RE: Remote problems
After checking the igintion switch, I noticed that there was no flap. I read about putting a couple of drops of oil on the key and wiggling for a while.Lo and behold, a flap popped out. I had the driver's side door open, and when the flap popped out, the chime stopped. I got out and pushed the lock on the remote, and it worked !!! Thanks so much. This was driving me crazy.

RE: Remote problems
Hi All,
I'm having a similarproblem which occurs every couple of months. I unlocked my 2000 XJ8 on Monday using the fob got into cabin and car is dead. There are no displays on dash (before I put the key in the ignition i.e.mileage), put key in ignition and turn - nothing no lights, info or crank.
I found this thread so this morning I noticed there was no "clunk" when I took the key out of the ignition and seen the flap wasnt closing. I used lube and now the flapcloses when I take the key out (although there is a small gap at the top (about 1mm).
I've opened and closed all doors, boot (trunk) and bonnet.
Still car is dead. I can't lock the car with the fob.
I don't know how but I can get an alarm of some sort when I play with locking/unlocking the drivers door with the key and then pressing "unlock" on the fob stops the alarm, so I'm sure the fob itself is ok.
As I said this happens every couple fo months and somehowI've resolved it by pure luck I think (previously by slamming boot or playing with key in the ignition).
I've been without my mistress for 3 days now and she is driving me bloody crazy. I just want her to be morelike a wife.
Please help!
Many thanks in advance

RE: Remote problems
Thank you, I will look at that when I get home tonight (had to go to work!)
Couple of extrainfo points:
When I initially opend the car with the fob, the doors unlocked but the boot could only be opened with the key and not using the button on the trunk/boot
The clock is still working
Not sure if that helps.
Ta,
