Fully charge or replace the battery and see if all your problems are fixed. Jags hate low batteries even while the engine is running.

Morning guys
Once again the forum come up with the goods I did as advised and put the battery on charge all night it on the car this morning started perfect no flashing lights didn't cut out when I put the lights on, drove round the block with no obvious issues. Ithought it was going to cost me even more money thanks again guys

Good deal Garry. Even though you charged it all night the battery still may not be at its peak charge especially if you used a charger with automatic settings. If it’s driven daily and you still have warm temperatures then it will slowly over time get back to its peak
