For anyone else, found a great youtube footage on a fix for this, which is to use a self adhesive foam pushed between the 'eyebrow' and headlight which seals that route for water. You can then get lamps out use hairdryer to dry light out an a wire rid with cloth to clean the inside of the lens before putting headlight bulb back and back into service. Looks like a good fix, needs patience but best I have seen.
Here is the link.
Hi Stu
The only bit left is the air gap sensor to reluctor ring. Try measuring the air gap on one of the other wheels make sure the mounting area is absolutely clean and the sensor fully seated a small difference can make all the difference
The X5 can still send you Bonkers
Good Luck

Hi all… can someone confirm I’m not being stupid please.
our French people carrier is doing my head in!
its abs light is on and I’m trying to pinpoint the issue.
plug the computer in (proper autel fr704 french poo jobbie ) and it tells me 1 fault is abs P2FOD code…
now, it tells me to refer to the service manual, which tells me nothing else. So I put it on live data and turn each front wheel.. I’m getting a read out on the speed. Both seem good… both rear wheels are not giving any live speed readings. If I disconnect the lhs rear sensor, I get 2 faults.. one is the original and one is telling me the left is disconnected. Remover the right and only one fault, rhs disconnected…. Thus if I’m correct, the problem must be the rhs abs sensor. The module must be ok as it can distinguish if I have disconnected the sensor. …
I have now changed the sensor, the brake disc, which has the reluctor ring on it and the holding plate for the sensor on the rhs, but I still get the one fault.
It’s going for its mot next week I’m about to have a nervous breakdown with it!
what am I missing? …. Clearly it’s not a bmw, which is a good enough reason! … never had this issue with my X5 lol.
