Unlock the trunk, using the master (black) key. Earlier cars had the keyhole in the model badge on the back of the trunk, later cars have the key hole up inside the chrome handle (under the trunk button).
You can get a new master key cut from your valet key, or from your key code see http://www.triple-c.com/How_To_Read_Jaguar_Tibbe_8_Cut_Key_Codes.cfm for details, or if you look at the tip of the keys shown at this web page, and compare with your valet key, you will notice that with careful filing, the tip of the valet key can be filed to turn it into a master key.

I believe that this is to protect valuables left in the boot when parking the vehicle. I read here that there is access some where in/ near the glove box but I cannot remember exactly what it was . Surf the net under Jaguar valet problems and you may get the answer.

Where is the trunk fuse located in a Jaguar XJ8 2001

In the 2001 Jaguar XJ8 he trunk (boot) fuse should be #10 (10A) located in the trunk fuse box next to the battery. You may need to use your key in the mechanical trunk lock (insert in Jaguar chrome on right side). Good luck.

Can't get into trunk to jump start car. Remote or key won't open trunk

Check your owners manual, there is usually a manual cable inside of the vehicle to release the trunk for just such an instance.

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

Jaguar xj8 boot wont open

Just bought my 98 a week ago....from what I can figure out....the valet mode disables the inside button....until the trunk is opened by the key. From what I understand also....there is a valet key....and an owner key. (I saw the differences online this week) which also ties in with valet mode.
