Yes there are, much cheaper. If you have a laptop handy, buy BMW Scanner 1.4, it’s about £15 on ebay and will give you more depth than Carly.Jamesbradbury wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 8:20 am Another update: with the new battery I've had the problem come back. Not sure how to proceed with electrical troubleshooting as I can't bring myself to shell out £100+ for carly. Are there cheap ways? Cheers

Good news. I scanned for codes and found a K-bus error and upon googling thought I'd unplug my airbag module (can be done by removing the "oddities tray" between the seats) and she came back to life with all issues fixed other than no airbags. Currently in the process of finding/fitting a new module as mine was pissing wet through. Any ideas of the best way to go about this?

Yup...same as mine. Just need to source a S/h module and code it.
Mine was dry as a bone and just gave up the ghost. Common problem.

Good news, I took the module out and stuck it by my dehumidifier for 2 days and put it back in and its fixed itself. Reset the codes and all my lights have cleared. Thanks all for the help.
