Seeing as the issue seems to relate to the ignition switch have you tried a replacement or by-passing it?

I had issues with autodoc and couriers - they couldnt have been less helpful saying i need to take it up with courier but as you say contract is with AD and they with courier. Paypal did sort a claim for me though when sold some dodgy airpods on ebay so i'd start there.

You need to search autotrader, ebay etc etc and find as many examples as possible of the same spec. to argue for the valuation you would be happy with. Mad as it sounds i suggest washing and polishing, hoovering out etc before the assessor comes. When i had similar the valuation wasn't too bad and i kept it as cat N fixing for buttons and pocketing the change. Issue i had is i couldn't find any manuals for sale and they wouldn't accept a comparison with an auto...

99% sure. As i say it was a good car to start with.

in the wild.

It was £5.5k or something. I think I know the car as one very similar used to be parked near me and OCC is not a million miles away. when I saw it it was clean and tidy and I suspect a long term owner old boy car judging by where it used to park. ok it’s an m20 but I think it’s a nice old bus.

The wiper track wears on them so you can open them up (black case with P/N on it 2x3") and shift the wiper track a touch and see it it improves. https://www.mye28.com/tech/rods_pages/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/afm_by_fr_wilk.pdf

I think the Aux only switches if there is something to detect so say a aux-in lead or blue tooth. But what i learned was the firmware needs to be right on the unit is a KW number and needs to be KW30:02 or later i bought an X5 head unit with CD and worked with a lead and the bluetooth adapter. https://forum.bmw5.co.uk/topic/138352-e39-oem-aux-in/?tab=comments#comment-1484066

2 years, wow

To see if flow stops?

That's 2016 though? GDPR came in during 2018 so assume that info regarding former keeper is not printed on a newer V5? Though not bought a car in a while!

Control or supply, either once running ie starter has disengaged they injectors stop firing or its not getting further fuel. I think if the former it would stop dead almost immediately or fail to start. As such i still think is priming the system but not switching on the pump once fired so running out of fuel.

There is a 7th Injector under the inlet manifold i believe but it sounds like a running issue ie injectors not getting the signal to fire or being powered up. If the usual suspects are checking out its going to be time to get the haynes manual out and start checking pins on the ecu to confirm what the ecu is seeing. On the motronic a multimeter can be used to check most of the sensors suggest L-tronic is going to be the same. Time to start playing detective. Have you checked all the earths? i think the injectors are grounded at the back of the head.

Presumably because of GDPR?
