lift the hood and there is a posative battery bolt mount on the right side top of the engine compartment attach a jumper box and the remote should work, also depending on the year there is a key hole either hidden in the xj8 trunk emblem or under the chrome jaguar emblem on the trunk lid above the lic plate pointing up.
AnswerI can confirm that the keyhole is in the chrome "XK8" logo on the 1999 model.The keyhole is in the same place on the 2002.
Um, its in the trunk under the mat.
Underneath the floor of the trunk to the right of the spare tire. There is a cover there that pulls up, and then you can access the battery.

To open the trunk of a 2002 Jaguar XK8 with a dead battery, you can use the manual key. Locate the keyhole on the trunk lid, usually hidden under a small cover or trim piece. Insert the key and turn it to unlock the trunk. If the keyhole is not accessible or the trunk remains locked, you may need to access the trunk from the back seat by folding down the rear seats, if applicable.
put the ignition key in the little hole in the xk8 emblem on the trunk lid and turn it. works like a regular key lock trunk
You'll find that the key goes into a keyhole hidden in the Chrome "XK8" badge on the rear panel. Between the k and the 8 if I recall.
You have to use the key and the keyhole is located on the back between the X and K.
Simple theres a keyhole in the xk8/xkr babge on the back of the car near the boot.
To jump-start a 2007 Jaguar XK8, first, ensure both vehicles are turned off. Connect the positive (red) jumper cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery, then attach the other end to the positive terminal of the working battery. Next, connect the negative (black) jumper cable to the negative terminal of the working battery, and attach the other end to an unpainted metal surface on the engine block or chassis of the XK8 to ground it. Start the working vehicle, allow it to run for a few minutes, then attempt to start the XK8.
the battery is in the trunk on the righr of thr spare tire...
After I tried the above without success, I called the dealer. I have a 2002 XK8. There is a hole for the key between the X and the K just above the rear bumper. The battery is to the right of the spare.
