So just checked voltage with multimeter and it is 11.4v with the engine and ignition off. When running it hovers around 14.3 to 14.5v which leads me to suspect I have a drain somewhere. The battery is a 12 month old Exide so shouldn't be failing already. Any ideas how I go about identifying where the drain is coming from?
Cheers,
Joe

Thanks for the reply Dave,
Yes, when I trickle charge it, I use the + post under the bonnet. Will have a look at the voltage tonight, cheers again.

Cheers Dave, will change ibs sensor and see if that helps anything. With regards to battery, I have a trickle charger that I left on the battery overnight to fully charge the battery, the charger itself said the battery was full but when I look through bimmercode, the state of charge is and has always been 57%. Wondering whether it's something to do with IBS or whether my charger isn't doing much? Going to order controller for glow plugs and do a change, the only time I see it is on cold days the idle is a bit lumpy for the first 10 seconds.

Thanks for the reply, Dave. I got a new exide battery for it last year but didn't realise it needed registering. It's the same capacity and type as the old one. I fully charged it last week and the registered it to see if it would help. I did change the glow plugs for Bosch ones last week but looks like nothings changed. I'll buy those sensors and try and find a control module for the glow plugs to change. Think I should get a new battery sensor (ibs)? Trying to clear as many codes as I can within financial reason! As for the key, I had a firm program me a new key last year as the other died, would it be weak already after a year? Cheers.

Hi all,
Just fitted cruise control and successfully coded it using inpa and tool32. While I was in inpa, I decided to scan for codes and found a fair list of errors. The only issue I'm really having at the moment is that the key fob seems to work intermittently when locking/unlocking the car. I had it replaced just over a year ago and it was working fine for the first 6 months. Wondering if anyone can see a link with this and one of the below codes?
JBBF - A6CF, A6E8
MRS - 93D0
DME/DDE - 4A6E, 4A07, 4A10, 4B37, 4A27, 4D03
DSC - 5E50
CAS - A0B3
FZD - A670
KLIMA - 9C6C
Cheers,
Joe

I did it whilst washing it so potentially not Dave. Thanks for the info again, will have a look tomorrow and if still the same will start pulling fuses! Thanks again, it's got aftermarket stereo and headlights so will start there I think.
Cheers,
