There is a mopre complete description at jaguarforums.com, but essentially you have to remove the bottom cover just under the front end, 16 or so screws. then you need to "fish" a pole or rod to the bottom of the latch. There is a feature on the botom of the latch that needs to be pushed from passenger side to driver side and the latch will pop.
Before starting this I would suggest you make sure the cable is broken. It is common for winter driven X types to have their cables rust, I sometimes have to hold my release lever for 8-10 seconds before the hood latches will pop - good luck.
