Default Car won’t start - gear not in park message

Hi Everyone,

just got a used f-type MY18 V6 and it acting strange. The car won’t start and I receive a messge that gear is not on park although it is. The start botton blinks and then it dies. When cold it starts fine. After deiving for a while and I switch it off, it does not start. When I level it to cool off it starts again. Problem keeps on repeating. Took it ti a jaguar mechanic and they changed the gear box chip with the whole panel. Along with oil. Said water leaked to old panel and caused the issue. After paying for new parts (chip and whole panel) the problem came back immediately. I already lost usd 10k. Please help if anyone faced this. Translation of message in video is “

gear not in park”

Maybe nothing, but the first thing i would do is make sure the battery is 100% charged
