Please can anyone help? I have just tried to get into my Jag and the remote isn't working. Tried new batteries to no avail. I urgently need to at least get the car open to move her but I think if I use the key the alarm will go off. Is there anyway of disabling the alarm once I'm in the car?

Hello Steve
Thanks for your help! I'm in the car and I have moved it out of the way. The car battery was flat and it looks like there is some kind of electrical fault draining it.
I certainly owe you one!!!

Hello again Steve
I have got the battery on charge now but when I put it on charge whilst still connected the battery charger went quite odd ... over to 4 then back to 1 and the needle was moving all the time ... I disconnected the battery and have started charging it like that ... I'll see what happens in the next 24hrs!!
