Well finally

[Micevo]

After a just over a month of ownership I've finally got the X5 to how I like! It's the little things which annoy me so they had to be done,
MID pixels fixed, passenger door window (sticking when all the way down) fixed £7 , PDC sensor £9 eBay, headlight washers new pump £19 eBay ,driver door carrier£20 eBay ( what a pain that was in hindsight should of got genuine part, had to swop broke bit from new one to original, but now done) Aux fan now sorted £free just a bit of tinkering and swearing! And finally today lock barrel repair kit came £5 eBay fixed...

All code read and no codes  oh yea front seats all cleaned an looking good , off to car wash now and hopefully won't have to touch it for a while!!!  Well ) ) )

How did you get the Aux fan to work ???
Share this sacred knowledge.......  please ? 

[Micevo]

Checked every connector changed temp switch made sure it would spin freely connected to scanner done a check and alls working could actually get the fan to spin via scanner,

I knew it was working through the other things I'd done , not sure what It actually was but probably a bit of all, could of been a bit of corrosion on a connector, I had a temp switch lying around so popped that in,

Cheers

Another update

Car is fantastic was a bit dubious when first got it after reading all the problems you get with them but no real problems now just every now and then get engine check light on which is for the o2 sensor bank 1 sensor 1, i know i need to do it but no real rush,
Went to BMW other day to get a spare key £140 who says there expensive!!!!! ::)

Well eBay is certainly your friend. Hate to think what's those issues would have cost had you gone through a dealer workshop.  Sit back and enjoy the ride, you've deserved it.

Good to read of your cost effective efforts & results.
