cleaned out the boot..water seems to be coming through under the battery...will check again after next rainfall.....whilst there i thought i'd check brake switch fuse...how the hell is a 6'4'' guy supposed to get access to the footwell fuse box lol....whoever designed that should spend rest of his life going round all jag owners to replace any fuse.

I wonder if that's causing battery issues...nothing much I can do until new battery arrives.

Thanks Joe. Put battery on charge in situ and brake lights are permanently on during charge which leads me to think brake switch...ordered new battery anyway as got a good deal online...there is water underneath battery holder..no idea where that is coming in.

no codes shown.

no warning lights appeared...i have a code reader so may be worth trying anyway i suppose.

hello. i have a 2002 s type..couple of weeks ago auto gearbox wouldn't allow me to shift from park when engine had been running for a while whilst parked..switching off engine and restarting cured it but happened 3 more times..no warning lights...2 days ago gearbox wouldn't change up out of 1st gear just revs high..no warning lights..weirdly headlight began flashing when not switched on. brakes lights remained on even when key out of ignition and drained battery...i have battery on charge in situ and brake lights are on....i know poor battery can cause all sorts of issues. so...could it be...gearbox..poor battery..faulty brake switch ? booked into garage but cant fit me in til 10 days. thanks.
