Morning Dave thanks for you reply I forgot to put I’ve scanned it with a bmw scanner I bought of eBay the only code that is coming up is for my airbag that’s been on for ages 

I’ve already got a diversity antenna so il try that next just with searching google that’s a common problem 

the other thing I can’t work out is when my remote locking is working it opens/locks all doors but putting my key in the door has only ever opened the drivers door to open the rest I have to press the button on dash 

thanks 

Hi when I got the car the remote locking wouldn’t work or the central locking with the key in drivers door but the button on the dashboard would lock/unlock all doors.so I got a new key coded and the remote central locking has worked all doors for about 11 months but still if I put key in the door it would only unlock the drivers door then when I come out of work the other night the remote central locking has stopped working again does anyone have any idea to what the problem could be?

up to now I’ve changed the battery in the key and tryed to reprogram it with no luck I’ve checked the fuses all seem fine 

I’m thinking about changing the diversity antenna next to see if that will work the rcl if not what could be the problem to get some kind of central locking? Thanks 

I'm going do an oil change this week on gear box see if that helps but the only trouble I have it getting it go in 1st unless I put it in 5th gear then 1 st and like a bearing noise in 4th gear around 40mph 

Il have go for a drive Init see if it is a case or dpf regen work that I've had done on engine recently is

new glow plugs 

Swirl flap delete with new inlet seals

New vortex breather thinks its called vortex the little housing  on top of rocker cover 

Dpf was blocked so had take it off and clean inlet and egr valve was the same so cleaned them not had the car that long but since cleaning everything it runs alot better just low mpg  I've scanned it for codes an their are no fault codes onky for air bag 

I have 2006 e83 2.0d m47 Manuel gearbox

Since buying it it has a noise only seems in 4th gear around 40mph when accelerating sound like a bearing failing but if I stop accelerating it stops all other gears are fine it's had a new clutch and gear linkage recently and for some reason when trying put it in 1st gear about half way it's like their is somthing stopping it but if I put it in 5th gear then put it in 1st gear it's fine 

Up to now I've changed oil in both diffs and transfer case 

Next thing I'm gonna try is changing oil in gearbox 

As anyone else had this problem and managed to fix it 

Dunno if it's related but recently my trip computer is saying 18 to 19 mpg I would of though it would be more than that

Hi yes I have fixed it now thanks for the reply turned out to be the dpf blocked got some of car dpf cleaner runs better than when I got it 

Hi I've got bmw e83 2006 2.0d m47

I've just changed glow plugs as 3 come up not working while doing that I've blanked the swirl flaps off and changed the rocker gasket clean inlet as was build up with soot and put a new vortex breather on put it all back together cleared all codes then took the car for a run and it's struggling to go over 2000rpm it will rev up no problem stood still so put my code reader on it and come up with fault  4D00 DDE particulate filter system  

Has anyone had this and what was the problem
