Check your driver door jamb placard. If your build date was July 2001 or earlier you have the old tensioners and need to upgrade.
If your build date was August 2001 or later, call your local Jaguar dealer with your VIN and get then to look up your engine number.
If you have an engine number of greater than 0108130000 then you have the new tensioners, if it is less, then you need to upgrade.
All this assuming you have an original engine in your car.
