This morning I started the car X Type Estate 2006 and expected to see the engine warning light as we are having an EGR sensor valve fitted later this week, anyway whilst driving the speedometer was not working the clock face just showed a few lines, the traction light and abs warning light on the dial was showing, and the red brake light which is under the speedometer not in the circular area with all the other warning lights was on, I drove for about 35 mins then stopped, the car stalled and when I started it the lights disappeared, the performance is not good, but that I guess is to be expected with the EGR.
So just wanting to know if this is a common problem?

 

Ooops sorry should have said ' thank you for accepting me on to the forum, I have used it many times in the past, but not as a member, we have had 2 Jaguars, one saloon and the Estate which is causing a few issues now, anyway I posted a query before my intro so sorry.

 

Welcome to the forum sueneric,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Whenever the CEL and /or other warnings illuminate, the first thing to do is have the codes read as the initial step in troubleshooting. You already know you have an EGR issue which would account for the CEL. The other lights could be the result of a discharged or failing battery. The fact they went out on a restart after running for a while, giving the battery time to charge, makes this high on the possible causes list.
