Hmmm "XJ6" suggests this is a Jaguar. Any particular century for a model year?



Flat of disconnected battery for any reason probably triggered it to think it was being stolen and may not run for you till reset. You could test for spark and fuel and see if either are missing but if antitheft something you'll need to know if some factory set up or if aftermarket no telling what to do IF THAT IS NOW THE REASON IT WONT START at all. Don't crank it to death or you'll add a new starter motor to the fix,
