NSF front brake pipe corroded.

What a bastard of a job.

Everything else I've done on this car I've been thinking this motor is so easy to work on then this struck. Pig of a job.

Then I have an airbag light on now for some reason. Nothing was touched at all. Next job...possibly taking the cluster out and pulling the SMD for it. That'll learn it.
Easy enough to reset that using software.
Sure is. Was hoping to go at least a month of ownership without buying a code reader for it.

Not to sound like a Noob here, but where does one get these stubbies from for the Z4? My lanky one is bent and for the sake of a future project, can they pick up / receive DAB signal?

There are quite a few threads about this, from what I saw you have lots of options. I however just got mine from BMW just to assure myself. Range from £5 -£20. someone more knowledgeable will probably step in to explain :P

Beautiful day today, so took the MR to work. Finished early and headed out for a walk around Siblyback reservoir with MrsG, followed by dinner out near Bodmin and Finally a moon lit drive home back across the moor.

Perfect. :D
