Many cars have a switch connected to the boot lock to alert the driver if the boot (= "Trunk", to our American friends :) ) isn't closed properly. Chances are, esp with an older car that you have either a) a faulty switch, or b) another fault somewhere else in the electrical connection If you like me have a 1997-2003 X308 model at least, there is a wire from the switch (and the interior boot-lights) running underneath the right boot-lid hinge. OVer the years this wire can have been damaged or flexed too often; have a look; it is quite feasible to repair this yourself it you have DIY skills. Best to add a new piece of wire and allow for movement, but cable-tie is a bit out of the way. If you're worried you can still self diagnose and get a car electrician to fix it in minutes.

To open the boot of an XJ8 with a flat battery, you can use the manual key entry. Look for a small keyhole on the boot lid or near the license plate area, insert the key, and turn it to unlock. Alternatively, if you have access to the rear seat, you may be able to fold them down and reach the boot release mechanism from inside the car.
You can purchase a Jaguar XJ8 at a local Jaguar dealership, or you can find available Jaguar XJ8s on the sites Auto Trader or Ebay Motors and purchase from the sellers.
