this problem and mine is a 1997 Jag XY6 also
The entire, and I mean ENTIRE front dash has to come out to remove the heater box which then must be disassembled in order to replace the evaporator or heater core. Not a job for the feint of heart.

You have to remove the inside door panel. Jags are tricky and I would suggest buying a Haynes manual if you're going to try this yourself for the first time. !

The Door handles on all Jaguar XJ6 models were designed by a moron, or group of morons. They are all made of pot metal and have a weak spot at the pivot point that pushes on the linkage that goes to the door latch. Eventually, your door handle will break and it will need to be replaced. I manufactured my own door handle and made it from a solid steel bracket that I bought from Home Depot. I cut the bracket to shape, and then cut the face of the old door handle off of the original brackets. Then I used JB Weld to attach the face of the original handle to my new steel bracket. From the outside you can't tell any difference, and my new handle will never fail again. Your only other choice is to find a used handle, which will cost you about $100.00 and will be just as crappy as the original. If You have a Pick-n-Pull near you, you can check their web site for your model year. They will only charge you about $10.00 for a used handle. Go to http://www.picknpull.com/check_inventory.aspx and check for a yard near you, and their inventory.

I have a 1995 XJ6 with 226,000 miles, it has had 20/50 castorol its whole life and shows no signs of stoppin'
