Hi John T
I have just replied to someone with a similar problem on here try this link & hopefully some of the suggestions will help you

Hi Del,
I had a similar fault on my S Type where a fault message on the dash reads "ABS Traction Control Fault" & the ABS light stays on.
I tried all the cheap remedies like battery disconnection... clean the sensors etc etc without success, in the end I just took the car to my local Jag dealership & they identified faulty sensors, they kept it in for the day, replaced the R/H ABS sensor & reset the fault message & the problem was solved. I had the same message about 6 months later, took the car in & yes... it was the L/H ABS sensor which was replaced & problem solved :)
11 Months later the same fault message returned so I went back to the garage & they diagnosed a faulty sensor but as it was within the 12 Months since they were replaced they replaced the sensor free of charge... & I got to borrow an F Type shooting break for the weekend.... wow what a car (See photo)
Any way, I hope that you are able to solve yours with a cheap fix however my local dealership only charged me £274.00 including diagnostics, parts, labour & VAT which I thought was quite reasonable.

Wow are you saying that Stratstones charged you £199 & didn't at least identify the problem let alone solve it?... If that is the case, I would be disgusted.
If Stratstones, as a main Jaguar dealer can't identify the issue with their Jaguar specific diagnostic equipment, I would be very surprised if an independent garage would be able to help, but I guess all you can do is ask :(
I hope you are able to find someone to help out.
