Really silly questions now!
If it is an auto box! have you got in any gear other than Park??
Have you checked the immobiliser????
Crank angle sensor is ok?????
I've experienced problems with Jag's in the past! this sounds crazy but check that the coolant temp sender is not worn out and shorting on the bonnet liner! sounds crazy but this has hapened before! shorted out the entire ignition system!
What kind of oil can i use in a 1983 jaguar xjs
No one ever asks that questionOf coarse there are all kinds of oilsthat don't belong in your vehicle & coulddo harm over time,I think you knew thatwhen you asked the questionI would say 5W-30 would be a good guessYou should really ask a dealer what theyrecommend.We are 30 years removed from 1983 & the oil technology of that era

It sounds as if the ignition coil is failing. Although it could be any coil in the ignition system. I would think that the engine fires up after about 1 hour, yes? When a coil heats up it expands and any small breaks in the wire get bigger. The ignition coil is usually a tube about the size and shape of a "Red Bull" can. It will have a thick lead going to the distributor. Try a new one first before looking deeper, (it;s quick and easy) Hope this helps.
What exactly is a brake
its in the transmission, the band holds a drum from spinning when its applied. the trans needs to come apart to replace it.

When the temperature
Heat may affect the electrical system. With the number of items you have mentioned I suspect there could be bad wiring. With the year that you have it may be a factory defect that your dealer should know. It could also be the terminals to the fuses and relays to where the wiring harness are connected to. Your car should still be in warranty and it would be best to have these checked.

European cars are great but also known for weak wiring......sounds like a faulty ground...Make sure all wires are not corroded and have good tight connection....If you know which wire is ground you can check for proper resistance with digital multimeter...................metalpoet

Rear axle alignment
if the rear suspension cage to body mountings are in good condition 4 of them , and the radius arm bushes are ok it should be ok however worth checking for play in rear hub bearings and hub carrier fulcrum bearings

Hi how can i convert my 1976 4.2 damlier jagaur
The main difference is the non-lead version has hardened valves and seats in the cylinder head and a catalytic converter in the exhaust. You may be able to obtain a later head that fits this engine. The converter is an easy splice-in by cutting out a section of the exhaust header pipe and fitting suitable connectors. If you need to pass emission regulations, then it gets more complicated.
