Welcome to the forum spoonz007,

I've moved your question from General Tech Help to X350 forum. Members here with the same model will be able to help.

Please follow this link New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the New Member Area - Intro a MUST forum and post some information about yourself and your vehicle for all members to see. In return you'll get a proper welcome and some useful advice about posting to the forum.

By the sound of things you have a dead battery.

You may also have a dead starter if it only clicks and does not turn the engine over.

The other possibility, even tho remote, you have a locked engine possibly because of fuel flooding a cylinder
or even something else flooding a cylinder.

Any failure codes?
