Did you turn the key on at any time when the wheelspeed sensor (this is what detects the rotation of the "ABS ring") was disconnected? You may have to interrogate the ABS controller with a diagnostic computer to read the diagnostic trouble codes and then clear them. Also, you may have to drive the car 10km per hour for a few moments after the codes are cleared to get the light to go out.

• Drain the gas and after you drain the gas let it dry for a day and then buy a new gas and replace the fuel filter also to avoid moist from the water.
• Also make sure check the hose of the fuel make sure there are no leaks.

I assume you mean the engine temp sensor?It is the brass nut under the grey protector

ACCESS WITH KEY TO TRUNK:
There is a trunk lock cylinder in the trunk emblem between the "X" and the "K".


JUMP BATTERY INSTRUCTIONS:
You can jump the battery lug on the fuse box under the hood. Open the hood and you will see the positive cable under a rubber boot in the front of the driver side shock tower. Install the positive cable of you jumper to that lug and the negative side to a nut on the strut tower. There may be a plastic cover over the strut nuts that will need to be pulled of. This should give you enough juice to open the trunk.

2 batteries, + side down.

replace the seat control switch is the most common problem

See a Jaguar dealer.

hi did you check youer fuses and relays for the engine fan if all good .
check the fan and see if it is geting power.
it well have power after engine is at temp. if no power
check the engine temp sensor.

i would have your muffler checked it may be coming apart inside and causing increased back pressure hence the louder noise

engine performance will only go up, but the noise level could be illegal

could just be a vacuum leak or the throttle plates are dirty

It means that the trunk is locked with a code( Usually entered with the radio buttons) that prevents any valet service from raiding your personals in the trunk.Check your users manual for the card that contains the code. It is like the radio code that if stolen will not work until the right code is entered. Your Jaguar dealer will be able to help you as like the radio it is tied to the vin# and I think the radio serial number on some models

CC and CE the same

more likely the door handle mechanism is either broken or came undone, the only way to get to it and see what broken or came off is to remove the door cover panel, its not easy job and its time consuming if not mechanical incline although it something fairly simple to fix and repair. you may just have to replace inner door handle if it broken off from the linkage.
