Default XJR 100

Hi all,
I'm the lucky guy who won the XJR 100 on BAT. Seems to be a very nice car with an inactive radio/nav system.
Unfortunately, it did not come with an Owners manual, so I have a few questions.
Maybe first, can I download an Owner's Manual somewhere? I was able to do that for for free for my XK8 but don't remember and/or can't find the URL for this. I did pay a little for the XJR Shop Manual, but I remember doing this for my XK8 for free.
Second, where is the control for the fuel filler cover. Luckly I found the lever itself under the trunk rug and could do it, but I. can't believe that Jag would want their owners having to do this manualy.
Maybe last, any idea of where I can get the radio repared? We used someone who repaired my XK8 radio by mai twice before I quit and got an aftermarket radio which has more features but lacks some of the "proper" look in the car.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I've moved your question from General Tech Help to X308 forum. Members here with the same model will be able to help.

Congrats on your win!

The filler cap is indeed manual, it locks with the doors etc. to prevent tampering.

The above video should answer many of your questions.

the x300 had an automatic central locking linked fuel filler release


somebody was bored and wanted more buttons in the car and supposedly to stop siphoning
