Hey everybody I am Ben, Just bought my x type about a week ago, drives fine other than a little 1st gear late shifting, a leaking in the housing unit for the coolant, and it needs some front end work. Anyway, I started it up this morning, sounded fine, started driving it and a little orange light popped up(see pic) anlong with this it said "cruise control unavailable" the Orange light sometimes solid, other times blinking, I also noticed when I accelerated my car was kind of shaking( never done this before) but when I let go of the gas it was as smooth as could be? I'm really worried this has something to do with the transmission, help!

Welcome to the forum Ben,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
The orange warning is the MIL (Malfunction Indication Light) also known as the Check Engine Light. When this is set, the engine can also go into 'limp home' mode with reduced performance.
Many faults can trigger this. To find out exactly why the MIL is illuminated, you should have the codes read and post them in the X-Type tech forum for advice.
Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x-type-14/ to the X-Type forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.
Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.
You can also visit the USA Mid West Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/usa-mid-west-il-ia-mi-mn-mo-oh-wi-39/ to find other members in your region.
Enjoy the forums.
Graham
