The 1999 XJ8 was made with a Nikasil impregnated piston liner that caused major recalls for Jaguar, Mercedes BMW and others. The problems were caused because they did not realize that Nikasil would not bear up to high sulfur fuels.

Go to the GOOGLE and simply put in the word Nikasil and make your own decisions.

Like Clark said, there are cylinder issues. But I would bet that your engine has already been replaced. Symtoms of bad bores is poor idle and lack of power.
