but someone was throwing the switch, regularly.

Do you really think someone was taking the time to monitor your car, and killing the engine just to mess with you or your wife?

I'll take the Occom's Razor approach: The 1986 switch was malfunctioning.

I know someone with a couple of Jag Xj cars. Some liked playing with her kill switches too.

I can verify those cars do have a kill switch, and it is the only thing that functions properly

It was an attempt at humor. 1986 was probably the nadir of Jaguar reliability, and that is saying something. They slid into the end of the 1980’s as a failing venture and were bought by Ford for a song. Ford lost $billions over the next two decades before unloading them to Tata - which seems to have turned it around as a brand. But in the 1980’s they were terribly unreliable.
