in the end i used a company called blackcountry jaguaR who i sent my faulty abs module too and they repared and returned it same day ,excellent service and only 60 pounds all in,when i fitted it abs light and track control lights were both out{first time in seven years,i did have to bleed breaks ,very easy,so good end result,very easy job to remove abs module,removing windscreen washer filler made it alot easier,

Hello all,
I no this has been covered many times.
I have the abs warning light on and track control on dash. I've fully charged battery and check all conection on speed sensors, removed them all and cleaned them all.
I was gonna look and ecm module but noticied it has weird shaped screws on lid, not star ones. Ware do i get this tool?
I was gonna just unplug ecm n check connection of link harness. I no u can buy the ecms very cheap now on ebay for xk8 1998. If i do a straight swap will it be ok?
I've had this fault for seven years but it usually goes away. This time its not. I no u can open up ecu and resolder but dont want to.
I have disconnected battery and checked for any fault codes on my little code checking machine. All is clear. Main thing I want to no is how do I get to link harness from inside the car?
kind regards

Please use line breaks. A solid block of text is VERY hard work to read!
Are these the fixings you mean? (RH side already removed in this pic):
If so, you can release and refit them with a broad bladed screwdriver.

Enjoy the moment. it's not often you have the chance to link the words 'easy' and 'fix' when it comes to Jaguar modules.
