Have problem with no start diagnosed as faulty BCM module after battery connection became loose. Jaguar replacement extortionate price added to which they don't have any and cannot give date of any being manufactured. Any info on this situation would be appreciated

hi

not to sure on the F-types, but on other cars with battery management the battery has to be programmed to the car, like on BMW's

replacing the battery or disconnecting the battery, can result in the car wont start afterwards until the battery is registered to the car

but Ive found out in a emergency, theres a sensor on the negative battery post that monitors battery charge and discharge, if this sensor is disconnected the car will start, but stop/start facility will be disabled, but ideal to get you home or to a garage

very handy if the battery need to be charged  or replaced, with out a proper garage doing it

icarsoft LR V2 can register battries on these

might not apply, but works on most stop/start cars

cheers
