Sounds like you have a current drain on the battery even when switch off. With the ignition off put a ammeter between the negative lead and the negative terminal of the battery and measure the current drain. If detected now remove and reinsert each fuse in turn noting the change in current flow. By this process you will isolate the offending circuit. Interior glove-box or trunk lights can be the very devil since like a fridge light you can never tell if they go off when they should.

The fuel heater light on my xtype started flashing and the ABS lights. After a few more short journeys the ignition engine warning light is now on and staying on . I've also noticed a loss of power and...

I had a very similar problem (did not have the abs light) but had the other lights. Changed fuel filter as the problem seemed to be a fuel pressure problem. Turbo was back and no flashing heater light, engine light will go out after about three cold to hot starts as long as no other problem exists. It's worth a try as it is a cheap and relatively easy repaire to do. If not the answer take to a garage who can interrogate the computer.

On my 2.0 deisel Jaguar Xtype car lost power

the most common cause of that prob with xtype diesel is the hose going to the intercooler splits and leaks or the jubilee clip on the intercooler has corroded and broken allowing the hose to blow off not easy to get to to repair
