HI all,

I'm trying to help my dad out source the issue with his 2007 XJ8 Vanden Plas. The local jag dealer near us couldnt figure it out.

Initial problem was suddenly an ebrake fault and couldnt get car out of park BUT it would start. This was intermittent. He changed battery, dealer couldnt determine issue etc. It sat for a few days and I went to move it and not it wont start and cycles through a bunch of faults, a one being ebrake fault and another about the ignition and steering. I'm going to stop by and get an accurate report on the codes it displays but wanted to see if this sounds familiar?

Also, there a good shop in the Bay Area, Norther Cali for Jags? They might know.

 

I can't seem to edit. This is what it says when I go to start:

Gearbox Fault, DSC Not Available, Air Suspension Fault, ABS Fault, Apply Footbrake and Parkbrake, Cannot Apply Parkbrake, Limiter Not Available, Cruise Not Available

 

how old is the battery?

 

Battery is 8 months old but my dad is going to test it. Should be fine right?

 

Or the one of the earths has corroded, with a list like that I would be checking the earths.

 

As JoeDredd said, with that many codes at once it's most likely a ground stud fault or a poor battery.
