ABS and BRAKE lights
I am getting those same Brake and ABS lights on my dash too when I hit the brakes. The accumulator ball / sphere has a warning on it that it has brake fluid under pressure and to not loosen or remove. What procedure did you use to relieve the pressure before you removed the accumulator ball? Also, is the ball held in place by just that hex nut/bolt on top?

The system is explained in the manual at this link:
Jaguar XJ40 Power Hydraulic System
The accumulator sphere is threaded onto the pump manifold. You may be able to loosen it using the hex socket, but I have typically used a strap-type oil filter wrench or a rubber-strap wrench.
