Unfortunately, the battery has run out in the spare key, haven't got around to changing it!

Hi guys

Need a little help or pointers as to what might be the problem I have at the moment with the central locking...

I can't lock the car remotely or with the key in the lock. The key has no resistance in the lock and turns quite a bit. I can unlock the boot fine. When I'm sat in the car I can ...

Thanks 

Thanks for the advice

Found this on eBay, which looks like its the Haulingan unit but, I have a couple of questions if some one in the know could help that would be great.....

Can anyone tell if this is a MK4 or MK5 unit ...

Don't worry, found some on ebay under different names

Didn't get time to get back in there yesterday, will have a go tonight when I get home

Thanks guys. Yep, the lights do take a while to go out, usually 5-8 miles or so.... I thought it would be tied to the engine/oil temperature tbh, just wanted to make sure I wasn't being dumb....lol

I'm trying to source an Hauligan replacement head unit, but can't seem to find one for sale any where ...

Can anyone point me in the right direction where I can buy one of the Hauligan Gen4 units please?  I can't find anywhere in the UK that sells them, been searching for ages!

Thanks in advance.

Had a good nose around today.  Definitely no water, but couldn't find the BM54 unit!  Stripped right down to the battery, just didn't know where to look  :-[ .  Any one give me a pointer?  Thanks.....

Thank you guys and X5LeMans- Some great answers there.

Sorry guys, just realised I posted this in the E70 and not the E53 forums....  :-[

Denis O - If only it were that simple....lol

X5LeMans - Thanks a million, will get cracking with that tomorrow....

Managed to get all the problems sorted with the car and she purring like a kitten now. The only problem left internally is that the satnav unit has a few problems.

The satnav works, but nothing else does. No radio, tape function not working and no sound what so ever. None of the buttons marked in ...

I have a couple of questions regarding some of the items in the my X5...

What do these lights indicate?
