Steelback

is that the beaulieu silk cut jag?

Love the pics!

Yes - taken a couple of years ago now :)

Apparently it is not a common problem on the X-Type, but a few cases have been reported on the S-Type. Here is what the mechanic told me -

Warning lights, rev counter dropping off and a blank mileage display told me that the vehicle had lost its CAN communication network. The control modules use this network to pass information which also includes the security ID which will stop the vehicle from starting.

The immobiliser system on this vehicle is software based and has a number of modules all linked together and passing data between then, it is not based on one unit.

Here is an image of an X-Type dash with the problem

Following the earlier post in this forum with ref immobiliser problems - the fault has now been traced to a can bus failure - will see if I can get some more details tomorrow when I pick the car up - just wondering whether it is a common problem or not.

Found this on a Ford Mondeo site ( All fords fitted with can-bus have problems with ribbon type cable's. Later paired white twisted wire, has proved more reliable.)

Hi and welcome :D

Hello - enjoy the new car :D

welcome to the Jaguar Owners Club :)

I haven't heard of any common problems with the immobiliser, They will probably reset and tune the key back in to the car

Thanks Steve and thanks for the welcome :)

Hi guys and girls

Just joined the forum the other day - got myself a 2004 X - Type Diesel Sport, been promising myself one for a little while. Second day, though back to the dealers with an immobiliser problem which took the fun out of it a bit - hopefully get it back tomorrow. Anyway looking forward to chatting with you guys

Cheers

Hi guys and girls

I have just got myself an X-Type Diesel Sport and was wondering if any one had issues with the the immobiliser. Battery is ok in the fob but the car will not start and the red immobiliser light by the gear lever is staying on. The car is back at the dealers now for them to check it out, but was not sure if this is a common problem.
