I JUST BOUGHT A 1999 3LTR S-TYPE, SMASHING CAR, WHEN I BOUGHT IT IT HAD A FEW FAULTS HEATING NOT WORKING....FIXED NEEDED NEW HEATER VALVE, IT CUTS OUT WHEN IDLE THINK ITS A AIR PIPE.
THE BIG BUG I HAVE IS THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON AND STAYS ON WITH NOTE SAYING TRACTION CONTROL ERROR, WHEN I PUSH THE TRACTION BUTTON NOTHING HAPPENS, AND BOY I NOW ITS OFF AS I WENT OUT YESTERDAY IN THE CAR AND I WAS DOING SOME SLIDDING LIKE THE JAPS.

As you have engine-related codes too, ignore the brake codes for now.
hmm... you have quite a few codes so could you have a failing battery? It's the usual cause. The next cause is water in the trunk (here we say boot). Check it's not wet or damp near the spare tire (tyre) / battery / fuse box / modules in there.

x2 that would be next on my list to check.
