I actually cannot remember, if I did change the cabin air filter on my 1998 X308. But I found a video, which suggests, it shows where the cabin air filter for a 2002 Xj8 is:

Thus, I'd say, if your cabin air filter is there, you found it, if not, you may not have one...

Here it is again!
If you did not fit one decades ago, you are out of luck.

Thank you very much for your kind replies, but I think the video is not from an xj as bonnet opens the wrong way. Yours with thanks. Mark

They may be NLA from Jaguar et al but there may be a manufacturer in Mark’s area that could fabricate one for him whether or not he has the original “frame”. This an Edmonton based firm:

Their focus is commercial HVAC systems where custom fabrication is often needed at competitive prices.

Very interesting Ken. One thing that is odd about the X308 cabin air filter location (when they had them) is that even though you have to pull the cowl panel to replace it, but the very ends of the cowl panel is wide open so that water and debris can drain out. So like many other things in life including air, it takes the path of least resistance which means that it will largely bypass the cabin filter and pull the unfiltered air into the cabin.

Default Pollen filters on x308

Thank you very much to everyone that has contributed to this problem I think it is time to give up my search for the elusive pollen filter.

2001 and newer may have a pollen filter that is under the hood in a panel at the firewall.

Default Pollen filters

Hi jaag
after extensive searches I am led to believe that the x308 does not have a pollen filter. I now believe the problem is one of the blower mothers or resistors is the problem and it is booked into the garage on Monday morning. So after that I should have a definitive answer to this thread which I will report on here hopefully to help others with this problem
many thanks mark
