Not checked how much ccurrent the starter is drawing, but not sluggish at all

Thanks for the reply. I read it should be 18ma, but the battery should be able to cope with 40ma. The left light coming on twice had baffled, but BMW do odd things when low volts, took the car out yesterday for a two hour drive and seemed ok.since i replaced the fsr I haven't taken it for a long ...

Jump started it today and long drive. On return I measured the battery voltage with engine running=14.22Vdc, so alternator good and charging. Hooked a multimeter between batt negative(all doors shut etc) and get 3.6 amps draw, should be 750ma. Started pulling fuses and fuse 75(sat nav) and drops to ...

After charging for a few hours, jumped it and went for a drive. It went into sleep mode after 16 minutes and started ok this morning, but I know it will drain. I plugged a code reader in(My C110) and only had the usual glow plug codes. Multimeter will be here Wednesday, so will hook that between the ...

Yes, I swapped the hedgehog over at the start of the week, seemed to behave as was staring everyday, going to sleep at exactly the 16 minute point. Went shopping in it Friday evening, went to start it Saturday evening but not enough juice in the battery. Later on Saturday night the left hand head ...

Drove the car on 3 hour journey and it behaved well, left it for 2 days an battery drained to a point where it wouldn't start.  My daughter then came home and said the left hand low beam headlight is on again! More investigation needed i think

Red herring I thiink, just called her and my daughter checked it and said working....I will keep an eye on

Okay, will see if I can source a charger, only have an ooptimal for the R1 and that won't be powerful enough. The Mrs has had to pop out so told her to take my x5, just noticed as she drove round the corner and braked, the centre/high level brake light did not illuminate? But passes check control ...

The part number of my replacement far was 64116923204. After 15 minutes on the jump leads she fired up,went for a 30 minute drive, heater and fan worked fine, had to stop for fuel, it started back up no problems, went for a further 45 minutes and went home. After 16 minutes it went into sleep mode ...

Final stage resistor/hedgehog arrived in post today , got it fitted in about 20 minutes, battery so flat i have left the wife's car connected up with jump leads, will leave it half an hour and try to start. The part no on my fsr was 2942000002, couldn't find any for sale? So got the one recommend ...

Okay,  I will swap it out. Already seen plenty of types on ebay. Mines a 05 facelift model, will look at which one i need

Right,  I shall replace the 'hedgehog' Fsr,  where'sbest to get one? Stealership ? Fleabay?  Are non genuine ones Ok? Or just try euro car parts etc

I did think about thehedgehog ,  but heating/fan works fine and doesn't run when switched off. Worth replacing just in case?
