OK, so I have the old oil changed as the sleazoid dealer I bought form didn't even change 18 months old(or more) oil.
Go to leave work, and click-dead everything just after opening windows with the remote trick. A few minutes and I see the negative battery post cable clamp is broken. Fix that temporarily and now the e brake won't release.
Find a vid online and how to reset it which worked fine but all settings have reset. No one touch window closing and the like. One nice bit was the fuel cap code that's plagued me is gone and hopefully forgotten. Maybe it's easier tame a real Jaguar.

Even a slightly weak battery will throw electrical systems off, and have you chasing ghosts, either with codes in unrelated systems, or just plain nuisances. Test it before throwing any parts (ok, you do need a new cable) at it.
And, BTW, it might be a 24 month battery, which means it time bombed while snuggled in the trunk.

The only true break you can expect $ wise, is the fact that SOME parts carry a Ford part number cross reference (detailed lists are within this forum).
In this case, I am unaware of any Ford model with a trunk (boot) mounted battery nor equivalent ground cable.
Check your local listings on Craigslist for a cost effective used part from a part out.
