Not sure if it’s the answer, but worth the shot at sharing.

I had the same (or very similar) problem back in 2012/13ish. I actually posted it on here looking for answers. Kept getting a “gearbox fault” and limp mode. It was inconsistent. What ended up being the cause was the wires, or just a wire im not sure, from the harness that went into the TPS plug were damaged and frayed and poorly repaired. So any time I drove and jostled the car over bumps or rough road, the wire(s) would jiggle in the plug and break contact, throwing a fault and putting me into limp mode.

I had replaced the throttle body twice before the cause was discovered. I ended up getting it fixed and haven’t had the issue since. Best I can offer is to check that the wires in the plug are firmly secure and test continuity.

I have a 12,000 mile/12 month warranty (which ever comes first) but every mechanic I would call would d*mn near hang up on me for even mentioning the name jaguar. Its parked in a lot 20 miles from my house and I have no idea what to do with it now because if I give it back I lose my down payment of 2k. There is also a long red wire hanging from under the dash in which I have no clue what it goes to. There is a black wire with it that seems to be grounded by one of the bolts on my brake pedal mount.

I am lost right now because the only other vehicle I currently have is also almost broke down and if I lose my ride I'll lose my job. Could someone please give me some tips or link me something that could help?

I'm sorry to hear about the issues you're facing with your recently purchased Jaguar. Dealing with car troubles can be frustrating, but I'll try to provide some general tips that may help you navigate this situation:

Warranty coverage: Review the terms and conditions of your warranty carefully to understand what repairs are covered and any limitations or requirements. Contact the warranty provider to discuss the issues you're experiencing and inquire about their recommended repair process.
Diagnostic assessment: It's important to have a qualified mechanic or Jaguar specialist diagnose the specific problems with your vehicle. Try searching for independent mechanics or specialty shops in your area that have experience with Jaguars. They may be more willing to work on your car and can provide a professional assessment of the issues.
Seek a second opinion: If you've had difficulty finding a mechanic willing to work on your car, consider getting a second opinion from another mechanic or specialized shop. They may have a different perspective or be more knowledgeable about the particular model and its common issues.
Online forums and communities: Look for online communities, forums, or social media groups dedicated to Jaguar owners. Engaging with other Jaguar enthusiasts can provide valuable insights, recommendations, and potential solutions based on their experiences.
Legal options: If the issues persist and the warranty doesn't cover the necessary repairs, you may need to explore legal options. Consult with a lawyer or seek advice from consumer protection agencies in your area to understand your rights and possible recourse.

Remember, these suggestions are general in nature, and it's essential to consult with professionals and experts who can evaluate your specific situation and provide appropriate guidance.
