ZAX5 is on a distinguished road
First break down

So after a few enjoyable trips around the area decided I really liked the x5

Lots of space
Goes wel, even on seven cylinders.

As we turn off the main road the car cuts out.
Cranks but wont catch.

Soooooo, what now
Luckily the neighbour was passing and he towed the car up the hill.

Parked it on the lawn and used the other cars while I decided what to do.

And here is where the fun of forums came into play.

Searched and read more about the trucks.

And startes to look for a software I could download and use.

Finaly got INPA
Bought the cable and installed in on a spare laptop
Wow was that fun.
And finaly after many deletes and installs the software worked.

Plugged it into the truck and fault popped up as CPS not working.
So get under the truck found the CPS, and it had cracked and broken the connection.
I wont tell why this happened, that is another story all together.

Fixed the CPS and it started.
Yeah, first fix and wasnt so difficult.
