Depending on the year of the Jag, you may need to disconnect a wiring harness, but the process is generally the same, with the exception that it might use Metric or Torx screws, being a European car. The big three (Audi/VAG, Mercedes, BMW/Mini) all do it to some degree with the engine bay, so check if it uses Torx before starting. If it isn't using Toex, it's probably using metric bolts, such as 10mm.

The big three (Audi/VAG, Mercedes, BMW/Mini) all do it to some degree with the engine bay, so check if it uses Torx before starting. If it isn't using Torx it’s probably using metric bolts for the seats. 10mm is common but you will need to check.
For electric seats, push the seat back, and then you remove those first. Once you've removed the bolts from the front, you'll need to push the seat forward and then remove the remaining two bolts. If there is no seat airbag, you can remove it without an issue at this point. You will want to wait 10-15 minutes before removal if the seat has airbags in it to avoid triggering it and having to do a black box reset/replacement and a new seat. Either way if you can unbolt it with power this will make the job way easier as you get the hard part done.

If it is manually adjusted, the seat is ready to go when the bolts are removed. ***A lot of the newer cars (especially the airbag seat ones) use single-use torque to yield bolts, and you have to replace those as they are designed to warp and stay in place. You genuinely cannot reuse those.***
