The firing order for a 2000 Jaguar XJ8 Vanden Plas, which is equipped with a 4.0L V8 engine, is 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2. This sequence is critical for proper engine operation and performance. Make sure to follow this order when working on ignition timing or spark plug replacement.
I found a very good CD-ROM manual for my 1999 XJ8 VDP at: www.Great WorkshopManuals.com (Workshop manuals for Classic & Exotic Cars)
On the 2001 Jaguar XJ8 Vanden Plas, the transmission fluid dipstick is located near the back of the engine bay, on the passenger side. It is typically a yellow or orange handle, making it easier to identify. To check the transmission fluid level, ensure the engine is running and warm, and then pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and check the level.

The 1998 Jaguar XJ8 Vanden Plas typically uses a mixture of ethylene glycol-based coolant, specifically designed for use in aluminum engines. It's recommended to use a high-quality, phosphate-free coolant that meets the Jaguar specification. A 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water is generally advised for optimal performance and protection against corrosion. Always check the owner's manual for specific recommendations.
On a 1998 Jaguar XJ8 Vanden Plas, the fuel filter is located underneath the vehicle, typically mounted along the frame rail on the driver's side. To access it, you may need to lift the car and remove any protective covers or shields. Always ensure the fuel system is depressurized before attempting to replace the filter.
The High side switch has shorted in the Security/Locking Module. Purchase a BTS428L2/TO252-5 switch from Digikey.com, about $4. Get a TV repair guy to solder a new one on for about $50.
Use only long life antifreeze and mix according to environment where you live. These cars need to run on the best fluids available to ensure a long and worry free life. They are so expensive, but more expensive to fix if it goes to the dealer for service!
If both the key and button are not working to open the trunk of a 1999 Jaguar XJ8 Vanden Plas, you can try accessing the trunk through the rear seat. Fold down the rear seat backs if possible and look for a release mechanism inside the trunk. Alternatively, check if there's an emergency trunk release inside the cabin, usually located near the driver's seat. If these methods don't work, it may require professional assistance to unlock the trunk.

I have a 2000 XJ8, VP; twice this has happened; sounded like it had jumped timing; Found out that most Jags built during the Ford era, w/V8 engines have this problem often. Clean your throttle body of sutt build up as well as your spark plugs. May want to replace crank sensor as well. Worked for me. Sir "J"
