Rear Door Central Locking Busted
I noticed the rear door lock was beginning to act up. When I'd lock the car or open it that door lock would take an extra half second to do its thing. Finally it stopped altogether so now I've got to push the button down and shut the door to lock it, and use the interior handle to open it.
So off I go , stripping down the door card to take a look inside and see what I can see. Not sure what's wrong but I guess I'll work it out. I always hate removing door cards because it's so easy to damage the clips when removing them, and getting the card back on can be a nitemare.

From the sound of it you will need to replace the door latch. The central locking actuator is built in to it. Also, make sure the foam barrier is fully intact and properly stuck, especially the bottom half... If it isn't water can get on the rear floorboard, which is never fun!

I haven't gotten round to this yet but I'm just about to order the door lock actuator. Before I do .....
That door will not open or lock with the lock button on the centre console. It doesn't lock when you hit 5mph and all the other three do. I does not unlock with the remote fob. BUT - it will lock with the remote fob.  I'm guessing a new actuator is the thing to do, but isn't it odd that the door locks with the key fob ? And one more thing. The actuator isn't a part that needs to be coded to the car, is it ?

Yes, it does sound like the actuator is the culprit. And no, it is not a coded part... just plug and play.

4 neighbours with X5's all had their mirrors stolen the same night, and they all appeared on eBay for sale at the same time. These things are €2,500 a pair from the dealer.

My rear n/s door is a bit flaky, probably only a 1-in-10 chance of it unlocking, but always locks again no problem.
How much is an actuator ? It's low on my priorities but I guess I may as well pick one up next time I'm buying parts.
