Thanks Peter

The remote has been tested & working as it should with a new battery! it appears that the issue is with the car!

Thanks for your response though

Hi Guys & Gals

I have had my S Type 2.7 V6 diesel for 6 months or may be more now & I love the thing, I posted here about battery problems when I first had it & got loads of great advice! which fortunately sorted my issue!

I have another issue now which I could use some help on if you don't mind?

Long story short Grandson got hold of key fob & was pressing buttons like crazy out of house window! (not sure if that is relevant) & fob stopped working! boot was open, car unlocked & headlights were on.

Once the fob was retrieved it no longer worked! it would start the car but none of the buttons worked!

Changed battery but no joy, contacted Jaguar dealer but told new one needed & 100's of £'s

Sent it away to a specialist who were great, but they found no fault with the fob at all.

They advised me to get the car checked!

Anyone had this issue before? & any advice?

Rob

Hi Darren

I am new here too I recently bought the S Type 2.7 diesel & love it! However I didn't love it enough to part with my beloved ST so kept that too.

Best of both worlds,

I hope you enjoy your Jaguar.

Rob

Thanks Chidders

I don't know why I didn't think of that especially as I have a couple of bikes that do about 100 miles per year between them, both with optimizers to keep their batteries alive!

This old age is taking more of a toll than I thought!

Going to buy one today.

I forgot to mention I live on the Isle of Wight so unless I do laps all journeys are short!

Hi Julie

Hi Guys

I am new here & new to Jaguar, Wanted an S Type for ages but couldn't find exactly what I wanted! settled for a low miles (58,000) Diesel in the end & am not dissapointed. All good to start with, but after sitting for a week it's started to beeb three times when cranked to start. I have a citroen that chimes when starting if the battery is low. Is this the same? the battery looks like new but of course it lives in the rather plush boot! so why wouldn't eh? since its been beeping I get random Park Brake faults, cured by turning the car off, getting out, locking it & starting again! & random Drivers & passenger air bag lights (but never at the same time) Is this new battery time or have I bought an electrical Nightmare? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Rob
