Many thanks Mike -- success ! - Tony.

Can somebody please tell me where to find this. - Thank you - Tony.

Thank you Paul for bringing a smile to what has been a troubled face. Thanks to all for your time and suggestions, the problem was a faulty battery less than two years old !
Cabin ambience is now as it should be and my love of Jaguars is returning.

Merry Christmas.

Thanks Mike, I have a vehicle lift and had checked the operation of the brakes. The pads and discs are almost new and all seemed well.
I have put the car into the garage for a more sophisticated diagnostic reading so here's hoping.
Many thanks for taking the time. - Tony.

Thanks Mike, I had followed the instructions in your previous posts but to no avail. The motor operated when I bridged the terminals in the plug so the car is now mobile but no EPB just lights and gongs. I think I'll need to try a replacement module. Your thoughts? On the matter of 'old cars', at 73...

Further to my query above I have now freed the EPB using the useful info in Quikcat's post on Jaguar Forums.com. HOWEVER, the EPB is not working ( although the motor is), there is no response from operating the switch. The fault outlined above still shows on the Autel and I also have SCP (JI 850) Co...

OBD message says park brake motor in open circuit. I inadvertently allowed the battery to run down and the car failed to start. Since then I have charged the battery and driven the car although warning messages 'air suspension fault' and 'cannot apply park brake' have shown. I have gone through the ...

What a mine of useful information the JEC forums are, very many thanks once again.
Next task, sort out the EPB ! - Tony

Many thanks Mike, the sensors seemed ok and so I bit the bullet and drove her, after an initial hard ride she sorted herself out.
Thanks again - Tony.

The XK is tucked up for the winter and I have bought a 2007 XJ Sovereign. I have had it raised up for four days to remove sub-frame rust and treat the metal with Dinitrol. She is now back on her four wheels but the suspension is fully raised. I know that older models had a switch incorporated but th...

You were spot on with your diagnosis gents. I disconnected the battery, put it on trickle charge for 8 hours then called Jaguar Assist. A knowledgeable AA patrolman was with me inside half an hour, the engine was fired up and the computers checked. No faults found. I'll have to take her for a long t...

Many thanks gents, what a great club ! I shall get to it. - Tony.

I've just bought a 2006 XK8 with 5,603 miles on the clock and NINE Jaguar services in the book. I know that telling this will not win me any friends ! My other 1996 one was the pride of my life but this new one is something else. HOWEVER ! After a great 350 mile run home ( probably further and faste...

Job done, it took three hours of working the steering rack studs back and forth before I got all four out. I mixed some copperease into the WD40 to try to get some lubricatiion into the threads. As a footnote answer to my original question, NO YOU CAN'T CUT THE BOLT AND FIT NEW ONES FROM THE FRONT, ...

Many thanks to both of you, the twist socket set is a new one to me, I may invest. I had already given the bottom bolts a good melling with a lump hammer and my 13mm impact socket wasn't doing the job. . Following your reply ' Orkney', I borrowed a half inch hex from a neighbour and it did the job. ...
