ps. should have added this is a good feature on the new jags it stops somebody else taking your car without your permission. once the valet code has been set. regardless ,weather you have the smart key on your person. the car will ask for the code before it starts. a very clever and good idea in my opinion. but unfortune, if you forget it, then its ither the hand book or main dealer. to reset it along with security questions, not saying that ian is stealling the car but dont know what else to do apart from that to get him back on the road. charlie
