Chalky, yes I have, but it has been driven since then and not displayed anything like this. It was also not making any form of grinding with the brakes that HDC would normally make.Joined the BMWX5 45e group

Sorry, bad explanation from me it didn't graunch like HDC it kind of felt like a jab jab then an increased jab without the noise but felt like something was trying to correct something ?
I was in and out of low box and GGS mode when it occured

It was a few days ago I was in GGS, and only for a few minutes, and never in low range, we never had anything that bad here.
This started after about 6 miles on the motorway, not playing with anything, just settled on cruise control.Joined the BMWX5 45e group

Just had LRA out and we got some fault codes this time, all pointing at low voltages. That along with the fact it had just had a new battery (at the main dealer) prompted a check of the connections - the main feed to the fusebox was loose and slightly discoloured.
Now its tight again hopefully it will be ok.Joined the BMWX5 45e group

Same thing again this morning, stuttering like I'm jabbing the brakes. Wheels are not hot at all so not a brake problem, thought it was sorted last time, now getting beyond a joke.
Biggest trouble is its probably reset itself again now its gone to sleep so when |I drive away from anyone looking at it, it will appear to be ok.Joined the BMWX5 45e group

I have already spoken with Liam on previous occasions, unfortunately last time the LRA guy found what seemed to be the problem, a very loose battery lead, so no point taking it in. I have also PM'd Liam to keep him informed.Joined the BMWX5 45e group
