There's a bush either side (at 'position 13') on the Monostrut and two more on the bottom of the Stabiliser Bar (item 11).
The 'position 13' bolts are obvious but have you disconnected the right ones at the bottom?

The bottom pair are arrowed in the upper diagram which is looking forward from the rear of the car.
The 'position 13' ones are arrowed in the lower diagram as seen looking up from beneath the car.

Jaguar call it a Bushed Differential Strut!

A Panhard Rod provides lateral location for a 'live' axle. A Watt's Linkage is a further advance which also provides vertical control.
The Jaguar Strut is a progression on these principles but I suppose you could call it a Panhard Rod as that is effectively the function it is perfoming.

Thanks Graham, as there are 4 bushes in the powerflex kit described as XK8 rear panhard bushes I guess this is the item they fit. Still trying to see how to remove it from the car though, all 4 bolts are out but there doesn't seem to be enough clearance to get the frame out. If anyone has done this job themselves I could do with a bit of advice as to how they got this panhard out. Thanks.

Here's the relevant section from JTIS:

Even with the two brackets at the front of the 'A' Frame released, the bushes are often seized on.

Spot on with the advice Graham, couple of the bolts, one of the long ones and a bracket bolt difficult to get out nearly rounded the heads, managed to hammer on a 18mm socket to get bolts out O.K. The bushes on the panhard/brace easy to remove they have a plastic sleeve. just got to put it all back together now, when I can find a couple of bolts. Thanks.
