I have had my car since feb08, it developed a whine when cold but only over 40mph, the garage i got it from couldn't work out why, it also has had a message in the message centre saying 'Gearbox fault Cruise control unavailable' it then goes into limp mode, If you switch off the ignition and wait for a few moments before restarting the problem rights itself. It doesn't do it all the time but it is a bit of a worry not know when it will do it next.
Anyone got any idea's???
It also could be the driveshaft
I had a similar problem mine was caused by a small split in the advance and ****** pipe it was a very easy repair i undid the oil filler car and undid the cover 3 screws on the right hand was a small pipe (this had split) Jaguar wanted £26.00 for the part so i went to a local garage and purchased a piece of pipe for £0.50p cut it to length and fitted it it took about 15mins to do this the car now works fine
Whenever
this warning light or any other stays on in the dash it is indicating
that the systems control module (or the system sensor in the case of
lights like low oil pressure, door open indicators etc.) has detected
a fault, it then disables the system (this applies to ABS,TCS, TCM,
SRS and BCM faults and others) as long as the light is on. You must
now have the dealer hook up a special electronic diagnostic tool and
"scan" the system for the fault code that is stored for the
problem(s)

I have the same problem here except mine sets as soon as you turn the key. Did you ever get your problem solved? The one we have is a 2002 AWD X-Type.
