New one arrives in two weeks! Not excited that much yet, but I will be when it gets here.

I am still not convinced that it was the problem, but got there in the end.

Not a fan myself, I prefer cars that come with indicators as standard.

haha I have asked for the indicators to be put back on... I believe they remove the fuse at purchase unless other wise instructed.

I was pretty pleased with my free hand work haha, been awake since 3,30 like a kid on xmas day, had a BMW a few years ago and Mrs The Red has the S-line A1 and agree there is something special about the way a German car is put together, shame they won't be able to trade with us after Halloween but theres a whole different story lol

Are you getting any benefit on the insurance for the tracker? I've just (well 3 weeks ago) bought an X5 and most brokers now wont touch it due to the theft risk (despite not having comfort access) yet wont consider any premium reduction for trackers or other thatcham approved security devices (like OBD port lockers) so for me there is no point in even considering one.

As an aside does the car have keyless access? if so I'd look into taking the fuse out for it!
