i have this same problem. an independent jaguar specialist here in the nw is stumped by whats gone wrong. he has checked the door mechanism and the central locking modules and they are working fine. i have contacted E&E in Milton Keynes and straight away he described the problems i am having. boot locks fuel filler cap locks and all lights flash as if its locking then the dreaded double beep and no doors locking with the fob or the interior buttons.Hatfields jaguar in Liverpool want £168+vat just to plug the car in. absolute robbery in my opinion. E&E said £90 and ut takes 30 mins to fix as its just a software fault. E&E will not share the fix with any one including jaguar, and i don't blame him.
i have contacted jaguar and surprise surprise lots of oh we are sorry your having a problem, but as the car is out of warranty we don't give a toss, and no we will not let you chat in any way with technical support as your not one of our franchises. anger, frustration and disgust are words that are just not strong enough for jaguar. this is a simple battery change that throws up a safety issue. owners are unable to lock their cars, jaguar are fully aware of this issue and refuse to take ownership of the problem.
are we owners really going to take this? i flatly refuse to pay £168 plus vat when every car in the world will at some point need a new battery. does any one have a remedy for this error?
