The XK's use a CR2032 3v. I assume the XF is the same.

Confirm it is a CR2032. It is very sensitive to battery voltage. I have found Duracell "Duralock" to work well. Available at Walgreens.

AnneG, I think maybe you should remove your entire home address from your profile and approximate it instead. Loonies could be about!

One other thing Anne. There are a set of threads dedicated to the XF. For further issues with your car you will get better responses there.

Hi AnneG.
I'm a member of another new forum that covers the whole JLR group
Home | JagChat.
You should have a look there are lots of Xf owners. You can also sign up to the group attending the Jaguars at the Castle event at Warwick Castle in September. A great day out for all the family not just Car nuts.
