hope someone can help i have a couple of questions regarding my 2001 bmw x5. when i bought the x5 the driver door lock barrel was missing so i have to lock it by the key. does anyone know what part i need or part number for the complete driver lock assembly and is it easy to fit? my 2nd question is as i cant manualy open the car, my car battery has gone completly flat sat in snow. so i can not open my x5. i need to try and find a posstive connection someware underneith the car so i can jump the car as i cant get inside to open bonnet or boot to access battery. does anyone know a easy point i can connect to a posstive? the earth connection is ok as i can connect to chassis. hope someone can please advize. thanks

i crawled underneith and sounds like it comming from inside the rack mate heres a video i took today which you can see better in video as was in daylight. you can see the tie rod is removed but still have noise as seen in video.

i know on some racks you can adjust it with the adjustment screw on rack, can you also do it on the x5 rack?

just wanted to know is there a haynes manual for a 2001 bmw x5? i have not seen any avalible?

hi guys just got my first x5 its 2001 model. i have a problem theres a knocking noise when your turn wheel seems to be comming from both sides. had a look underneath and thr sound seems to be comming from the steering rack i got someone to turn wheel and if i place my finger on the rack i can feel a vibration on the steering rack when you hear the knocking noise. i removed the big plate underneith my x5 and i also removed the rubber boot off the steering rack i noticed there was no grease in the boot? is the boot suppost to be packed out with grease? heres a short video i took in the dark you can see the steering rack removed boot & hear the noise when you turn the wheel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAmPQVelb0k&feature=youtu.be hope someone can help
