Just wondering where the bonnet/hood release handle is located in the car, sounds like a stupid question but on the test drive I couldn't see it.

Its a right hand drive 1999 XJ8, picking her up this afternoon.

Thanks

 

Its under the dash on the extreme right - right below the heater vent.
You'll need the door open to access it.

Thanks, no wonder I couldnt see whilst sat in the drivers seat with the door shut.

 

1999 XJ Vehicle Care Handbook gives the hood release location and instructions on proper handling the hood (bonnet) when opening or closing it (see page 12 - page reference 1-8) in this PDF file:

You can view on the webpage or download it to your PC (click on the download button).
