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 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.

You will need tools to move the seat forward once the battery is disconnected or if the seat twists and will not move forward for access the two rear bolts. It's a pain trying to do it manually.
@clivemilton you are right, but at this time we do not even know what Jag this is. Could be a mid 60's XJ6 or anything in between. This is what happens when OP's do not provide enough information.
@oldturkey03 The other thing is in seat airbags complicate it because now you need to unbolt the seat first, then disconnect the battery and wait 10-15 minutes before you remove it because of the black box logging issue and nature of how sensitive airbags are.
@nick until we know the exact year and model, it's all a guess :-)
@oldturkey03 I still put some general airbag seat cautions in because we don't know if it's something theirs has.

As you can see from @nick's answer, there are a lot of unknowns involved since you didn't tell us what year or model your car is. There are a lot of different ways seats may be mounted and connected, and we can't tell you exactly how unless we know that information.

@dadibrokeit It’s probably the same as 95% of cars. The issue is knowing how they do it for bolts. A lot of Euro cars use torx or metric while USDM brands use fractional. The issue is I can’t verify the procedure without knowing a year or model (ie 2020 Xj). Some Jags also consider the bolts single-use, so that's another thing we need to check for (but blue Loctite might help keep them in place if the OP doesn't replace them) but that's usually only with sear airbags. It became widespread when airbags were added to the car seats as standard equipment.
