This motor has a DOHC configuration with hydraulic self-adjusting tappets - so a noise on them is practically impossible unless they are worn out to a level that makes the functioning of the motor problematic.
The noise is almost surely coming from one of the distribution chains, the automatic tensioner has failed and the chain is now loose.
Here

you can find an engine repair manual with diagrams - the tensioner will have to be replaced.

    It's the tensioner plate, it's hit by the chain. The sound disappears because the chain gets tensioned by the effort put in it by the crankshaft at higher revs and the resulting centrifugal force. You will have to access the distribution to replace it.

    But it might be also caused by detonations - check the sparkplugs , replace the fuel you are now using and run a cleaning fuel additive.

Replace cabin pollen filter 2005 jaguar xkr

To get to the cabin air filter on an XK8 or XKR, you have to do the following steps (I know these steps sound ridiculous...as in many cars there is just a simple cover in the engine compartment... but...): The air filter is under the black plastic cowl or plenum that is just under the windshield wiper blade connectors. To get to that, you must 1. carefully lift off the plastic covers that reveal screw heads. Remove the screws. 2. lift off the plastic covers that are on the top of each windshield wiper connector - under the cover you will then see a nut or bolt that has to be unscrewed. 3. Using a small puller (the puller that lifts off battery terminals works for this) lift off each windshield wiper and disconnect the rubber hose from each. 3. lift the car's front hood, and remove the plastic cowling (you also have to lift the side rubber runners and a rubber strap from each side that holds up the rubber drain hoses). Once you remove that plastic cowling, you will see the air filter plenum at the back of the engine area. The air filter should come vertically out of that. (This air filter does not exist on my 2000 and earlier editions...I am not sure what year Jaguar installed them.) Full instructions are on the Jaguar JTIS CD which you should obtain...look online for that.

Identifying and Replacing Serpentine Belt

Nope, it does sound like the serpentine belt broke.
All you need is a long 15mm wrench to replace it.
The belt from Jaguar is about $90.
It takes about 5 minutes to replace the belt.
