  1. Thanks

    Its the same at Halliwell Jones Warrington.

    I know am being a cheap skate but I was looking to get one cheaper. ;)

    Cheaky I know but I am working off the cuff as I might not even like camping and I have got up to now A tow-bar detachable Witter at £280 13 pin Wiring at £60 (missing the important bit, but not told that when purchased) and over £1000 on the caravan as a starter van. And I will proably hate it ha ha !

    I suppose if I do hate camping I will have the full towing kit for someone else E53 for sale too LOL

    O and a 4 berth Sprite musketeer ;)

  2. Hi mate,

    I went whit Chriss Knott through the ex-vecs forum last year. They never even asked me if my car had one! For me in my new house in Warrington £800 give or take a few ££'s that's cheap for me ;) try them mate

    good luck,

    Also try contacting tracker companies, I met someone recently who got himself an old M5. His insurance told him it must be tracked so off he went looking around. Hey presto it was fitted already. Just paid the £100 odd ££'s and tracked for as long as he owns the car now.

  3. Got my E53 3.0 i last year. 112500 miles and drives like she has done 30000. ;)

    Changed front anti roll bar bush's thats it. £130 all in.

    Need my 22" refurbishment and its sorted out

    good luck mate in buying you will love it!

  4. Turns out I am missing the VDO trailer hitch module in a casing next to the battery.....

    Fuming! I got the wiring from ebay used but was told thats all I needed.

    BMW want near £160 for the little box and Near £75 for coding if required. (not likely)as per there parts dept'

    Does anyone have one that they can provide the part number from please? Or unused ;) I can buy?? lol

    That way I can try breakers ect.

    Gutted! :(

    Really do appreciate the help

  5. Take they tow bar 'socket' on the car apart and check the connections in there are ok.

    I have fitted tons of these on vans/trucks. been out to repair lots too, usually wires have worked loose or rust has gotten in there.

    Other than that, it may need reprograming at the dealers?

    I'll keep thinking though, im not a fan of going back to the dealer lol

    Thanks mate I will unscrew it tomorrow and take a look.

    Just like me to have such a small issue but go the long way about sorting it ha ha

    Thanks for the advice.

  6. Hi guys,

    Fast reply too.

    The van lights work on all other cars vans ect we have tried on hr.

    Just seems to be mine.

    The fittings match perfect too, I seen the westfila site and they said its under the battery cover but that connection seems to big and does not fit.

    Its defiantly my car. The connection I have is 13 pin connection for the van right down too the connection in the pic. i there another connection ??

    really at a loose end

  7. Hi all, I have a 2002 E53 X5 3.0i

    I am a new member and have been members of cubs ect before. I know they can be really helpful

    Unfortunately I come with problems :)

    I have the 13 pin westfila towing wiring but I cant get the lights to work on my caravan. The water pump interior lights all work tho?

    I was told it plugs in on the drivers side connection in the spare wheel bay. I have found the connection that matches perfectly so am I going wrong somewhere?

    The pics are attached

    Thanks in advance Andy
