Ok, worth a try… If your car is of the older variety, there is a b/tooth module below the passenger seat. This can suffer from water ingress. Check for damp carpets In newer cars, the module is in the centre console And in even newer cars, it’s built into the music centre bit - can’t remember it’s name… so, what I’m saying is - it’s probably a duff module!

Niaz Are the windows opening with their actual door buttons or the drivers door buttons? as for the locks, they fail quite a lot and the only option is a new lock or replacement internal lock motors
-
Lunar Only disconnect the battery neg if you know what you’re doing You could land in a whole heap of pain if the window is making a sound when operated, it looks like something’s eaten itself in the winder mechanism
-
Anything plugged into the car’s usb? This can cause bluetoth problems
-
As above Charge the battery
-
You will need to get the fault codes read If you don’t have a code reader yourself, go to an independent garage to get them read. This will be a lot cheaper Otherwise it’s just guesswork
-
Remove the windscreen…
-
You’ll need to get the security aspect of the car reprogrammed Because the main battery failed, it’s scrambled the security modules brains
-
The glow plug light will only come on if it’s cold enough outside

Here you go: Copy and paste this in the ebay search thingy DuroSense TPMS Tyre Pressure Sensor Preprogrammed For Jaguar | DS167JAG

I went through this nightmare with exactly the same car - year as well. When the correct tpms valves get fitted, the car should recognise them, otherwise they are the wrong ones. Fit the right ones and five minutes later at above 20mph and the lights go out I got them from ebay and are blue, that’s what I remember I’ll try and find the ones I fitted…

XF battery replaced - still showing low battery warning
Bigvic replied to Les1967's topic in Jaguar XF Club
Check and see if the car’s charging the battery -
XF 2.7 2008 - Prem Lux Diesel, shudder under acceleration when warm.
Bigvic replied to Nicster's topic in Jaguar XF Club
Agreed Old or low oil. Get the correct stuff and go for thar first - it’s going to be waaay the cheapest… Next is the super expensive bits, namely, torque converter or worn g/box clutch plates- 1 reply

Intermittent Acceleration on 2011 XF Prem Lux 2.2 Deisel
Bigvic replied to Alan Matthews's topic in Jaguar XF Club
It will don’t put your foot on the brake when you press the start button -
You have to wait ten minutes for the oil level bit Mirrors will fold when the door lock’s fixed or replaced, they are linked Get the diff fixed, otherwise it’ll cost you an arm and a leg
-
I’ll go for diesel dilution, miles since last reset and time The choice is yours If in any doubt, change it anyway
-
What is the engine size? what are the symptoms leading up to restricted mode? what are the codes thrown up? why did the garage say you need a new block?
-
Good idea to check for water in the boot too
-
These codes are classic battery problem codes. Did you tell the battery monitoring system that you have a new battery?
-
Lots of things can throw up an RP issue, but if the fault code points to the turbo, I think I’d be rooting about there first
-
Restricted performance when accelerating - intermittent (back again)
Bigvic replied to Coolcity's topic in Jaguar XF Club
Very difficult or pretty much impossible to fix an air leak on the manifold They might look plastic, but it’s some kind of composite It should have been changed if they got that far to attempt a repair -
If they work ok in the dry, then it must be a rain sensor fault
-
Welding to wheels? tell us more…
-
They probably just want to empty your wallet But I’m an awfy cynic…

The module normally doesn’t need replaced, just reprogrammed There is a jag indie in paisley across from st mirrens ground (can’t remember their name) who would help and be considerably cheaper
