everybody needs a reliable car- that is why they stay away from those 21st Century Jags- fix it and get rid of it- you are starting on the long trail of tears-

I forgot to mention that there is several warning messages such as transmission fault , cruise control inoperable, engine light on, also a number of lights are on on the dashboardand I presume it is useing limp mode because I had to bypass the ignition switch and used a wire to put power to the solenoid terminal. I believe that one or two of the modules are not working but its finding out what ones I conected a code reader to the car then found out it doesnt have Jaguar in the list of cars I tried Ford being as Ford made these cars didnt work either.
