Hi my jaguar xtype sometime it show engine fault and loss power. When I switch engine off it disappears and regain the power. This happens now and then not constant
SOURCE: Noisy engine idle and stutter at low or high speed
I had the same problem (X-type 2.0d 2004). The stutter was cured on mine by getting the ECU fashed with the latest firmware. This is a known problem and the update does cure it (£28), I didn't bother with all the tests the garage wanted to.
The noisey engine at idle is the alternator belt. It resonates at idle and causes the noise, There is a modified bottom pulley, tensioner and belt kit, but it is rather expensive ~£200 plus fitting (around 4 hours labour). Mondeo's have the same problem but that kit doesn't fit the Jag.
Hope this helps

Check breather pipes, common thing on the jags, dragging oil residue and bad air into throttle, look for oil residue on engine.Good luck Davelee
SOURCE: Gearbox fault of Jaguar S Type
unfortunately when that code, and that gear box fault light comes on, its pretty much game over for the transmission. It only a matter of time before performance of the transmission gets worse and worse. BUT that transmission is VERY easy to replace, i would check out a few trustworthy independent shops to give you a better price! I am usually a die-hard dealership, having been working at this jaguar land rover dealership for the last 2 years, but you are pretty much for sure going to be a cheaper price on the labor and like i said it is a pretty easy task.
My only precaution MAKE SURE IF YOU GETTING A USED TRANSMISSION THAT YOU GET SOME TYPE OF WARRANTY ON IT. Too many times have I seen customers loose thousands of dollars paying someone to put a used engine or transmission and have it fail almost right away.

Could be your Rear ABS sensors , as that is the sensor that works for ABS and Traction control.

If I am understanding your post, I believe you do have a levelling
system
and it should be near your light switch on the dash. It is
the
type of switch that you depress first, it then springs out and
you
turn the small knob (just like your instrument panel lights
adjuster
next to it.) What you do not have perhaps, if your car is
not
fitted with HIDs (high intensity headlamps), is the automatic
levelling
system which is a legal requirement when HIDs are fitted
due to the
high power of the lights....
if you don't have a self-levelling system then you'll have a manual
system,
operated by a knob under the light switch so that you can
adjust to
compensate for a heavy load in the rear of the car.
Testimonial: "I did see the little knob on the dash under the headlight switch. i thought it was to dim the dash lights i will check it out and let you know. "
