Welcome to the forum garyz08! I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. Perhaps try reposting your question in the Pacific Northwest section, as I think most Washingtonians frequent there. Here's the link: Northwest - Washington/Oregon/Idaho & SW Canadians - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum

Don't forget to set up your signature so people know what you have at a glance; and if you have a moment, drop a "hello" and a few pics in the new member intro section as well! I hope you get your answers. I haven't seen as many posters from the "sunny side" of the Cascades.

 

Hi Gary and welcome,
For the brakes, take the wheels off and inspect them. They may need replacing or it could just be the pads require a bit of copper grease applying to the piston side of the pads.

The headlight could be a bust lamp, worth checking first.

The engine may just need a good service. Worth checking and cleaning the various connections to sensors and throttle body.

Hope this helps,
