Hi Julian and welcome to the Club.

 

I am no electrical expert but I do know that main dealers do charge a lot.

 

The first question is that did you get a warranty from the dealer from whom you bought the car?  If so, a little trip back there is called for.

 

Otherwise, have a look in the forum on this site "Jaguar Owners Lounge" where you will find a list of recommended garages.

 

There is also the option of finding an auto locksmith close to you who will probably able to sort it out if it is a fob fault.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

That's good, Julian.  Old Lancashiremen like me are not mean but we do like the best price.
