Does anyone want to earn some £ to come and fix this with me? I'd rather get it done myself, with some oversight, than to be pay Jag £250 just to look at it.

Is this easily doable / replaceable? I want to avoid drilling anything. What are Jag going to charge me to change?

Car stank and was taking ages to demist. Found some mold growing. An investigation and bingo. Wheel well was about 6inches deep in rusty water. I'm surprised nothing shorted. So, now the fix. Anyone know what it'll cost me? I'm not skilled enough to do this stuff myself. I ran a hose over the car and saw where the water was entering. Visible in one of the pics. Help!

Hi. I'm in need of having my ABS sensor replaced, according to the error codes. A local garage can't find the part and it looks like the only option is to book it in with a dealer. I'd like to avoid that high cost, if I can. Does anyone know a good place to source these parts? Is it likely a garage would sell me one direct?

Thanks for the advice, appreciate it. The S/S worked once, yesterday. It's a manual, so may just be my driving style. I've done what I think is right, so put in to neutral and apply handbrake etc. My car doesn't have a S/S battery. Though I swapped the battery like for like. It's a 65 plate and still have the original battery, so would be time for that to change soon anyway. I've reached out for quotes on the ABS sensor and hoping it's that. Otherwise it's a pricey loom for me 😞 I may regret not buying an extended warranty. Unfortunately I live in flat, do can't run a charger to the car. I've invested in a solar trickle charger, which may help a tad.

OK, so @Big John wins. Battery was fine and a change hasn't solved the issue. Codes are hinting to it being the ABS sensor, offside front. Then two faults related to "High Speed CAN communication bus"... whatever that does.

A useful response, thanks John. I'm booked in for a battery change, anyway, as S/S hasn't been working for the last 8 months. I hadn't really thought about it, just putting it down to me not 'activating' it properly. But if that doesn't solve things, then It'll be on to the wheel sensor next. Would be a real pain if that, and the TPMS, went at the same time. I don't have a reversing camera, only the audible sensor, which still works. That may also indicate it's not just a battery issue. I suspect I've got a duff battery, as well as some failed sensor.

I'm hoping so! Fingers crossed, getting it checked in Halfords tomorrow.

Just see this thread and it may have saved me! I've had exactly the same issue and most people are advising me it is likely to be a low battery. However after a 200 mile drive it's still the same. Hopefully just the ABS sensor then!

I'm worrying so. Would the sensor cause the other lights to flash too? For example, I've also got the 'tyre pressure not available' warning along with no traction control etc

Thanks. I borrowed a similar one from my brother, over the weekend. I got a reading of 12.4v, with the car on but not running. Currently have a solar charger on the jump points, so let's see. I drove a good 200+ miles yesterday, to British Motor Show and back. Unfortunately that didn't turn the lights off. So I'm worried it's a little more serious. If that doesn't charge the batter then what will!?

Good question, that I missed. I have almost never managed to get the stop/start to actually work. So that could indicate a battery issue.

I don't have means to test the voltage, I'll see if Halford's will do it for me. Has anyone tried one of the solar (overnight) trickle chargers?

I tried reading codes using my Carly OBD. It seemed to cut the engine off!

Thanks for the advice. I drove it for a good 30 minutes and they didn't go off. However I'll grab a charger and see what it can do.
