Hello, Sue,
Someone will be along shortly to direct you to the correct section where you can find answers to all your questions.
I would tell you but I don't drive that model Jaguar so I wouldn't know what to tell you.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

Welcome to teh Forums.

Distilled is fine as a top up.

Also, I dont know where the filler cap is on the X350 model.

The members in the XJ8 (X350) Tech Section will sort that quickly for you.

Welcome to the forums Sue,

Good to have you with us.

You should use a 50:50 mixture of coolant:distilled water but for topping up, distilled water alone is better than running with low coolant. Only top up a COLD engine. You don't mention if it's a V6 or a V8 but the Coolant Reservoir is in the same location on both:






Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-x350-x358-28/ to the X350 forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also use the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
