Jaguar XJ8 - ECM change - dtruss

Hi,

My 2000 (W) Jaguar XJ8 3.2 won't come out of Park unless manually operated and then the brake lights do not work.

I've replaced the switch on the pedal cluster with a brand new unit and also the rotary switch on the gearbox but the problem still exists.

If I disconnect the battery for 24 hours or more, the problem seems to fix itself but soon returns leading me to think I have an ECM problem.

If I replace the ECM with a second hand unit, do I also need the key and barrel from the donor car?

Thanks in advance.
