Default Gearbox fault warning

I have a 1998 XK8 4 litre. It starts up ok, but dashlights flickering and engine running a bit rough. The messages are: Traction Control fail, stability control fail and gearbox fault. Any help and advice would be welcome.
Thanks
Rick Douglas

Thank you for replying Gus. There are no codes showing. How do I access them please. I have only recently purchased the car and have not had an
XK8 before. I love it!!

Many thanks

Rick

You need an OBD code reader.

- I use an OBD/Bluetooth dongle (from eBay)+ the Torque app.
Before getting too excited it is worth getting your battery checked - tired batteries upset these cars.
