Do you have access to a code reader ,obd2, and if so what are the fault codes, is the battery fully charged ,12.5v at least prior to start,any other symptoms?

Welcome to the forum Jag_67,

(I've deleted your identical post about this issue from the end of Thomas Eggleston's Intro thread.)

Battery has to be the first suspect - especially when you see odd messages appearing in the dash display.

Next favourite is connections in the High Power Protection Module (see item 5):

Cable connections are known to come loose or break at the lugs.
