Thank Roy and Joe for your replies - I gave my car a good one hour run on motorway today in nice sunshine to charge the battery - will be doing more frequent drives to prevent it from getting dead. 
no luck with the door locks though - I have Noticed the need to press unlock button sometimes 1 or 2 times to unlock front doors but still rear doors doesn’t work .. 

when hitting lock button on fob - the lock knob moved just slightly but not as much as to lock it fully .. so leaving me with only option of doing it manually 😔😔😔.. 

read another post where some guys got the software reboot to fix these doors issues - I’m just too scared to try rebooting software (touching negative terminal to positive ) just to prevent messing Up with any other electricals.. 

don’t know what to do .. may be I should get door locks changed !! 

.. hi folks, any help / advise needed please 

just changed battery on my smart key and also yesterday car was unlocked for about 3-4 hours as I was giving it a deep clean without stripping anything etc .. When u locked the car both of my rear doors failed to lock on me .. I can manually lock them but smart key isn’t moving the latch fully to lock position -got me thinking may be my battery ran out or got weak and any other issue  ?

 I have been reading on few forums and different pages that many got it sorted through software update / reboot etc without the need to actually replace the door latches ! Any advise / suggestion if any of you have done it in similar way ?

Thanks a lot in advance folks - I have found many genuine and genius minds sitting here 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hi Roy any luck ? 
I’m having same issue where car wasn’tf used much due to lockdown routines and yesterday I was deep cleaning inside out without stripping anything.. when I tried to lock both of my rear door failed to lock ! Got me thinking simmering to do with battery losing power etc ? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I had a problem very similar to this in that my central locking failed after replacing the main car battery. Everything other than the locks were fine and the fuel filler flap locked ok but not the doors or boot. I went to a local specialist and also my main dealer and they didn't have a clue what the problem was, the main dealer wanted to start stripping the doors and locking modules but I decided to do a little more research first! 

I found a thread on another forum which was pretty much identical to this one and the poster reported that he had his problem fixed by a specialist in Milton Keynes called E & E Services. I called them up and they immediately knew what the issue was and how to fix it. I live a long way from Milton Keynes but just wanted to get it fixed so ended up driving up there this morning even though they offered to talk a local garage through the process on Autologic which apparently has a lot more workarounds than the standard Jag SSD system. The issue was that the door lock modules needed a security relearn and they did this in about 5 minutes! Then it was back on my way for the return leg of 110 miles...

If you've got this problem I'd definitely give E&E a call; I couldn't recommend them highly enough. I have no affiliation with them other than being a happy customer whose door locks now work again at minimal expense (particularly given that my local specialist wanted to change all the door locks and the local JLR main dealer wanted to strip the car!).

Hi mate thanks for sharing could you advise how much did they charge and if the issue is fully resolved after software update etc ?

i have similar issue on my Xf 2013 - door locks were absolutely fine until yesterday when I gave it a deep clean and car was unlocked for about 3-4 hours .. I didn’t strip anything was just cleaning under bonnet and interior.. now both rear  doors aren’t locking ..
