Jeep xj repair after attempted theft.
Hi I'm looking for some information. After spending weeks trying to sort my power issues out on my 2.5td xj and finally finding the problem yesterday, someone attempted to nick it last night.
They have smashed the door lock , smashed the driver's window, removed the ignition barrel and broke bits around it ,snapped the steering lock and cut through steering wheel to remove the steering lock and broke the indicators stalk by the looks of it. They also took the light out of the roof for some reason I managed to turn it over earlier and it did fire up but ran for about 5 seconds. It done that a few times and in the end it's just turning over. I now have the key light up and engine management.
I'm guessing it's a coded key and that's why it won't run.
Do you know if it's a case of replacing the barrel with a matching key and that will make it run. ?
Thanks
