Welcome to the forum sergii1312, you should also stop by our New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum and introduce yourself.

Unfortunately there is no way to get into the boot with a dead battery unless you remove the back seat. That's the easy answer, but probably not what you want to hear. The "official" way in is to break the left rear light and reach in for the emergency release, no kidding https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...x-type-100191/

That's a pickle you're in with the battery being flat & the drivers door handle being broken...

If you can lift the front of the car to get access to the alternator, try to put 12V on the + terminal of the alternator and - to earth, should get you power to unlock the car with the remote.

If you do get the boot open, and you have the fold-down rear seat, then you also get access to open the bonnet.

EDIT

One member was able to get the door open with a coat hanger onto the door handle...

If you're saying you can't open the door with the key (I don't know why you can't) then apparently if you smash the left rear light assembly you can get the trunk opened. You then drop the seat back, crawl into the passenger compartment and open your bonnet. All for about $300.

Cheaper way is to have a locksmith open a door. My wife had car running, got out and went around and opened and closed the passenger door. In it's wisdom the security system decided to then lock all the doors. Once he got there it took the locksmith only a minute to open the door. Moral here is don't get out of the car without the key.

 

Thanks for all the info very helpful I'm going to try and open it myself without damage to the car if I can't get it open I will call a locksmith

 

If your drivers door handle is broken I have 1 if you need to replace it. I part out cars and sell them. Many members have taken advantage of the great parts at low prices. Pm me and let me know what you need.

Thanks and good luck,
The Dr!
