Based on that it's quite unlikely...but for peace of mind no big deal to check the plugs, coils and wells...
So I was re-reading the story above and you posted that you initially got a misfire on cylinder 6, means Code P0306, right?
The Jaguar documentation says for p0306 it's cylinder 6 = B2 = 2B. 2B is located on bank B = the drivers side (LHD).
A few posts later, you state that you now have a misfire on cylinder 7 = B3 = 3B. Which code do you obtain? P0307?
If yes, you might be on the wrong track, since cylinder B3=7 and cylinder B2=6 are on the same side!!!! It's not the passenger side! That's what Bob and I pointed out a few posts earlier. Check the attachment for clarification concerning the "historical" cylinder numbering for the V8 Jags before MY 2004.

Thanks for reporting back!!! My pleasure! I'm happy to see that your issue was easy to solve after that much work that you already put into your car.
I always have a spare coil in my boot, since I experienced a coil going bad already twice. And since they're changed within minutes, it's not worth it calling the tow service or damaging the engine ;-)
