yes thats it

Hi, this is a common problem normally caused by low battery voltage. Disconnect battery for 10 mins (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR RADIO CODE) reconnect battery - then follow instructions on dashboard to reset park/brake. Use this method for all p/brake faults as 95% of the time it resets them. If fault still consists remove boot interior carpet trim from the right side of the boot. Locate the module and disconnect it and reconnect all the connectors. If it still won't release, then you have to take tow it for service. Worst case senario is the handbake cables are cut and the motor will be replaced...

Often caused by low battery voltage - quick check = disconnect battery (make sure you have the radio code) leave for 10 mins then reconnect. follow the instructions on the dash board info panel and if this resets your brake then the battery is probably suspect. If it does not you may have a problem with the park brake module or the motor. hope this helps - good luck!

This is probably due to a DCCV (dual coolant control valve) failure. This is the 3 x pipe solenoid valve that controls hot water to your heater via two separate sides. You can see the valve - look into the engine and on your left down low just behind the radiator is the valve. (This has 3 x pipes and two metal cans on it) As it has failed on 1 x side only it is probably faulty - there have been issues with cable corrosion and control units but a faulty valve is likely to be the cause in this case. Hope this helps - good luck.

If no noise is heard the pump is not working, this is most likely to be a blown fuse. check fuse under bonnet usually fuse number 2 which is 10 amp (red).

If the brake will not release or not apply, try the following (making sure you have a fully charged battery) Disconnect battery for 10 mins ( make sure you have your radio code available- this will need to be entered after battery reconnected to use you radio) when battery reconnected follow instructions on your dash board message centre. If this fixes your problem the the fault was caused by low battery voltage. If the fault remains you have a problem with the brake module or motor. If the brake shows no fault messages but you still have a problem it could be a mechanical problem with the brake assembly which will need inspection. Hope this was of help - good luck.

As this is a 2008 car you should be covered by warranty. It needs further investigation into the wiring and control relays. The chances of two faulty screens so near together is highly unlikely so the fault probably does not lay with the screen, maybe the installation was not up to scratch and a connection or cable issue is involved. Take it back to Dealer or windscreen supplier - it should be their problem - not yours. Good luck.

You need to check the twin solenoid heat control valve found on the RHD side down by the base of the radiator. When these fail they mostly fail in the ''open'' state so hot water is constantly supplied to the heater. Possible causes 1 solenoid valve failed 2 cables and connectors to valve faulty (often suffer from corrosion and damage- inspect carefully) 3 voltage signals to valve from control module missing, the modules can suffer from a blown output transistor or damaged PCB tracks caused by high current shorting - (easily repairable) If its any comfort - I currently have a solenoid failure on one side of my valve so the passenger is roasting whilst I'm okay, good job its winter here ! I have checked all the above and know its a faulty valve so I will have to change it - but its a ***** of a job as there is no room to move !! hope this has helped - good luck !

I purchased a 2005 S-Type Jaguar recently and it is Bluetooth capable. I have synced my cell phone to it and it has accepted it. I can call out and it rings and I can hear the person on the other line. The problem is that they cannot hear me. When I start the car, I get a messages that says "Mute and replace handset to continue hands free call or replace handset to end call." What does that mean??? Please help.

I actually had this problem on my car. Water got into the parking break cable and froze it up. You may have to remove the tire and lightly tap on the cable lever by the break. If that doesn't work, disconnect it and take it to the shop to have it fixed.

is this the model with electric operated parking brake or the older type with a cable ,

do not know ,cant you araldite it back together

If you are smokeing white smoke out your exhust and you are low on anti freeze do not drive this vehicle any further you have a bad head gasket or a cracked head either way it needs major engine work.If you drive it further you will destroy the engine. check your oil if you see white stuff on dip stick if you do your anti freeze is now in your oil .have serviced by a compatent mechanic.

the jag parts guy quit, perhaps you could call a dealer.

Hi Caes431,
It would not be enough just to have the codes cleared. Whatever caused the warning to come on the first time, must be attended to and rectified. As the warning is still coming on it means the reason has not yet been attended to.
The vibration as you've described it may be caused by the same problem, as it would seem to be coming from rough engine performance and could be related to the emission control.
The jolt you're experiencing would seem to be something to do with the brakes....I would suggest that further investigation is required with particular attention paid to the fitting of the calipers.
