Top tip, In the unlikely event you are a Z4 owning, Roof motor mover, and Goldfish owner. The 52g Tetra Goldfish flakes container fits perfectly over the motor to protect it and the connectors. :thumbsup:
If you are not a Goldfish owner you can send the unwanted flakes to me. :D

I used a 500ml "Perfectly clear" flavoured water bottle for mine, the sports cap type cut down in height.

Can anyone recommend a good mechanic in the Midlands that can do this job for me? I'm in Shropshire but can get to Birmingham / Wolverhampton no problem.

Thanks

Ducklakeview might be your nearest ,would still be worth the drive.
You need someone practised in the job rather than a "good mechanic"

Email me @ [email protected] and I'll send you my mobile. I'm passing that way tomorrow and Saturday so could always chuck the tools in the car!

Who is this? Or anyone else living in Midlands or London that can do this for me (with experience of course) :?
