Brakes and Traction/Stability Control
I am thinking of purchasing a 98 XJ8, but the brakes need to be replaced and the traction/stability control dash display says fail. Could somebody give me some idea on what it would cost to fix these problems. The car is a gift for my mother, and I want it to be perfect when she gets it. If you could, email me at wga78@yahoo.com with your answers. Thanks a lot.

Hi WGA, I'm sure one of the Jag techs will be here shortly but in the meantime, the ASC is handled by the ABS system using the wheel sensors to determine which wheel is in danger of losing traction. It then applies slight braking to the opposite wheel to reduce the danger of a skid. Completing a good brake job and getting all the sensors back where they belong may cure the failure display on the dash.

Brutal is 100% correct, if you can get the codes read, it will help. I had an intermittent fault of this nature, so cleaned the abs sensors on the back of the discs, (you'll see them facing the toothed cog) with paper loaded with WD40. Took 20 mins, loads of gunk of them, and huzzar, lights have stayed off so far, 2,000 miles....
