Laker, first off, welcome to JF. Lots of good information to be had here and lots of friendly people that are willing to help you out. As part of our striving to make this place better, we like to get to know one another. So, when you get a chance, please stop by the New Member section and give us a quick run down of what brought you to Jaguar and anything else that you may think we should know. This will also give you a chance to get to know those that make this place what it is.
As for your problem, the code is telling me that you have an issue with the left front wheel speed sensor. This is normally caused by 3 things: 1) damaged wiring, 2) bad wheel bearing, or 3) bad wheel speed sensor. From our experience, odds are, you have a bad wheel bearing. That tends to be what most people have happen to their cars. But, before you just replace the wheel bearing, there are some checks that you can do.
The easiest is to simply pull the wheel off and inspect the wiring between the wheel speed sensor and where it attaches to the body of the car. This will be the only cable near the hub of the wheel. Hand over hand the wiring to make sure there is no damage to the outer jacket. if there is, then odds are, that is the source of your problem. Repairs will need to be done to the wiring or a new cable may be required.
The next step is to unplug the wheel speed sensor and then undo the one bolt holding it in place. You can then pull it straight out and get access to the end of the sensor. There should be no damage to the tip. If you want to test it, you simply connect a multimeter (set to the 2V DC scale) to the 2 pins on the sensor. Carefully (you DO NOT!!!!! want to hit the end of the sensor) pass a large metal object near the end of the sensor. The faster and closer you can pass the metal object, the more the multimeter will jump/move. Like I mention, you don't want to strike the sensor as this will more than likely damage it.
If you can pass these 2 checks, then you most likely will need a new wheel bearing. Sometimes you can feel play in the hub assembly by trying to turn the front wheel (like the car was going to make a corner). If you see/feel any play, that is bad.
One word of caution, the bearing that goes in the hub has an inside and outside edge. The bearing needs to be installed with the correct orientation or you will end up with the same problem now since the magnetic ring inside the bearing will not be in the correct spot. the directions for the new bearing will tell you how to identify the inside and outside edges of the bearing. While a little more expensive, you can get a complete hub assembly and then you don't have to worry about the positioning of the bearing.
One question I do have for you is the P1100 code. Did you mean the P1000 code? P1000 is simply a code for all systems have not been checked which would be received since you have the C1155 code. Just making sure.
