Like this below. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/162160671984?lpid=122&chn=ps&adgroupid=33170564523&rlsatarget=pla-257284472760&adtype=pla&poi=&googleloc=1007192&device=c&campaignid=661219804&crdt=0 Plugs into the diagnostic socket ( usually under the dash...

Plugs into the diagnostic socket ( usually under the dash drivers side ), it will read any faults stored in the ECU.

It will have to be the correct OBD fault reader for your Jag though.
Has the engine management light been on ?.

If it has then the ECU will have stored the fault.

yes! thanks guys, this is exactly what i meant. There are two engine warning lights on, one is for the brakes and i'm not sure what the other problem is but this will tell me. I am looking to sell the car, and i'm hoping this will help me get a better price as they are not major problems. Thank you so much
Doubt if an OBD reader will tell you why your brake warning light is on, tandh.

They ( the brakes ) are separate to the ECU.
Question Author
oh no, sorry. The brake light is on as there is a problem with the sensor, i need this to know what the other problem is. the light you showed me the picture of is on, do you think this will tell me what is wrong? Also do you know how old my car is if it's a 51 plate reg?
51 reg.
The final three months of 2001 to the first three months of 2002.

Probably got a duff ABS sensor on one of your wheels, tandh.

The OBD reader will read the fault that has put your engine management light on.
Question Author
thank you so much tony, just put in a offer of £12 for one on ebay
Did you win it, tandh ?.
Question Author
got it for £13! bargain!
Thank you again my lovely, can't wait to sell it so i can have my driveway back for my little earnie car
£13, well done tandh.
Got to ask, what is your little ernie car ?.
Question Author
a peagoet 107. i've had him since i passed my driving test 4 years ago. He's never let me down, although i can really feel the difference between him and the jag, and i finally get why men want the bigger engine size
LOL, yeah quite a difference between ernie and a Jag.
Question Author
i know, and theirs quite a difference in the tax and insurance too. What car do you have? i bet that your renovating one now aren't you?
