Hi Guys,

My first post, so bare with me . .

I have aquired a 2003 2.5 X-Type . . Unfortunately the car had a blowout on the front passenger side wheel, and the plastic wheel liner ripped the ABS wires apart, and now I have the ABS and Engine light on the dash, and the car doesn't sound too good. I took it to a reputable Jaguar dealership, and they informed me that I will need to purchase and re-install the entire wiring harness from the fusebox all the way to all other areas of the car ! ! ! WHAT? The cost for the fusebox and wiring harness is $2200 and labor $1500 . . . (PART# C2S26491) I asked a mechanic who I know, and he said I should just replace the torn wiring around the ABS area, it's a clip in wire etc . . I had that done, but same problem exists . . SURELY I don't have to have the entire car re-harnessed? HELP, ANY IDEAS? THANK YOU ALL INDEED. Ps - The cluster is making a slightly strange noise, electrical kind of noise . .
