2004 S-Type 2.7D when attempting to start, nothing happens.

Check all wiring under the car. Transmission and ABS are not talking to the bcm. Maybe rat damage or something you ran over.

I have a a jag XF 2012 with a DSC not available sign on, abs fault and an EBD fault displayed on my dashboard. Please weong with the car?

Get your vehicle checked by a Good mechanic as soon as possible!!!
EBD Translates as 'Electronic Brakeforce Distribution'. This means there is a problem with your brakes or the electronics controlling them. EBD is part of your Antilock Braking System.
It could be as simple as a faulty sensor or something more serious such as a failed brake caliper.

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)

My jaguar 2001 x type jag has a warning on dashboard that say dsc or dcs failure can i get this warning to go away from dashboard and what is the fault

The DSC light stands for Dynamic Skid Control or in lawmen's terms Traction Control. If the light stays on you have a problem with this system. You will need to have it diagnosed by someone who has the tools and expertise to find the problem. More than likely you are going to have to take it to a Jaguar dealer.

Jaguar dsc fault

DSC is your dynamic stability control, you probably went over something really hard and caused a fault, this is a normal response. If the fault stays on disconnect the battery and leave for five mins then reconnect, if you still have the same robelem your DSC module is faulty, it is located on the rear axel it is a block with an arm connected to the axel mid way on the axel.
Has nothing to do with yor abs the juddering was probably you driving over something which triggered the fault.
hope this helps

Speedometer not working

speedometer get speed signal from ABS. ABS and DSC are two functionality in same ECU. 
You shall read faults from ABS/DSC ECU.
Most frequently, there are problems with speed sensors on wheels.
With ignition on, you shall measure voltage on both wires (- pole of voltmeter shall be connected on vehicle ground). You will see one sensor without voltage supply. This will sensor with problem. you can, for check, change sensors on same axle (left and right). 
Switch ignition off, and on. 
If voltage supply missing will go on another side (with faulty sensor), you will be sure that is problem is sensor.

Hi,
Check carefully ant wiring loom you may have moved to replace the shaft.

As you were only working on mechanical items, and just moving electrical systems, it is almost certainly a break in the loom or a faulty connector in that area. You may need to unwrap the loom a bit.

Hope this solves it for you.
Thanks for using Fixya!
