To jump-start a Jaguar XK8, first, ensure both vehicles are turned off. Connect the positive (+) terminal of the dead battery to the positive terminal of the donor battery, then connect the negative (-) terminal of the donor battery to a solid ground point on the car with the dead battery (not directly to the negative terminal). Start the donor vehicle, let it run for a few minutes, and then attempt to start the XK8. Once started, remove the jumper cables in reverse order and let the XK8 run for a while to recharge the battery.

Can you jump start a Jag XK8 from under the hood?

yes, I've read elsewhere online that in the fuse box under the hood (I think on the driver side), there is a place to attach cables to, one red cap and another black cap, both have covers on them. That said, it's just as easy, if not easier to jump it from the trunk where the battery lives.
