Thanks Dave. That's great detailed information. You're right, we do tend to replace rather than mend (if possible) and I'm all for saving a few pennies!! This will keep me busy next week. ATB

Thanks again Dave. The diagnostic check was done at a main dealership so I assume it will be as you suggested. I'll call in at my local garage in the morning and run through the things you suspect could be the cause. I appreciate your help with this.

Thanks Dave. I have recently had a diagnostic test on the vehicle as there was a fault with the tcu battery, which needed replacing. Would the door unlocking fault have shown during this or not due to it being an intermittent issue? Thanks again for your help

An update to the intermittent fault. The issue with the passenger door, rear doors and tailgate not unlocking only happens if the radio doesn't turn off when the engine is off and the driver's door is opened!! Very odd. All settings in the idrive are for the radio to turn off and all doors and tailgate to unlock when the engine is turned off and driver'sdoor is opened. Anyone out there who has experienced anything like this? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. It's passenger and rear doors and tailgate, but only occasionally. I'll look at a replacement actuator and see if that solves the issue. 👍

Hi all. Newbie to the forum. I have a 2018 X3 M sport 2.0D I have set all doors and tailgate to unlock when the engine is turned off. Sometimes they do unlock and on the odd occasion they remain locked. Has anyone experienced something like this before. Thanks in advance.
