Hi All,

So I inherited my brothers X5 2002, and have already run into problems, while he is enjoying himself in vegas!
1, Batt dead (changed Battery)
2, Now the key wont open the doors remotely, only the boot, tried re initialisation and this didn't work.
3, and to add to my problems, the drivers door unlocks manually but the door wont open.

This was especially embarrassing, as I was on a date, and the girl I was with was not impressed that I had to crawl through the boot to let he in, (classy)

I love the car, but it seems it has problems, I am not made of money so will try to fix these myself, there is also a knocking noise coming from the drivers side fron suspension, think it might be the bushes or a shock.

So please any advice would be really helpful, and maybe, just maybe I can salvage some respect back, as it is really awkward getting into a car via the boot.

Me!
