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

In my opinion, it may be best to obtain an entire steering column, wheel and assembly, preferably with key
You can contact wreckers or advertise in the classifieds
I dont know what year your XJ is, '96 and earlier did not have an Immobiliser
I believe I have complete assembly with key for a '96, PM me if interested
One more thing...that theft sounds like an
inside job
