A friend of mine runs a 54 plated S type, a 2.5 auto, anyway the gearbox has failed. While looking for possible causes he came across a bit of info. If one of the rear light are out it closes down the gearbox apparently. Handy if you forget to carry spare bulbs.
By the way, if anybody knows of a good box, let me know.
I forget whether it was a VW or Rover (I know that sounds odd but they were two previous cars I owned and it was one of those marques) that had some odd issue when a rear brake or tail light failed. I'm sure it was VW/Audi. I don't recall the problem now though.
Jag now fixed, some more digging revealed it was a clip on the selector, new clip, job done. I have riven this car a couple of times, I woud not buy one but I have to say it is quite a pleasant drive and reasonably economical.
