live data should show whats going on if you can record the data that would be even better

what causes the ABS to kick in when it's not supposed to is the speed signal being interrupted not enough to throw a fault up but enough to fool the system into thinking a wheel has locked the trouble is because a wheel hasn't actually locked it's hard to determine which sensor is at fault you really need to be looking at live data to see which wheel sensor is causing the problem rest assured it will give a fault eventually

iv'e come across it twice but both on hondas not jags both times it was a failing ABS wheel sensor

i got the optical cable with the CDC i used it to modify the existing cable to accommodate the CDC iv'e seen a few on ebay for sale on there own or maybe put a shout out on one of the facebook pages and yea it's a slow day 🙂

have a read of this it seems as if it's not as simple as just replacing the cd player https://www.jaguarforum.com/showthread.php?t=34299

mine didn't have the CDC as standard and fitting one was very straightforward once you have the bits you need along with the CDC you will also need the D2B optical link cable so you can daisy chain the CDC into the fibre optic loop each component needs to be connected in a particular order CD Autochanger Telephone Module Voice Module Navigation Control Module Power Amplifier Then back to the Audio Head Unit ignore the components you don't have a typical setup on a non premium audio would be CDC , Bluetooth telephone module , SatNav module and they would be linked with the D2B optical cable in that order your D2B fibre optic cable comes as a pair ( 1 in 1 out ) you need to follow the in and out path of each component to make sure your connecting them in the right order the plugs on the D2B optic cable can be pulled apart which makes it quite easy modify the overall loop to configure the cable to what you have installed it's just a matter of maintaining the loop from start to finish in the right order on the wiring loom behind the satnav module you will see a small 3 pin connector which is used to supply power to the cdc unit good luck...

there is no factory fit options to play music over blue tooth it sounds like whatever is in your mates car will be an after market product however there are ways round this with some already mentioned cheapest option is to buy a bluetooth FM transmitter from the likes of ebay or banggood something like this which i have ordered and am waiting to arrive https://www.banggood.com/Bakeey-HD-Digital-Display-QC3_0-Dual-Output-bluetooth-5_0-Aux-TF-Card-U-Disk-Fast-Charging-USB-Car-Charger-for-iPhone11-Pro-Max-for-Samsung-S20-Xiaomi-Redmi-K30-p-1670607.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN there dozens of different type of these bluetooth to FM transmitters but essentially there all the same iv'e tried one and for the money they are surprisingly good some people have fitted the parrot hands free kits which i believe allow music streaming there are DIY options one known as Jagdroid which looks quite involving to fit there'a also the optional extra ACM unit that replaces the CD multi changer in the boot and gives Ipod connection , Aux and USB inputs but no bluetooth music streaming but these are expensive and hard to find a few people have gone down the 3rd party avenue and fitted full blown android head units and discarded the factory fit but if you have satnav you will need the non satnav climate control unit as this is part of the multi display head unit, you will also lose all other functions this controls like bluetooth phone and cd multi changer but the android head unit should make up for the loss with it's own functions iv'e left the factory options alone and play cd's through the multichanger and ordered on of the transmitters above in case i want to stream music

either way if the disks had fractures they would have to replaced anyway and that usually means new pads to go with the new disks

the 2ltr diesel doesn't have a DPF so i think we can count that out these cars go into limp mode for a variety of reasons i would start by getting the fault codes read and see where they point to if you want to do a bit of investigative work your self i would start with the cheapest options first check that the turbo actuator is moving as it should, there is a cir clip on the actuator arm that is easy to remove allowing you to check if the vanes in the turbo are moving freely along their full travel the coil tends to flash on startup or very shortly after starting if the turbo vanes are gummed up but this is not the only reason why the coil light flashes it's just one of em check the EGR pipes for splitting especially the one directly below the EGR valve symptoms can be flashing coil light, limp mode and loads of smoke when trying to accelerate hard a seized EGR valve can cause limp mode too when was the fuel filter last changed ? after checking the EGR valve and surrounding pipes and the turbo actuator and vanes for gumming up things start to get a little more expensive doing whats know as an injector leak off test can tell you if the injectors are good or bad but things start to get expensive from there on

i would start at the fuel filter make sure the water drain off tap at the bottom of the filter is tight or maybe a quality replacement filter

couple of things to look at make sure the slide pins are not seized put a little smear of copper grease on the back of the pads check the pistons for corrosion that can cause brake binding

might be the coil packs breaking down

do you have satnav ? the thing in the boot could be one of 2 things, if you have satnav it will be the satnav dvd module if no satnav it will be a CDC ( cd changer ) that takes 6 discs via a cd cassette , there should be a button on the cd player in the dash marked CDC

might be worth putting some injector cleaner in the tank wait till your low on fuel and put a couple of bottles in to make it a little more concentrated then take it for a blast do this just before it is due it's re test

simple check if it has indicators in the mirrors it is the face lift model if not it's pre 2007 / 2008 other things are smooth bumpers, pre face lift have trim ( sometimes chrome ) in the bumper corners the chrome strip on the boot goes all the way across on the face lift it doesn't on the pre 2007 / 2008 models face lift model pre face lift model
