Morning,
Sorry I hadnt gotten back to you a lot happened!
So initially I swapped the buttons for new ones (I do SMD soldering work as a side job) no joys. So good chance I just order a new key.
Anyway the reason it all got a bit derailed is I got a Trans Prog Fail Safe pop up.
Luckily I had just landed at my unit - Code 52/53 (2nd & 3rd Gear Monitoring) No other codes....
I've got the plug to check but otherwise chances are it's the solenoid for 2nd&3rd thats gone possibly MOT tester kindly let me yoink his shiny new snap on along with a slew of historical and now deleted codes these remain. Not terrible but we'll see if the plugs choked up first.
And then to top it off... I pulled my E36 out of mothball to cover while the X is incapacitated only for the fuel pump to fail just before emissions
What a week...
