and it's in theft mode immobilised is there aw y past this it's driving me mad 

I've but new battery on ,I've tried resetting with positive battery cable

ive tried both keys ,there was a blown fuse for PATS system(though I got lucky and found fault but nothing)

ive had a diagnostics guy with top equipment try and clear the code but again nothing 

when key in getting message steering Collumn locked is the a way of getting past the theft shut down or is of to get it scraped thanks 

Toni

I would think that's a Jaguar main dealer Job! I cant see them being able to resolve with your car at home, so it may have to be picked up, its a phone call to confirm

Perhaps a mobile Auto locksmith, AA / RAC? just a couple of other random thoughts

regards

Steve

 

Ok thanks for the advice il have a ring round don't way to spend a fortune on it though il see if I get anywhere ringing around thank you 

Toni.

You have already asked this in another thread.

Further, you have apparently already started breaking the car.

Not at all sure what you are hoping to achieve?

r, I was going to break but decided not to that's a last resort ,although I didn't  but that on my previous thread ??but decided not to I did open a new thread a few days ago I'm new to the forum thing I couldn't fiqure out how to delete I wanted to open a new thread with abit more detail of the problem and what I've tried to do I'm trying to achieve some one hopefully beable to let me know if I can get past this problem , I know the car is theft mode I've gone through all the charts etc on line I'm trying to find out if there ls away past this fault I know what the problem is 

Thanks for the update Toni

It all makes sense now.

I hope you can sort it out. Would much rather see a car than a pile of bits

It's a pity you aren't closer to me. I could at least put the diagnostics on and get a clue. In my (limited) experience, a great many of these security type problems can be dealt with by a software tweak.

I did have a diagnostic guy out he said his equipment was top off the range stuff but I'm. Abit clueless when it comes to the computer side of things he got the code p1260 but his computer wud to clear the code , sury it can be sorted some how but it's driving me bonkers lol 

I meant the Jaguar specific diagnostic software Toni. SDD / IDS.

Oh lol told u I'm not to good with the computer side of things lol ,

how do I go about that I'm more co fused now lol 

I've just had a look online at the add/ids you mentioned , I have some discs that came with the car not sure what's on them. 

So do I need someone with the piece of kit mentioned online to do it hope that makes sense :)

It is a dealership tool Toni, but your local indie will have it as do some of the enthusiasts on this forum, amongst others. You need the software but also the appropriate hardware, in my case a Mongoose adaptor.

I think it might be the software on tbe disc I have I'm guessing a dealer will charge arm and leg 🤔 For this as I  can't get the car to anyone need them to be mobile,

il have alook online tomorrow see if I can find anything local il keep you posted and thank you for all your advice 😊

Most dealers will put your car on the diagnostics for 0.5 hours labour charge Toni, average £80. You could also get any customer preferences set as well.

An indie would do so for less and might be prepared to visit. Or maybe somebody on the forum local to you might be willing to help?
