[quote="henrym3"] If these electrical companies can repair an ABS module why can't they do a seat module, you never hear of one getting repaired, why. [/quote] I'm lead to believe that it's the relay units that fail in these switch units and for a few quid I'm going to purchase a cheap sma...

Hello hope you've now settled in with little to no issues with your x5.

[quote="themoog"] It won't be the connections trust me. These modules fail after 10 years or so. I've had to replace both on our cars in the last 6 months at £90 a pop. Second hand..  New is a lot of dosh. The lumbar control is separate from the other controls- that's why it still works. Y...

[quote="henrym3"] More than likely the seat module, but worth taking it out and use some contact cleaner on the plugs see if that works, if not, then it's a rather expensive module. To state the obvious, it's not a fuse as you have power. If memory serves right the lumbar isn't plugged int...

Hi all just giving the car a once over and found that the drivers seat positioning electrics are not working correctly?? The switch controls for the seat positioning and memory unit are not working correctly,(the lumber control switch is working correctly)? If you tap one of the position switches, s...

Having now charmed down a bit (ONLY A BIT  >:() I've thought after dropping the engine oil , removing the filter housing and connecting pipework Q1 Does anyone know of a flow diagram the oil takes around the M62 engine?, ( i.e. sump, strainer, oil filter, oil cooler etc etc) to which I could methodi...

Hi All As you do, I thought as it's a good day (It Was  >:() I thought I'd change the engine oil and filter. Drained the oil and opened up the filter housing to find that the inner tower piece was in bits. The only thing I can think of is that the garage that carried out the last service had over ti...

BRACKET LOCATION?? (An MFI MOMENT,For those of us who remember that well loved furniture store !!) Okay ALL I've put everything back together but for some unknown reason I've one bracket left over (Just like those MFI Projects LOL). The bracket is very clean so I think it must be off something towar...

"But personally just turn the bulb failure off for number plate lights, not forgetting there are 3 checks in the LCM for Hot, Cold and In service." Okay 1- So how do you go about turning the bulb failure for number plate lights function off??? 2 - Is this accessed via the hidden menu? 3 -...

[quote="dark_stranger"] I am also getting the same error after installed LED number plate units.  Can anyone provide a link to the resistor I need. Aware this is a rather old thread. [/quote] To be totally honest with you I never got to the bottom of sorting this problem out on my X5, and ...

[quote="henrym3"] Am suffering considerable confusion with the mod. Had a small leak from one of the pipes which needed the fan and cowl removed to get at. Leak fixed, topped up and decided to run engine without fan fitted to see if the aux/ac fan would cut in. It cut in at 90c and kept th...

Hi All
Does anyone running on LPG have any kind of a Valve Saver Protection Kit fitted to their vehicle?
Whats your opinion on them??? Are they a good investment??? Are they needed with today's engine???
thanks

[quote="henrym3"] I resealed mine with RTV 2 years ago and it's still ok, as I'm sure you have already found once the r/h  (in your pic) screw is removed  the cover will come off. The spark plug is screwed into the cylinder head, therefore will not come off with the rocker cover as opposed...

[quote="AW8"] Thanks for obtaining info & sharing It should be noted that ZF recommend a change but only between 50 & 75k. Most owners of E53 models now have cars with over 75k. It is frustrating that when many cars had 50-75k BMW dealers were advocating zero maintenance lifetime f...
