Hi GWC,
What you are saying is interesting, it would mean that it must be a known problem on some models, or series. What year and model is your X5 ?
Mine is a 02 4.6, with nearly all extras. As I said in the initial post, I had problems with it which were solved by the dealer while under waranty. They changed the RDC system once, and the telephone kit which caused a battery drain.
I just checked the car, and the battery is still charging, the charger is sophisticated and it tells me the battery has already accepted 39 amps, therefore it was discharged quite badly, although the voltage was still at 11.8V
The charge is not finished yet, I'll let it run until the end, and see what it gives...
I'll be interested to know what parts you have bought for the ignition, and if you had the advice from you dealer to do this..
Thanks
Charles

The dealer swapped the battery over and it cured it for a while,but it still happens,turn the key to start and just a click,turn it off then back on and it starts.
I read somewhere that they have a fault with the ignition switch, I have bought a starter button kit complete with a relay..when I get round to fitting it.
