Default Jumping an XJ8 from the front?

To make a long story short, I lost my key, and only have the valet key. Battery is dead. I need to jump the car, and don't know where to put the connectors. I've done this before, but can't for the life of me remember where to put the connectors!

It's a 1998 Jaguar XJ8/Vandenplas.

Please and thanks in advance. After I get her started I have to get the head gaskets replaced.....Head gasket failure.

There are battery cable connectors on each side of the engine beside the respective fuse panels. They are covered by removable rubber 'boots'.
