2002 Jaguar XK8.

Can anyone advise please ?

Engine starts fine , ticks over for approx 1 minute and then starts to " hunt ."

Main beam and both indicator lights permanently on.

Temperature , oil pressure and charging guages don't work , but each has a red light top right hand of the circle.

I have employed a mobile mechanic who connected up his diagnostic laptop to the car.

The following message was displayed on his computer.

P1638 -- CAN LINK -- ENGINE CONTROL MODULE/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CIRCUIT NETWORK MALFUNCTION.

The mechanic had no idea what this meant ( but still charged £50 .)

Anyone any ideas ?
