Default Question on 1999 XK8

I have a 1999 jaguar XK8 with a dead battery. It's so dead that I can't get into the trunk in order to hook up a battery charger to charge it. Does anyone know how to get into the trunk. There must be some solution that was put in for this occurence.

many thanks

Have you tried inserting and twisting the key? It's between the X and the K in the XK8 logo on the boot.

You can charge, but not jump start, the battery from the fuse/relay boxes' power connection points under the hood.
