An intermittent noise - sounds like driving over a cattle grid. Can be seconds, or couple of minutes. The sound seems to come from the rear axle on the drivers side. Anyone know what the cause is?

Car in excellent condition and regularly serviced by qualified Jaguar engineers - they are currently flummoxed!

SOURCE: screeching from engine when starting jaguar xk8 4ltr

If this engine has a serpentine belt, then chances are there is a bearing going out in the A/C compressor, idler tensioner, alternator, or other rotating item driven by the belt in the engine compartment.

If the belts are regular V belts, then add them to the list, including that they may be loose as well.

SOURCE: DSC and ABS Not avail lights come on after driving.

There is a switch underneath that goes out due to the debris underneath. Either take it to the shop or deal with the lights comming on.

Intermittant screeching noise by rear passenger side

Your description makes me worry. If you have a strange, unknown screeching noise coming from the right rear wheel and now there is a burning smell. Please stop using it and have it looked at as soon as possible. There are a few things that could be the cause of these symptoms. Wheel bearing failure, seized brake caliper or frozen caliper sliders, damaged brake line, seized E-brake cable, or improperly installed brake-pads. In any case, if you continue to drive this car, with these symptoms. You may cause a break-down (requiring a tow), or cause a fire. Let me know if I can answer any other questions or how the repair goes, good luck.

I had a squeaking noise coming from the rear of my truck when i started to accelerate after braking at a stop sign i replaced the pads, go the rotors reglazed and replaced the drivers side rear caliper...

Sounds like a ujoint is frozen in the rear driveshaft.Remove the rear driveshaft(block the wheels so it does not roll on to you).check the joints,there should be no play and you should have very little resistance when rotating the joint.It is most likely the joint at the rear axle.

Strange wobble noise

your bearings. thats what it sounds like to me. if it almost sounds like you have a big rock just jumbling around in your tire thats most likely your bearings. its pricey but its worth it to get it fixed. if thats not it check into your transfer case and your shocks

I am having an intermittent grinding noise that

Check the brakes to see if they are sticking and the pads not low. Check the wheel bearings. Jack up each wheel one at a time and spin the wheel and listen for abnormal sounds. Make sure the engine is off and do not ever get under the vehicle without proper jack stands! This is the first steps I would do, if not, you might want to check drive axles and related parts. Let me know what you find out. Also, this happens only when the vehicle is in motion? Thanks.
