Use your owners manual to program the keyDon't need a dealer,you just need the info onthe procedure,a dealer may give that to youfree,if not don't get involved with them,ask a localshop for the procedure

There is too much missing from this question. If everywhere is locked, you need the CAA, AA, or RAC, or an auto-locksmith. If you have the car open, you can normally release the emergency catch by getting in from behind the back seat. https://www.google.com/search?q=03+jaguar+xtype+get+in+locked+trunk ..

I have worked on a 2003 x-type with the same problem. Unplug your fluid level float and e brake switch. Remove instrument cluster. On the right side connector,(White) cut the zip tie on the connector, slide the white clip off on the left side of the connector. It should slide out of the connector. You want to cut 2 black wires from pin 12 and 15. Pin 12 (Master cylinder float) will be the second from the right in the top row. Pin 15 (E brake switch) will be the one all the way on the left on the bottom row. Make sure you cut about 3 inches from the connector. Plug the instrument cluster back in and check if the light went out. If it goes out, you have a short in the harness. You will have to run a new wire to the float or e brake switch. If it stays on, strip all 4 wires and connect them all together and solder them. Check to see if the light went out. If it is out, you just saved yourself from replacing the instrument cluster. This happens when one of the outputs does not have the needed 10 volts comming out of it. By combining them it gives the 10 volts or more to the dead side of the input. If you still have a brake light after combining them, then get a fuse holder and a fuse tap and put a .5 amp fuse in it and combine it to the four that are combined. Make sure you fuse tap a fuse that goes on and off with the ignition switch. If this fails, then you have a bad instrument cluster. About $150 online.

Check to see if you have a local uhaul store. They usually have a hitch for any kind off car. If not , check Google for locating a hitch for your make and model.

check connections and make sure correctly installed

You don't. You replace the AC condenser with a Bypass Pulley. It uses the same belt and routing and fits in its place. https://www.google.com/search?q=03+jaguar+x+type+3.0+ac+bypass+pulley ..

I would have the code checked again if it is still 1646 then you need to check the connector and wiring for this sensor.

Just to confirm that the sensor you changed is the rear (near the engine bay bulkhead) upstream (upper sensor of the two) , in most cases a grey connector.

My jaguar gearbox light has came up some one help please

Should see about 4 plastic push pins holding
inner fender shield

I assume you going after the fuel filter or pcm
connnectors etc

There are tools for that,but you can use pliers or
a screw driver to pull pin out part way,then the round
fastener

You intank Fuel pump is another probable cause. Happened to me twice

The 2.5-liter X-Type gets a 194-horsepower and the 231-hp 3.0-liter V-6 model gets an increase to 231 horsepower.------------------------------------------------Car cable & OBD Connector

How you checked and make sure you do not have an anti-theft system built-in?

It will be a sensor. Use an OBDII tool to read the error.

I have a 2002 X type (2 litre. done 44000 miles), dash showed gear box problem, (red circle light up). I pulled out and turned the engine off. 5 minutes later turned the engine on. The engine running but the car would not drive either in drive or reverse. Turned the engine off again and on the car driving but not much power. The care is taken to the Jag. dealer and told is misfiring + some gear box faults. Suggesting to change some coils and see (cost about £200+). also possible need to change the gear box costing about £2500+. Please advice. Shall I go ahead with the repair? Should I part exchange.

if i understand you correctly just disconnect the power lead to the battery for a few minutes and then reconnect it

I have an 04 xj8. the lug nuts are a good bad example of half baked engineering. the lug nuts are fabricated from ugly steel with an 11/16 hex end. to beautify this, Jaguar overlays the nut end with a stainless steel 3/4 inch cap, crimped to the nut. On top of this, the nut is to be torqued to 90+ ft-lb! The only way to remove the lug nut without damage is with a SIX POINT socket and a breaker bar or an impact wrench. Using a 12 point socket will deform the cap, causing the wrench to spin on the cap and or the cap to spin on the nut itself. If that has happened, it is possible to recover using a 15 oz or thereabouts ball peen hammer and a deep 3/4 inch impact socket (the black ones). Line up the socket to the cap, doing a best guess to where the flats are and give the socket a light blow. Keep trying that until the socket seems to stick on, then hit it harder. Eventually you will find the right point and the socket will go on and reform the cap. Then a breaker bar can remove the cap/nut. New assemblies can be had for about $6 from "partsbin" or "autohausaz".

Hi Is the car Petrol or Diesel fuel ? If its petrol I would think the petrol has gone off after 3 years ,it turns a dark yellow in colour I had the same problem Hope this helps Nick

First question: Is it possible you put gasoline in the tank by mistake instead of diesel (or that gasoline was added to the wrong tank at the gas station)? If not, then suggestions: --Maybe an electrical sensor or connection got wet. Open the hood and let everything dry out for a few hours, then try again. If that fixed the problem, check all electrical connections for areas where water could penetrate, and repair/replace as needed. --Borrow a code reader from an auto parts store (free) and check to see if there are any trouble codes (fairly easy procedure). Then look 'em up online. --If your problem isn't the wrong fuel or wet connections, I think the likeliest cause is a bad crankshaft or camshaft sensor. When one of those fails, the computer often has a "limp" mode that will let the engine run, but at low RPM.

If it will not unlock with the key, replace the latch/lock.
