I would make a start on checking the connections to the battery and the earth connections to the body...

Many thanks ,I hadn't thought of that !

I have owned a 58 plate XF for 18 months and have been delighted  with the car with the exception of the electronics which continue to play up occasionally.

For the first 3 months of ownership the car was almost impossible to lock on the plipper without the alarm going off and also starting was a problem intermittantly.One Jaguar garage claimed never to have seen the fault before although they claimed to have sorted it .

Then after 3 months the car began to behave normally as if to accept me as the new owner (I know it sounds daft).

Recently ,however , it has started repeating the problem ,both when locking and starting and I am beginning to lose faith in what otherwise is a superb car.

Honest John referred to electronic problems on early models and I wonder whether any other owners have encountered this problem?
