God bless you

has the battery been disconnected? If so, I have heard of this problem. The on board computer speaks to the car constantly and after 10 days of non charging the battery is flat! The only solution is a visit to your nearest Jag garage to get it all re-programmed, this solution would also include Battery disconnection. Check with a Jag garage first, it's free to ask, but this sounds like your problem. A major design flaw if you ask me.

make sure your linkage is connected...if not it wont go anywhere...also make sure your drive shaft is connected

the engine light wont turn off unless the issue is resolves because it iis operated through the CAN ..

Gearstick,gearstick linkage,or clutch good look I hope this helps (Rate me answer please)

I purchased very similar here in the UK £4800 (trade) two years ago, only problem so far has been O2 sensor failure which I replaced myself but was still fairly expensive. Other than that car has been good. Check for Jag service history

please explain a bit better ,is it stuck in one gear ,is it the gearstick all floppy??

If it's a later model (post 98), then I have an idea what's happened. On the rounded ball end of the gear stick that goes in the box, there is meant to be a plastic bush that is only a very loose fit on the end of the stick. If it has dropped while either removing or replacing the gearstick, and fallen into the area at the back of where the gearstick actuates the shift rail, then apart from having a very sloppy gearstick, you won't be able to move the shift rail backwards - which is what happens when you move the gearstick forward (1st,3rd,5th). This should be fixable from in the cab. Of course, if you have an earlier model, none of the above applies, as you have the gearstick moving only one of a choice of three shift rails with no bush in that area. The only thing that happens to those is the spring on the gearstick breaks (that can't be replaced on its own!)

The oil filter is at the front of the engine under the plastic belly cover, it is of the paper type hope this halps you out.
