Your Dynamic Stability Control and ABS are both critical safety system... Rather than TRYING to LIMP home... Park BRAKE means focus on the REAR AXLE...!! It might be Wiser to has a look at each wheel... and under the car to see if a ROAD-HAZARD has taken out speed sensor... or a similar SAFETY SYSTEMS impairment... Getting a FREE read from an AUTOZONE (were they're very likely to try to peddle OXYGEN SENSORS... (even if your wheel & tire are gone (in MY opinion))... might be better WITH ALL THAT rather than trying to LIMP home... Go to the JAGUAR (lovers) forum... for FREE help at http://www.jaguarforum.com/showthread.php?t=75161 ELSE I personally purchase the FACTORY WORKSHOP repair manuals (XJS: quite expensive)... but WORTH it. Much cheaper than letting "DEALERS" mess... things up ... Be safe... (tow it home... part of that British Charm (standing by the roadside waiting for a lorry)).

Check main fuse and relay. I think it's blown, possible ruptured heater core,

Disconnect your battery for 3 minutes. If it doesn't. You need a scanner.

the main problem with that car is corroded wiring first thing to check is the wiring behind the front bumper liner and the wiring to the fan module take off the front bumper under liner easy to get to the connectors there is 2 connectors and a small harness to the engine bay fusebox

you have done something very wrong obviously. I suggest you get a pro auto electrician round to quote for repairs before you set fire to the car.
