Is the Wiring still disconnected from the switch?
If so, there is a contact of the Harness wiring when you left it loose. Not all models isolate accessory power suplies when the Ignition is switched off.

On some cars if you leave the indicator stalk in the turn position it switches the lights on when switch off the ignition.

you need to trace wires first cause there is a wire grounded over somewhere, could possibly be in the headlight switch

rear shocks are under the car, not inside the car.

1. Park your car on a level surface, facing a flat wall or garage door. Make sure the car is at a normal operating temperature and that the headlights are turned on.
2. Open the hood and locate the headlamp adjustment screws. These are usually located at the back of the headlamp assembly, near the firewall. There should be one screw that adjusts the vertical aim and another that adjusts the horizontal aim.
3. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to adjust the screws. Turning the vertical screw clockwise will lower the beam, while turning it counterclockwise will raise the beam. Turning the horizontal screw clockwise will move the beam to the right, while turning it counterclockwise will move the beam to the left.
4. Adjust the headlamps one at a time. Cover one of the headlamps with a thick cloth or cardboard to prevent any stray light from affecting your vision while you adjust the other headlamp.
5. Aim the headlamps so that the center of the beam is at the same height as the center of the headlamp lens. The horizontal aim should be straight ahead, with no visible lean to either side.
6. Test the headlamps on a dark road to make sure they are properly aimed. If you notice any unevenness or misalignment, make further adjustments as necessary.
7. Close the hood and enjoy your properly adjusted headlamps.

It's important to note that if you're not comfortable working with car electronics, or if you're unsure about any of the steps involved in adjusting your headlamps, it's best to consult a professional mechanic or authorized Jaguar dealership for assistance.

If you remove any gear that is coupling it to the motor you should be able to slide it back to where you want. I would put gear back just to hold it in place and keep it from moving. But you do have to replace that gearbox for future operation.

Hello You need to remove the fuel tank and clean it well so that you make sure that there are no water left in the tank

if its a v12 or super charged vehicle it has two inside the fuel tank, only one pump if it normal aspirated, remove the tank and you will find the pump/s under the round panel on top of the tank with the fuel level sensor/ you will need some pipe release tools to get the flow and return pipes out of the bottom of the tank, a bit of a pig to get to has they are under the vehicle above the differential, but have self sealing valves in the bottom of the tank so you dont get soaked!

Dont think they will be related but when you press the brake pedal with the ignition on can you here a solenoid click under the gear shift? These are common to fail and often don't release the shifter.

your Ignition Switch is bad here is how to replace it
The ignition switch is usually mounted to the steering column and is operated by a linkage rod.
NOTE On column-mounted ignition switches, don't confuse the switch with the lock cylinder and keys. The ignition switch is not normally visible. On some vehicles, the steering column support has to be removed and the column lowered to find the ignition switch. On others, the switch is accessible under the dash.
The ignition switch is operated by the key switch. Courtesy of Ford Motor Company. To replace the switch:

• Remove the ignition switch wiring harness.
• Unbolt it from its position.
• Bolt the new switch into position.
• Attach the witing harness.
