Hi all, new owner and therefore new to the forum. Recently bought a 2003 x5 petrol and decided to have a lpg tank fitted (cheaper than buying diesel with same mileage/spec etc). As part of the lpg process a new battery was fitted. I've picked up the car today and only the tailgate opens remotely, the unlock and lock functions do not work on either of my keys.

I have looked at how to reprogram the key but seeing as the tailgate opens fine I'm not sure that it actually needs reproramming.

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

The Battery would've been disconnected for some while for the installation... You'll more likely have to either disconnect it again or reprogram fobs !!

Might be a daft question, but do you interior lights still come on when you one the door?

Try this by shutting the doors, leave 2 mins and reopen them

Good point...

Possibly drain the battery if LCM is getting an "Open" signal from a door... Could be way off with that one tho lol

Jac had exactly the same problem a while back.

Sprayed some WD40 in the locks, sorted.

Sounds a carbon copy.

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Errr not clear here Donald Plastic "L's" with short rubber hoses ??? Distilled water/Ionised water should only be used in an old style lead acid battery. The Rad and engine coolining system should be filled with the correct coolant mix to prevent cavitation and the danger of freezing in low temps. Coolant should be part of the cars regular maintenance and changed every 3 years or so. At that time all hoses and connectors should be inspected and changed where necessary to keep everything in tip top condition. Changing parts can cause as many problems as you may think your solving

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.

      105C thermostat replacement

      You are absolutely right. The strange thing is that when I put the chassis number on the realoem it shows that the temp sensor is not applicable on my vehicle. I will physically check for a sensor. In the meantime, do you think that the removal of the MAP activated thermostat will effect the temp gauge on the dial instrument item 6? I am tempted to add a dummy resistor , 11.5ohms - 13watts , to simulate the MAP thermostat. Your thoughts?

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Morning Andrew I normally disconnect the Neg lead only, some folks disconnect both a few even say disconnect both and touch them together. Goes without saying both sensor plugs need to be checked and a squirt of contact cleaner applied never hurts 😅 Dave
