Hi all   I have a beautiful 2007 3.5 L S type with about 77K miles.  It has been in inside storage since about last Oct, with  a Deltran smart charger on it constantly. When I first started it today it fired right up but sounded a little rough. I went for a short drive (<1 mile) when I realized it was in limp mode. I made it home OK and shut it off. Battery was 12.5V . Then all hell broke loose. I put my scanner on and it said "link error".    The message center now gives the following: Brake assist fault, gearbox fault, DSC not available, cannot apply parkbrake, apply foot and parkbrake. Also, the CEL light is on, the amber priority light is on, gearshift is stuck in park, and the ABS light is on. Finally the starter won't spin.  It sounded like a security system issue to me, but I could not find a security light.on the console. I have owned the car for about 2 years, and it has been perfectly reliable up to now. The battery is about 3 years  old. I do not drive it a lot, only on special occasions, Obviously I need help. The car won't move and it is blocking the wife's car.  I am looking at releasing the parkbrake manually as a place to start. Any wisdom would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance. John PS.

Good morning to all. Jag S type 2007 2.7 Diesel with auto gearbox.  Running very well until - yesterday stuck in massive traffic queues in Gloucester. Short while in queue suddenly the car lurched and jumped forward realising the electronic handbrake. Caught it in time not to hit the car ahead. Gearbox then lurched the car a couple of times.  Dash came up with ABS fault, Elect hand break fault, Gearbox fault.  Queue number one went but car very slow on pickup. Next queue and another couple of gearbox jerks. Still very slow pulling away with turbos spinning fast. Left the queues and drove home ok but still with the gearbox fault showing and ABS fault as well. Home - left car for an hour - went out and tried it but still the same but only gearbox fault showing up, no ABS fault. Left overnight, tried this morning, car running perfectly, no faults, everything back to normal! Second time this has happened although this time worse than previously - is the gearbox overheating as it only seems to happen in traffic queues, never on the open road? Had new Oil, filter and sump (kit) fitted to the gearbox just after I bought the car, a few months ago by local all makes garage but gearbox would only take 3.5 litres of Oil.  Could it be that there is not enough Oil to keep the gearbox cool although the garage did seems to know what they were doing and it was an ex- Jag technician that did the work so he should know what he was doing. Reason for the gearbox oil change was simply that the car had done 70k miles and was 17 years old when I bought it. HELP, HELP! Geoff.

Thanks so much, I did it👍👍👍👍 

Have owned two of these X-Types and sort of understand. They were a bit of a compromise but their poor reviews at the time were genuinely unfounded. Yes, it comes from a time when Ford owned Jaguar and were desperately trying to make the company profitable. So does everyone's much hated S-Type where faster or rarer versions are getting some love back Yes, the floopan, engine and switchgear was done by ford but please remember it still used original Jag interiors and trim Am selling or scrapping mine because it's an old, poorly maintained one but does have a a few points going for it. Good, old Frod Dynatic Engine and the CD player works, but only on Tuesdays. PM me fore it has to go to the great Jag Dealer in the Sky I also need the space as my little Daimler 250 might be coming back soon Can honestly say I love them. Not a great idea from Jaguar but served as my intro to the world of. As the competitor to the BMW 3 series it failed, as a cheap old wreck that nobody loves it still makes sense if you can afford the repair bills on an old car
