While I haven't examined an alternator for a Jaguar, most modern vehicles use alternators with the regulator installed INSIDE.
It's usually possible to rebuild an alternator if you have the right tools and are mechanically inclined. Some alternators require that you use a press to remove the pulley, and you'll need to figure out how to put the alternator back together once the brushes are out of their slot (there is usually a hole that aligns with the brushes; you just put an opened paperclip or other stiff wire in the hole to hold the brushes in place.)
It's usually just a matter of replacing parts; brushes, bearings and regulator takes care of most alternator problems, but you should have the diodes checked and replace the diode plate if you have any problems.
I don't know how difficult it is to find parts for a Jaguar alternator; you may need to contact a specialty parts supplier.
Good luck.

I am trying to locate where the voltage stabliser is on my friends 1997 xj6 3.4l Jaguar can anybody tell me where it is ?

It is part of the alternator it is called a regulator. This regulate the voltage that charges the battery. If that regulator goes bad, you end up with overcharging which is dangerous and can blow up the battery, or you end up with a car that has a short and not charging.

I have to put it a new voltage regulator on a 1986 Chrysler LeBaron, where is the voltage regulator located?

If the engine is the 2.6L the regulator is built into the alternator and is not serviceable. If the engine is a 2.2L or 2.5L then there may be a seperate regulator and it will be mounted to one of the inner fenders. Please rate this solution.
