Where are the spark plugs located on a 2004 XJ8 (vandeplas) jaguar

Not being a smart Alec but the same place every car has them. Yours should have a plastic engine cover that you have to remove first. The plugs will then be visible in the standard locations on the cylinder heads.

Low beam headlights not coming on.

a common problem on these cars is a wire breaking off the combination indicator/dip switch. remove the steering column cowlings and check that first, it can be repaired by resoldering if thats ok check the dip beam relay and wiring etc.hope that helps.

My 2004 jag xj8 is surging at speed of 40 to 65, the RPM goes up and down 200 to 400 rpm.

It's possible one of your ignition coils went out if you have a check engine light have it scanned it will pinpoint that issue.

Had my 2004 xj8 tuned up with new plugs. because it started to misfire when starting cold , now it does the same thing intermittently. check engine light comes on code says misfire.

Wow, by that many miles you may be looking at new coil packs. You can replace one that you know misfires and see if that helps. They are usually not cheap - try rockauto RockAuto Parts Catalog RockAuto Parts Catalog RockAuto Parts Catalog

Have no radio,c d player,navi and a/c blows on auto only no light in display

A/C sounds like an issue with the a/c module which is unusual. There used to be a test sequence on the earlier a/c units not sure if it is on the 4.2. Check all fuses there are four fuse boxes. one at the end of the dash by the door and two under the bonnet. the radio/cd player etc is all one unit (medIa unit), that would explain why they all are not working. I think the a/c fault is connected to the media unit but not sure how. Need to study the wiring diagram for this, I take that it is a 4.2. Jaguar diagnostics will show the fault or give a lot more guidance. Generic scanners wont pick up the fault codes for things like this they are manufacturer specific. That's how manufacturers lighten your wallet. website jagrepair has all the electrical diagrams free.

What causes the RPM needle to fluctuate when gas pedal is pressed?

Hi Antonio , What is the real problem ? are you getting RPM needle fluctuation while driving or the the engine light that came up after that minor engine service ? As I understand you are having fluctuating RPM after that minor engine tune up. If there is no sound than it could be a problem of throttle body.

How do I access the trunk of my 2004 jaguar xj8 when it's gone into valet lockout?

You can use the key on the trunk the key aperture is at the right side of the trunk. Hopefully it is not seized from lack of use. As you turn the key try thumping the boot above the top of the back edge with your hand not too hard and also rocking the car by the boot

Air suspension default line

unusual for only one corner to be out, the common problems are, air leaks, between valve block and suspension unit, ride level sensors, normally the clamp on the suspension corrodes and allows the sensor to float,it sounds like a air leak on that corner to me. you can buy a leak detection spray to help find the leak. the pump is also troublesome. located front bumper liner lh, but that would affect the whole system, I would check the plastic pipe is ok from the valve block to the suspension unit first, then get the fault codes out of the air suspension module, the valve block is in the boot spare wheel well. hope this helps.

2004 Jaguar XJ8 - 102700KMS - Vibration in the body from 80km-110kms. Have changed all 4 tyres and balance. Mechanie said that will fix the problem; now he is saying that it may be the drivetrain whic

Check the u-joints in the drive shaft for looseness or rust streaks. The speed makes it well above harmonic vibrations normally occur. Check rear engine mount for condition and if the rubber is soft it may pay to replace it. The jaguar car rear end uses the two axles as upper control arms and so it may be necessary to check the u- joints here as they carry a lot of load holding the wheels upright while driving the car. It may pay to find a jaguar. specialist workshop because the drive train and rear end are not the same as most other cars and general mechanics will have little specific knowledge to diagnose the problem correctly

My Jaguar XE mirrors stop folding close with fob, but they close if I do manually and now the passenger door is not locking. What to do??? When I use the fob all doors close except the passenger side.

Folding mirrors normally have a setting to fold automatically or to fold only manually. https://www.google.com/search?q=jaguar+xe+folding+mirrors The passenger door not locking is likely a broken wire or a door module issue. For that, you need an auto electrician who has access to data sheets and also has a pro grade scan tool computer. The scan tool is bi-directional and can instruct things to happen electronically and verify that they did and if they didn't why? https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me ..

If the inertia switch is activated, what does it affect on a 2003 Jaguar S-Type please?

It cuts power to the fuel pump when the car suffers crash damage. The inertia switch is located in the footwell behind the trim on the right-hand side of the vehicle, forward of the front door post, below the fascia. A finger access hole allows the driver to reset the switch.
