Hello all - ive jst bought a 2006 X5 d Sport Exclusive Edition - Im chuffed with it but i have a few issues id like to get sorted on it...

The tempreture needle doesnt alway sit in the middle - it either sits just below or if i turn off the climate - on centre/slightly above. I have owned loads a BMWs and know the needle shoudl never be anywhere but middle - i have bled it and checked/topped up the level and all is ok but the needle still doest stay in the middle...any ideas?

I also cannot get the damn bluetooth to connect to any phone despite following the instructions in the manual - when i turn on the car - it says searching and then activiate phone - the instructions say if i press the centre consols button it should say bluetooth pairing - i can not get it to do this...anyone help?

thanks

    have tried doing from the phone also - still nothing happening....

    Have tried 3 phones including the same one for which the cradle matches (a rather ancient 6230!!) - still nothing!!

    Temp prob could be. Air lock in system. Temp sensor is dodgy or the thermostat.
