I cannot get my car back into P or R. I can get it
Hi This is likely the selector lever lock out malfunctioning. There is a electrical solenoid under the shifter that prevents it from moving out of P to any gear without pressing the Brake Pedal.
Check with dealer to make see if there is any warranty or goodwill repair they will do.
This is sometimes caused by fold spilling sticky liquid into the shifter area. If you think this might apply in this instance obtain some deionized or distilled water and spay down into the shifter and move the lever back and forth . Allow a few minutes for it to soak and try again.
You will do not harm if you follow my instruction to use distilled water. If it works, allow to dry for a while and them spay down with WD40 which is a water dispersant and will not harm the electrics.
Please leave feed back no matter the outcome.

Where is the Body Control Module in a 06 Jaguar XJ8 L? I'm not mechanical minded but learning.
in what country is car, or sold to new.?first. VIN codes tell this.
RHD cars are not like LHD
USA uses LHD, see? left hand drive.
this is a WWW forum word wide , and can not be guessed ever.
your dealer has service manual.
or your dealers web site shows the BCM and where it fits on the car.
most do. better makers of cars sure do.
and question #1 by them is VIN, no vin NO JOY. period
also know that BCMs lie to you (as do all computers on earth)
if battery voltgage is slow 10vdc is fail,
or alternator is bad caused battery to fail (cause true and effects all)(
did you scan your car first. see DTC errors first
and check all fuses first firsts?
loose or rusty battery lugs? clean them
or reset the BCM ,by pulling battery neg lug for 1hour. ? or more.
there are some Idea's hope i saved you $500 USD
