Hey all. One of my key fobs is starting to fail. It's the "unlock" button. When depressed, it will not activate open, and sometimes takes several attempts using my finder nail, rather than just a light press with a finger tip. I've changed the battery to no improvement.

Any suggestions anyone? Or is it a new one I need, and if so, where is it best to go for one?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks fellas.

Ah...... Looks good, but not available for diesels.

Tough Mick.

Terracleaned Peter?.

I'll look that up.... Lol

Celtic Tuning did a great job. All I can say about the remap....... Is ........

W O W ! ! ! !

I thought it was quick before. Now, it's like a jet taking off.

To be honest, it's a little frightening....... The front end lifts 3 or 4 inches as I accelerate, never noticed that before. From 20mph, round a small round about, opening onto a straight open country road near me, I punched it in 2nd gear, and it hit 45 instantly; up to 3rd, and to the floor again......65 in a flash........ I would never have believed it.

As for MPG..... Exceeded expectations. Used to see 52.5 mpg ave on the trip at a constant 56 mph. Straight Dual carriageway, on the level. Cruise control engaged. Reset once settled. Always 52.5 ave mph on the same stretch.

After the remap. Same procedure, same piece of road.

61.8 ave mph ! ! ! !

Fantastic ! ! ! !

Lol...... Will do.

Thanks for that. I add the millers in correct ratio. But took your previous advice, and to avoid any potential rear end smoke, (although I never noticed any, anyway), I now only add 25ml of 2 stroke, farther than the 50ml to a full tank.

Running really well and tonnes of power when needed, to what I'm used to.

Looking forward to the remap on the 22nd. Now I've had the car for nearly a month, I have a good feel for it, so should be in a position to detect the difference after remap.

My son and I, have been debating whether we should advise our insurance companies of our remaps.

He feels inclined not to bother, but I am more cautious, since any modifications should be advised. He believes that it may just be an excuse to increase premiums, and as he says, it's not as if he has removed an engine, and replaced it with a more powerful one.

Any thoughts?

Celtic booked for 22nd. Can't wait.

Do I have to let my garage know of the remapping, for when they service it?

And should I mention I am adding Millers and a touch of 2 stroke?

Nice. I've not noticed any smoke in the mirror, but that could be down to the way I drive. In view of what you mention, I'll use the Millers in the correct ratio (50 ml to a full tank), but I'll try the 2 stroke at 20 to 25 ml to a full tank.

Just can't wait to get the tune booked now. Easter is holding me back....LOL

My son has just gone from his beloved performance car, to a family motor. He acquired a Grand Scenic 7 Seater. Big carrier required because their first is due as of yesterday. Loads of kit to be carried from now on. It's on an 2011 plate. 1500 deisal. He is going to map it at the same time as me.

Celtic have got back to me now with a two vehicles, same address location. £250 each. I am to call them on Tuesday and book it.

My X type sport SE seems to be running quieter now that I've added the Millers and the Castrol 2 stroke Racing Oil.

I did think of just trying the Millers first, but went for both in the end.

The noticeable quieter running to me is at start and idle. Can't wait for the retune now.

Will post results here in due course.

Thanks Mick. Already started with the additives.... And seeing a difference straight away.

Celtic have been back to me today, and I'll be booking them soon.

Thank you Peter....

Very useful thread..... Sold it on me. Want to remap to mainly improve MPG, with a little improved performance too.

Steve Lee. New X type owner, and new member.

Hi all. My name is Steve. I live in North Wales, and I have just got myself an X type, which is my first Jaguar car. It's been a life long dream, and it have finally achieved it. It's a dream to drive, and I'm like a pig in mud. Expecting our first grandchild this week, so it's all happening for me now..... Lol

Same as you Paul. Just got my first Jaguar. (X type). Always dreamed of getting one. Just joined too. Good luck.
