Default Fuses. I Need A Chart Of Location

What Ho Chappies
I am trying to figure where and what fuses locate in the boot fuse box.
It would appear that in an attempt to increase dividends to shareholders, Jaguar put a sticky label thingie on the fusebox cover.
However, this has vanished and Jeeves and I have a bit of a problem.
Is there anywhere I can find a fuse chart for the dashed thing.
XK8 2000. and all that.
What Ho
Bertie

Tell Jeeves to look in the FAQ's
Unless you have a handbook in the jolly old glove box, then he could look there.

Dash it all Norri
The manual in the glovebox tells a jolly good description of the number of the fuse, the ampereage and the like but it just doesnt show physically the layout of the box.
I will check the FAQ area however.

Indeed a great description, but I need the layout of the fuses in the box. A diagram as you would see looking into the box. Not in my vehicle care manual.

Jeepers Bertie, I hate to say this old boy, but if you can't interpret the descriptions in the book, locations, fuse numbers, function etc, perhaps you need to employ a minion.

They just dont make minions like they used to.
Your honor, in my defense, I do understand the fuse number, the rating and circuit but with two rows of fuses do the numbers run from left to right or right to left and does the number 1 fuse reside on the end of the top row, or bottom. Dashed if I can see any branding in the box.

Well, I put my spectacles on, took a bright light and low and behold I could see little tiny numbers beside the fuses.
Bit embarrassed here.
What a silly ****.
Thanks to all who responded.
Was checking because my passenger rear window is not closing but stuck half way.

If the window is blowing fuses it could be because the operating cable has become entangled. This was a common problem due to the flexing of the winding frame only fixed after about 4 years of field trials. Jaguar must use their customers for more design testing than any other car manufacturer.

Jolly good, I knew you would twig eventually.

Seems Jaguar may have seen the value in using minions.
