Thanks for letting us know and well done for persevering.

Owned my D2 for over 17 years and sold it over 3 years ago as it was starting to annoy with its persistent leaks. I regrated selling it the moment it was driven away, and still do. 😢

I can only see relay 7 as an ignition relay which feeds the CJB (passenger footwell). Relay 8 is the fast/slow wiper relay, Relay 11 is wiper on/off. Pins 1& 2 at the motor should be power but they are switched from the relay so you may have to operate switch to find voltage there, if not that...

Are you sure pin 1 should not be a ground ? Or, it may only show a voltage when operated if it the intermittent ?

Is the socket live with ignition off ? My solar charger says it cannot be used with this type of socket.

The barrel collapsed on my D2, which I had to change but this wasn't sudden. It became Increasingly difficult over a few months. Removed shroud and drilled bolts out from above to change.

Agreed, diagnostic read is the way to go but does anyone know if the warning light flashes in sequence ? I recall X-Type Jags had a flash sequence that indicated which circuit. Slightly OT I know, just curious.

In my humblest of opinions I would dispense with the concourse plan and go for good useable. And use it !

There is one unanswered question. Are BMW Forums as friendly as this ? 😁

You've probably got this by now but connections are under the headliner.

If it clicking I would assume it trying to start. The Park switch usually does not allow that. A good code reader will help you out, but whilst you waiting double check all battery/starter connections and earths. Double check any connections that may have been disconnected especially in the...

Interesting Video, but how does the Driver get away with Driving with all those Cameras on the 'screen ? 🤔

There is a nut and thread adjuster at the rear of the centre console for a quick fix, pop up the reartray to access just ensure handbrake is off before adjusting.. But given the age of any FL2 the brakes themselves could probably do with a service.

I've just had a little google but can't see any pictures. The part you have there looks like the LHS, facing forward from back of car. Make and secure connection, carefully line up white clips and push home ensuring nothing sticking out.

There should be one on either side. As in your picture the wider end goes to the base of the tailgate. Green two pin connection at the top. Just be careful when fitting as if it catches you will have the same issue. It is a little fiddly but easy enough. If I where you I would replace that lower...
