Afternoon all.

After charging battery and having her off the road from September time last year, the good weather motivated me to start her up today. All was well until I went to put her in gear. The J gate seemed extremely sticky. After a bit of persuasion I managed to find R and N, but I couldn't get it into D. I had to move the car forward slightly so drove the stick over to the manual side. It now is stuck between D and 4 and won't let me come back through D to get to P again. The dash also displays gearbox fault and it won't let me take key out of ignition.

Is this reeaaaally bad.... Or just another Jag anomaly after a period of off-road time?
