I have been in touch with Andy Navman to inform him of my repair and his reply was.... Top man I've done over 1000 ccc's & never have I seen or had 1 with a blown fuse at back of the quad lock power plug U must be the luckiest man alive I don't even think u will find reference to it on forums......

Only good news on this update, I removed the CCC module using YouTube videos for reference and sure enough the unit rattled like a piggy bank. I managed to find a video showing a guy stripping the CCC unit to replace a faulty DVD so I used this information to strip it and remove the loose change. I ...

Thanks for your reply. It looks like I may of found the cause of the issue but it's not great news!! My little boy (2.5 years old - you know that type). Has been feeding coins into the dvd player when he was left unattended for a few seconds yesterday and it's believed to have shorted the power supp...

I have this morning checked the fuses in the rear of the car and they are intact, I'm wondering if this is starting to point at a failed CCC unit?

I'd be interested to know if anyone has had one of these units repaired successfully.

Thank you for the replies, I have checked the fuses under the dash which were all ok. I will look at the ones in the rear and report back.

Hi all, tried a quick search but couldn't pin point anything easily. So today whilst driving along the satnav display, cd player and parking sensors all go off and won't come back on. I have tried to disconnect the battery, check fault codes (won't communicate with the CCC or cd player) and check fu...

I apologize for the late update, I received a 2nd hand replacement cooling fan unit (purchased from eBay) and fitted it to my X5, after clearing the fault codes the replacement 600w fan works perfectly. On a side note the old unit wasn't actually seized but somehow a decent sized stone had become ja...

I have seen various YouTube video clips on that, I am pretty happy that the fan is the fault in this case using the information that I have found online. I have managed to buy a 2nd hand one with a short guarantee for a price I'm happy to see what happens. I will post an update in a few days when it...

Thankyou all for your swift and detailed replies. Fan is seized, it was plugged in and I have measured 12.5v at the plug and a voltage down at 3.4v on the small wire in the plug. . Just a side note, I always thought that the a/c was poor - explains it now... Best get ordering one as the caravan come...

Thankyou for your reply, it's not a factory fit towbar so my guess is that it's never been upgraded. My only concern is the difference in current between the two units 50amps v 70amps - just wondered if they are interchangeable and what modifications need to be done to fit the larger unit.

It appears that the cooling fan has given up the ghost on my X5, I've only owned this car for approximately 8 months and I'm not sure it's ever worked in all honesty. I use this car to tow our caravan and my track car so it's pretty essential, the fan fitted is rated at 600w but I'm seeing two diffe...
