What were you getting for fault codes? Service interval for spark plugs is every 70,000 miles and if you read the link posted above you can see it is not a half hour job. I'd get the fault code(s) and post them here for a 2nd opinion. To say change all the plugs is a pretty general
"fix". Were you having a problem or did you just get and engine light?

its more than likly a coil misfire and what do you expect for free dont know Jaguar advice. If its a misfire for a cylinder undter the intake, replace all 3 coils and plugs. you can do the other later side since theyre easy

You change the coils when you change the plugsit is a direct Ignition system, no spark plug wires. So no easy way out you need to follow the procedure above.
