I have bought 2 or 3 in the past - might not be 50p but it certainly isn't a fiver.

Here's the realoem diagram

Thanks, I will give it a shot. I wonder if when the thing stops beeping does that mean that it has stopped emitting a signal from the sensors?

Walk around the X5, putting you ear next to each sensor, you should hear a clicking noise from all working sensors.

If no clicking noise then either , all your sensors are not broken(unlikely) or there is something wroung with your control unit.

hope that helps a tad
